Links 2004 | Original Xbox Review

Get ready to hit the links with our review of Links 2004, a classic golf game released for the Xbox in 2003. Developed by Microsoft Game Studios and Access Software, this game features realistic golf physics, a wide selection of courses, and a robust course editor for creating your own custom golf courses.
In this review, we'll take a close look at Links 2004's various modes and features, including the challenging career mode where you work your way up through the ranks of professional golfers. We'll also examine the game's graphics, which were impressive at the time of release, and how they hold up today. We'll discuss the game's sound design, from the satisfying "clink" of a well-struck golf ball to the ambient noise of the natural surroundings.

I absolutely loved this back in the day. I also loved how the commentator would recognise and speak your name when playing your shots.

One of the best golf games ever made

Me and my dad spent so much time playing this game on my og xbox. It’s one of the few games he would play. I remember this and Medal of Honor frontline most fondly

Im currently playing this on the original xbox! I genuinely find it more fun than modern golf games.

In my opinion the best golf game ever. So many online stroke play with freinds online. Great memories.

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

Sounds like I should pick this one up. Great review, very helpful! :)

[@campxbox]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

I'm not a fan of a lot of golf games, but I do like a good one. Outlaw Golf has a similar mechanic where you have to move the stick to drive the ball, and is a very solid and fun golf game with an irreverent aesthetic. I've seen Links 2004 for cheap a couple times, but was wary of it. If it pops up again I'll grab it.

I’ve actually have never played Outlaw Golf but I know of it. I have it and the Christmas versions they released in my collection, maybe I’ll check them out soon.

This is the best console golf game ever in my opinion

[@surfblue7336]

This was a good game

[@doublebogey6273]

Best golf game of all time. Only game that feels like golf. Best played though on Advanced with no skill points

[@bmaze35640]

That dog will hunt!

[@trauma50disaster1]

The emulation on pc makes these xbox games so much better.

[@knitro9043]
