EA's highly customizable golf series moves to the Playstation with PGA Tour 98 . Players can choose course conditions, whether to use special rules like mulligans, and even how much your caddy will assist with setting up a shot. With commentary by Ernie Johnson Jr., up to four players can play various play modes such as Skins games, Four-ball match play, and Skills Challenge on five real locales. The power and accuracy of one's shot is determined with a timed meter, which can be represented with a traditional vertical bar or a more realistic arcing meter.
The gameplay in PGA Tour 98 focuses on precision and strategy, as players must carefully plan their shots to achieve the best scores. With multiple playable characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, players can choose the right player for the job. The game also features a variety of obstacles and hazards that players must contend with, adding an extra layer of challenge to the gameplay.
