    The bottom line is that this game has everything a fan could want, except of course, that it's full of courses and players that most Americans have never heard of.

    As is the case with any good simulation, there are lots of details for the golf fan to tinker with.

    The game is just boring sometimes and has a couple of ball physics and audio problems that prevent it from being one of the elite golf N64 games on the market.
  5. Electric Playground

    A little bit too involved for the average gamer, even a golf fan like myself. It just takes too much work to get onto the professional circuit, where I only recognized a handful of names out of the crowd.

    Nintendo 64 owners will immediately be put off by the game's graphics, as well, which range from decidedly so-so to downright 'coyote ugly.'

    A highly detailed and realistic golf simulation that just isn't all that much fun to play and has a few maddening quirks.

    Maybe they should change their names to something catchy, like Fuzzy or Chi-Chi, so we can remember who the hell they are.

    The graphics are it's worst quality.

    Though "PGA" plays the simulation angle well, the easy putting, occasional quirks in control and lackluster graphics that actually affect the gameplay adversely all leave this title mired in mediocrity.

    I don't know if it should be commended for capturing the boredom and stodginess of the real European Tour or ridiculed for taking up valuable shelf space, plastic and ink.
  12. GameSpot

    "PGA European Tour" lacks the needed bells and whistles to get a good rating, while the game's tired, sparse graphics and gameplay glitches prevent it from breaking even.
  13. CheckOut

    "PGA European Tour" exemplifies boredom.

    I'm just gonna say that the graphics a really bad in this game and that just defeats the purpose of playing the game.

    Faithful adaptation of the sport in that it's astonishingly dull. For hardcore golf fans only.
