Jack Nicklaus 5
The Jack Nicklaus series of golf games adds several new features and updates.
A new MouseMeter control system is designed to feel more like real golf than
the more traditional 2-click and 3-click systems which are also provided. The
action can be viewed from anywhere on the course, although some views are more
suited to action replays than actually taking aim or playing a shot. Ball lies
are not always flat in this edition.
This one offers nine Jack Nicklaus courses and a specially created course for
the game that is similar to Pebble Beach, as well as an online facility to
download over 100 more. CBS’ Gary McCord provides a running commentary. The
course includes a number of 3D golfers that the player controls. The course
designer, a mainstay of the series, has been enhanced for this version.
