LS 2000 10-COURSE PACK GOES GOLD
Microsoft
announced today that the Links LS 2000 10-Course Pack enhancement, developed
by Access Software, has gone gold. This means the product is completed and is
expected to start showing up on store shelves in the U.S. in mid-February. The
10-Course Pack features ten championship courses, each optimized for
tournament play with Links LS 2000.
Featuring
sites of major professional tournaments and other popular venues, the new
10-Course Pack features Links LS 2000 versions of Firestone, Castle Pines, Sea
Island, Kapalua Plantation, Kapalua Village, and Bountiful. The 10-Course Pack
also includes Pinehurst No. 2, Entrada at Snow Canyon, Latrobe Country Club
(fall & summer), and the all-new Three Canyons Fantasy Course. Three
Canyons is an 18-hole executive course that’ll challenge even the most
seasoned golfer. Surrounded by three canyons and wrapping around a lake, each
hole will put players’ accuracy and putting skills to the test.
Players
will also experience the thrill of a tournament setting with the Links LS 2000
10-Course Pack. Each course includes the addition of thousands of spectators
along the fairways and greens, ambient sounds, TV towers, leader boards and
more, putting Links players at the center of the action.
The
10-Course Pack has an estimated street price of $20. The game add-on will only
run with LS 2000 or LS 1999, and owners of previous versions of Links and MS
Golf are eligible for a $15 rebate when they upgrade to Links LS 2000. Details
on this offer can be found on the Links LS 2000 box.
Links
LS 2000 10-Course Pack will be available for online matchmaking on the MSN
Gaming Zone (http://www.zone.com), with additional tournament support via the
LS Tour site (http://www.lstour.com).
