rollone: would it be worth the time to download? ive never played it and was looking for some input...cost, etc etc
Links is a true test of how well you know how golf plays for real. If you're a real golfer and understand things like what feet below the ball does to a shot and how to compensate for it, Links gives you the exact same adjustments to stance and swing that the real game requires. You just have to know how to use them.
IMO, WGT would be hands down the greatest golf game ever if they were to incorporate the game engine that Links used. I doubt that will ever happen, though, because Links resides on your computer and there's so much more you can do with a game that way.
It's tough to compare the 2 games but Links was always an excellent game. Still have over 200 courses myself, including Augusta. :-)
