Fun:
This game just falls short of a home run by letting itself down in some key areas. However,it does a lot of things very well.The game boasts sharp graphics ( given the limitation of the wii, but is let down by some mundane commentary and voice overs, the crowd atmosphere is also quite good. It strikes me that its great fun while it lasts, be warned though the game has little long term appeal. Played it last night after a gap of a few months and became bored with it very quickly !!!!
Stadiums look good but lack a little depth. The makers clearly state its an "arcade" not a "simulation", so serious baseball fans beware.
Most importantly it's just fun to play , you can pick it up and straightaway you're hooked.The wii remote control works like a dream and the game is very responsive and smooth.This is wii's strength compared to other consoles it sucks you into the game, even if you're not a diehard baseball fan.
Pitching and batting aretaken to a new level , some pitches however are difficult to master including the curveball, which is a bit hit and miss.
Fielding is also a lot of fun you can flick the remote in different directions, throwing out runners at different bases.
The outfield is a different ballgame however its quite tricky but not impossible to grasp.
Player animations are also very good , they move realistically and react to different situations very well.
The game becomes repetitive after while , certain plays seem to take place too often as if the game is on autopilot.the One thing I didn't like is the power up meter , perform skillful plays and the bar reaches 100% and you're guaranteed a home run every time .It can ruin a finely balanced game but again it's not claiming to be a realistic baseball simulation .
One gripe is the lack of a season /franchise mode, the game will wear thin after while and a little bit depth would be welcome. Injuries, trade offers and detailed stats are missing in this game, they'd add some polish if added.
Hopefully next year's version will incorporate this mode and will give the game a little bit more longevity.There is a rookie mode which allows you to take your created player from humble spring training to the glitz of the world series. Its fun if a little contrived, the mini challenges can also do your head in.
There is also a very big gap between medium level where you will beat the computer quite easily compared to hard level in which you'd be demolished every time , again some sort of compromise which guarantees a more balanced game would be nice.
It does'nt tax the brain too much. It's a solid basis to work from and with several tweaks and enhancements , next years installment could be fantastic. Worth picking up but no long term appeal !

Fun:
After playing baseball on wii sports i was hoping for something more interesting. The game sucks and you have to use the nunchuck. But I guess thats why it was so cheap. Think i'll stick to wii sports baseball.

Fun:
I brought this game when it first came out and at first found it hard but very absorbing, but once I got into it found it to probable the best baseball game I've played. The graphics are very good and the gameplay is brilliant as you can also field and control the runners as well as the pitching and hitting. It's fully licenced which makes a change for a baseball game. Overall I love this game alot more than wii sports as it has more depth and obviously realistic.
