Description of Links LS 2000

Growing accustomed to Links LS 2000's control scheme couldn't be easier. Links LS 2000 offers four different swing methods: the new PowerStroke swing, where you actually move the mouse left and right to denote backswing and downswing; the traditional two-click swing; a three-click swing; and a new Easy swing, where striking the ball is as simple as aiming and pressing the mouse button. Furthermore, Links LS 2000 includes many diverse training modes, such as the new "Links Lessons," that ease novice PC golfers into the interface, options, and controls.

With five brand-new courses, including the classic St. Andrews Old Course, as well as the ability to import any of the over 25 Links LS add-on courses, Links LS 2000 should occupy space on players' hard disks for many months. Additionally, players can hop on Microsoft's online gaming service, the MSN Gaming Zone, and complete against other online golfers. Once again, the proven Links LS gameplay doesn't disappoint with 35 different play styles, including stroke play, skins game, and a new wolf challenge mode. --Doug Radcliffe

The ball physics of Links LS are so accurate, you can adjust your stance, club-face angle, and swing plane to set up a high-arching wedge shot that will actually back up on the green, just as it would on a real course! Links LS immerses you in a tournament environment with galleries of thousands to cheer your best shots.

Links LS supports more than twenty-five of the world's greatest championship and resort courses (sold separately). New courses are re-created regularly to extend your desktop golf experience. Links LS includes multimedia tours of St Andrews, Covered Bridge, Hapuna, and Mauna Kea. In-depth multimedia interviews get you acquainted with the legend himself--Arnold Palmer.
