(Press Release)
February
20, 2004
Microsoft
Game Studios announced today that the Plantation
Course at Kapalua is now available to
Xbox Live subscribers worldwide for $4.99.
The arrival of the new downloadable content bolsters an already
feature packed experience for the popular Xbox golf series, “Links
2004.” The
par 73, 7,263-yard Plantation Course at Kapalua, which hosted the opening
event of the year on the professional tour, is
the course of the champions. Each
January, the course hosts an elite field of the previous year's winners.
The grand scale of the course designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill
Coore unfurls across natural geographic formations and pineapple
plantation fields that take your breath away.
The
addition of Kapalua brings the total number of courses in “Links
2004” to ten. “Links
2004” also features real
international courses like St Andrews, Loch Lomond, Grey Wolf, Four
Seasons Resort Aviara and New South Wales just to name a few. With
the cold weather keeping most golfers in doors for the winter, “Links
2004” offers golfers a variety of exciting options for play.
Gamers can compete in Stroke, Match Play, Nassau, Skins,
Stableford, Best Ball and even Alternate Shot matches.
Players can also select the player count, course and course
conditions for their match. In
addition, “Links 2004” offers online play via Xbox Live.
Golfers from all over the world are coming together for a round
of golf and “Links 2004” now offers a new “Fast Play” mode,
where golfers play simultaneously (not turn based) and a full round can
be completed in a fraction of the normal time.
“Links 2004” delivers one of the most realistic and competitive golf experiences available for Xbox. As part of the XSN Sports brand, “Links 2004” offers gamers the ability to create and compete in their own online golf tournaments via Xbox Live while keeping track of hard-earned stats on their own virtual sports page, the centralized website XSNsports.com. |
