Well it definitely leaves a similar mark, but not in the way of innovate gameplay.

There's the Freeform game, with unlimited money -- that is, no money worries at all -- and all animals and buildings, etc., available. Pick a region anywhere in the world for your zoo and start building.

The graphics are far from pushing the envelope of the Xbox, instead it seems to meet the minimum expectations of a box game.

You've got basic run, jump, grab and gun gameplay, mixed with some interesting time controls and a weapon that can suck up any nearby junk to shoot back at the enemy.

Tired of playing the same old Halo 2 maps over and over, but still not quite ready to let them go either?

There are three things that I love to do when playing video games.

Links 2004 offers the standard gameplay options but most of the single player features are focused around the career mode.

Aside from the new island, the biggest change is the addition of housing, something that's been clamored for by players since the beta.

Just because a game has a sliver of success on one platform certainly does not guarantee that it will translate well to another.

First, the game looks and sounds much the same, which is to say, fabulous.
Links 2001
The benchmark in the PC Golf genre has always been the Links franchise -- it has all but dominated the PC scene until just recently.
