One of the best golf games ever!
I played this game back in the mid to late 90's when it first came out for the Genesis, long before HD, and I recently picked up a Genesis on Ebay & immediately bought PGA Tour I, II, III, & The European Tour. Now the Tiger Woods games of today may look nicer, I believe these games more than makes up for it with pure fun in the game. This entire series is entirely fun to play. I have gotten hours upon hours of use out of my investment. All four of the games I mentioned before (PGA I, II, III, Europe) are fun, but this is the best of the bunch. The menu is a lot easier to find what you're looking for, there are a lot of PGA Tour players, 8 courses, and stats galore. It keeps track of course records, tournaments won, Top 10's, Greens In Regulation, Birdies, Holes In One, and so on. You can even save a replay. It uses the 3 click method, which is you push a button to start your meter, then push again for power, then again for accuracy. There is a lot of information on the screen too, and it doesn't seem at all cramped. It tells you wind direction and MPH, your club which can be changed at any time, distance left, max distance with your current club, and fade or draw if used. You can also let one of the pros give you advice on each hole, and you can look at the overhead view to see for yourself. During your round, if you're in a tournament, they'll tell you if someone is moving up or down the leaderboard, which is very informative especially if you don't want to check out every other golfers stats each round. There isn't really anything I could find fault with in this game. The graphics are some of the best I've seen on the Genesis. PGA Tour III was my favorite game for the Genesis in the 90's, it's still my favorite today, and I believe one of the best sports games of all time for any console.Read full review
