    Superb. The game has more than enough features for a golfer to keep interest in this game without ever playing on the internet.

    I was amazed at the strength of the gameplay. With the tremendous online abilities and the multiple options for each player, the game has great depth.

    It may not have the gusto and domineering presence as it did before but a little competition has undeniably sharpened this golf game.

    The Real-Time Swing adds a completely new (and welcome) dimension to Links 2003. [Jan 2003, p.114]

    Remains the best of its genre, with its ball physics, ease of play, and wonderful online community. However, aside from the fantastic new control method and character models, not much has changed in the series in five years.

    Links is dead, long live Tiger Woods! I used to love this series, but the lack of stability (esp. with newer drivers), the static and plain Links is dead, long live Tiger Woods! I used to love this series, but the lack of stability (esp. with newer drivers), the static and plain backgrounds and the average sound make this a mediocre game at best. The new swing is great, but guess what--Tiger Woods has had it for years!… Expand
