European Tour is essentially a revamped version of the original game rather than a completely new installment. It showcases five different golf courses located in various parts of Europe and features a roster of 60 talented European professional golfers, in contrast to the predominantly American lineup of the original game. The graphics have significantly improved, displaying more intricate details and vibrant colors, thanks to the progress made in programming skills over the years.
The control system remains the familiar three-click method commonly used in most golf games. However, now players have the ability to specify the desired draw or fade levels before taking a shot. This means that if you have a precise aim, your shot will have a calculated effect, while a less accurate aim will result in an amplified effect.
In addition to the Stroke Play games found in the original, where players tally their scores across all 18 holes and compare them to their opponents, European Tour also offers two new game modes. The first is Match Play, where the objective is to win as many individual holes as possible. The second is Skins, which follows the same principle as Match Play but involves money as well.
