Summary: Golf Pro Want-A-Be
Review: I was at MacWorld the other day and Links was being displayed. I watched as they demostrated the game. I was able to get a chance to play it and to be honest, I played it for some time there and then found a computer set up with the game installed spent the rest of the day playing the game. Love the stragedy in it and the ability to change the settings of the game.

Summary: Links CE rocks!!
Review: I was one of the main beta testers (Links Golf Community) to test and see the progression of CE, and all I can say is, this game is heads and tails above Links LS 2000. There are some small OS X issues, but rest assured, Green Dragon, the company that ported the game to the Mac, will be releasing patches to make this game work perfectly.I also tested LS 2000, and after the game was released, Green Dragon stayed on top of updates for months after release, and made the game right. They will do the same for Links CE. With any graphics intensive game, one must trim some of the bells and whistles often to get the performance they want on their systems. Linsk CE is no exception. Go into graphics settings, and turn OFF flag animations and background animations. If you really have the need to watch birds fly by, then maybe a walk to your local park with some binoculars may be a better alternative. If you want performance, turn these off. Also, just turn down rendering a little, and you'll be fine. The stunning courses included with Links CE make the older courses in LS2k pale in comparison. Also, if you've played LS2K a lot, you're probably pretty tired of all those courses. With the Arnold Palmer Course Designer (APCD) included in Links CE, you can design your own or download (Links Corner) hundreds of well done, fun to play courses. At the LGC (linksgolfcommunity.com), we play all our matches online, and Links CE has a very cool 'spectator' feature that allows non players to tag along with the players and watch the round without playing. The spectators can also chat to the players if they want. Neat feature. Overall, don't let a few sour grapes ruin your plans to play Links CE. It's a beautiful game, it's harder than previous versions (a good thing), and it hasn't crashed on my in 2 weeks. In fact, it crashed only twice in 6 months of beta testing! Go for it, then come buy the LGC, and join us in a free, fun group of online players involved in tourneys and ladders. See ya there!

Summary: I love links CE!
Review: Is it perfect? No. Rarely have I ever bought a [$$$] software product that was bug free. However, I've had a blast playing and would recommend Links CE to anyone. I've played it successfully in both OS X and 9.2.2 with relatively few problems. Most of the problems that have been reported in other reviews has to do with the reviewer's inability to read documentation, make a simple trip to a web site to update software, or use of older/limited equipment. This game is graphics/sound intensive so some tweaking of individual machines is to be expected! There are some issues with OS X, but I am confident that they will be worked out in short order. Links CE for the Mac is a great game...the best computer golf simulatin around!

Review: Is this what we have waited for? I do not know how the OS9 version works, but DO NOT buy this for OSX. In the space of one hour I had 3 Kernal panics and never once got past the first hole without crashing. Visually, the game looks great, I just wish it was playable. This software is not ready for release as an OSX application. I returned it to Amazon.

Summary: Good Graphics but Clumsy to Use
Review: Links 2002 for Mac is OK, but not great. First, if you are an IMac user like me, you'll need to change your screen resolution to 800x600 for this product to even work. The IMac system has the right graphics card, however the program just cannot take the high quality resolution and it bombs the whole system if you don't turn down the resolution. The second irritation of the software is you need the CDs to make it work. I'm all for protecting intellectual rights, but come on. CD Swapping? You need disk #1 to start the program and you need other disks to do other steps (like loading golf courses). In all a very clumsy way to handle what should be a great game. Bottom line, it's graphically appealing, fun to play, but very clumsy and does not take full advantage of the IMac graphics capabilities.

Review: Looks great and plays well with my 14" iBook in OSX. However, it often slows to a crawl or freezes. Mostly after coming out of "sleep". I have to use the reset button and reboot. Luckily, you can start back where you left off. Maybe a patch will come soon.

Summary: The Best Golf Sim Ever
Review: Mine ran perfectly out of the box. After a little tweaking of graphics and sound it ran even better. This is a phenomenaly realistic golf simulation that is a MAJOR upgrade from links ls 2k. I just adore playing this game and can't seem to stop. ;-) Join us at linksgolfcommunity.com for ladders, tournaments and commeraderie. You can also learn all the tricks to making this game work best on your system. Blutch

Summary: The Gift That Keeps on Giving...
Review: My husband is an avid golfer was very excited about being able to "design-in" our brand new Municipal golf course "The Meadow At Peabody" so he could play golf at home And the old fashioned way. Well, the game didn't arrive for Christmas and then it didn't arrive for our March anniversary, and then it didn't arrive for the opening of the full 18 hole opening of the Meadow in May.
It really should be a pretty fine game...because we've now waited through Fathers' Day, and his birthday is coming up and then it looks like Christmas again.
