Summary:
Links 2004 is the best golf simulation on the X-Box. Links is more simulation than game. Although it doesn't boast all of the features of Tiger Woods, it's graphical beauty and more realistic gameplay will make video golfers everywhere rejoice.

Review NaN of 5

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Ebgames.com

Summary:
All in all a pretty good console golf game. I was a little worried about the analog stick swing, being a traditional 3-click swing fan, but I came to enjoy it. As an offline game Links 2004 offers a good amount of challenge and replayability. (This review will be strictly about the offline game, I will be getting Xbox Live soon.) Few things I'd like to see changed if there is another installment of Links in the future which I'll get into in 'Gameplay'. Gave this game a 5 out of 5 because I've played it for some time and keep coming back to it. I have a feeling that once I get hooked up to Live I'll be playing it even more.

Summary:
Links2004 is the best golf game on the Xbox period. I almost stop playing golf games when EA signed Tiger Woods. I bought the first two titles after they put his name on the title. The fireworks in that second game killed it for big time. Links2004 brought the game of golf back to my console. If you like a simulation with a little bit of hip thrown in then Links2004 is for you. If you like golf and hate the Tiger Woods games then this title is for you.

Summary:
I've been waiting for a quality golf game for my XBOX. It's finally here. Outlaw golf was a joke, literally, and I am not a fan of anything EA makes so I waited for Links instead of buying Tiger. Console golf games have always been entertaining and fun to play with friends. But Links combines awesome graphics, quality gameplay, and all of the features you need to keep you busy and satisfied. The only thing Tiger has over Links is the custom character builder. You can only customize your player a little bit in Links....but that's where it ends. Links is the best golf game on XBOX by default. Tiger doesn't offer LIVE play, and Outlaw Golf is geared at amusing teenagers.

Summary:
I couldn't wait for this title to hit the stores. I rushed to buy my copy as soon as it was loaded off the truck. I rushed home, loaded the game and was unpleasently suprised. I have to swing using the LEFT thumbstick? How awkward is this? In Tiger Woods 2003 you use the RIGHT thumbstick and it feels very natural. I'm sorry but it just doesn't feel comfortable to me and there is no reconfiguring of the controller. Aside from that, the game looks amazing! The graphics are very good, the players look good and the objects around the course such as buildings, bleachers and trees look good as well. Ahhh, the trees look awsome! My biggest complaint about Tiger Woods is that objects around the course looked horrible. Not in this game.
The options won't exactly overwhelm you. You have your standard game modes, challenges that unlock courses and tournament play. The players you have to choose from are limited to Sergio, Jesper, Mike Weir and Anika plus a few additional male and female models. You can change their attire, shirts, pants, hat, shoes and gloves. You also choose animation and name brand equipment.
The bottom line is, the game looks great but just doesn't feel right to me.
If you like graphics over gameplay, this one's for you. However, if you like solid gameplay, loads of options and pretty good graphics to go along with it I'd go with Tiger.
