Detailed Notes and Screenshots:
Nokia announced several games at E3 2001, as well as giving more
details of existing games. One of these games was Golf. We dont
know much about the game at the moment, but it certainly looks impressive.
It will available, to buy, through Club Nokia in the summer.
From the Nokia site:
Get ready to head to the links and play 18 holes. Fore!
Rules
Three different viewpoints in a 3-D environment that includes bunkers,
water hazards, and rough. Lets you and up to three friends (or virtual
golfers) play a very realistic round of golf. Choose from an array
of clubs; woods, irons, and putters and even select your virtual
competitor's skill levels. Anyone can join the club with Nokia Golf!
Challenges
Our world class course is designed to test how well you can cope
under pressure on the links. In advanced modes our game even simulates
wind variations. And keep an eye on those virtual players - some
of them can play a great game!
