Oxygen plans budget golf sim

Oxygen Interactive is set to launch a new budget priced PS2 sports sim, International Golf Pro, on March 26th "in good time for the British Masters and the Open". IGP is Oxygen's second sports title following the release of tennis sim Perfect Ace last summer, and should retail for £14.99 here in the UK.

It's described by the publisher as "easy to play but realistic", with a choice of international courses and competitions, that, while they won't bother the likes of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 and Links 2004, should offer a decent challenge at a lower price.

Although we have very few details about how International Golf Pro will actually play, we're guessing it won't be employing the same analogue swing system that endeared Tiger and Links to thousands. Nevertheless, we shall wait and see.
