The commentator brings light to this as he always seems to have somthing new to say. There is sarcasm and truth in his voice depending on how you are doing and what your ball has been doing. It is somewhat rare to hear the same things twice in the first 9 holes. 87 MS Golf's interface is, as always, fresh and new and provides the user with very easily chosen menu items that range from Quick Play to Multiplayer using Microsoft's Internet Gaming Zone. Each option is very highly visible and also very relative to the game of golf.
Many options are available including ball size, player type, graphic detail, and sounds.
There are only 4 player types to choose from and a slew of shirt colors, which present the limitations of the game. Weather effects are there including fog and clouds which is something most titles don't have without a 3DFX card. A nice aspect of MS Golf 98 is the fact that it is loaded with tutorials. Just about every part of the game has some information and a small training course designed to help you better play the game. You could also say that Microsoft went with a goal of keeping the game simple, because that's exactly the appearance it gives off.
