Ok so, today I have been playing Links 2001 by ugh...Microsoft, yes they bought Access a long time ago and proceeded to ruin the fine game that used to be Links 386. There was a time when I could read the swing meter and play online with the best...that time has passed folks.

Two reasons really, one...I am obviously out of practice, but Two, there is no indication how far the current swing meter hits a ball, and it is very inconsistent...to the point of being downright unreliable...I am used to the classic 3 click swing, where you click to start, click to set power and click for snap...

So far it seems that with putting there is just no telling how far the ball is going to go...I wish they left the old swing meter. The new meter is oval shaped and is very fast, making it so you have to have Quake like reactions for GOLF!! it's golf people, not a twitch fest frag em or lag em game like quake arena or america's army...needless to say, the graphics are still good, but damn that meter. I am trying to do better than bogey golf on a course I have never played in a tournament I have never entered with software that is completely foreign to me! Where is the love???
