Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
All-Star Baseball certainly lives up to its name. It offers the largest stable of former greats, some 50 in all, and it even offers many of the standouts and stars from the old Negro Baseball League. It's obvious Acclaim decided the best way to deal with the competition is to match it in terms of baseball prowess, but at the same time, outdo it in terms of extras such as a trivia game, stadium tours, DVD content and classic ballparks. There are seven fantasy ballparks in currently baseball-free North American cities, and you can pick and choose from over 30 mascots, making the expansion team options all the more interesting. All-Star also offers a deep franchise mode that rivals text simulations such as Over the Top Baseball.

Baseball lives and dies by the pitcher/batter duel and All-Star has you covered here by offering every option the competition can muster. You can use a cursor system (like MVP Baseball), a timing based system (less realistic, but good for new players), and a system similar to High Heat where you have to watch the ball carefully (most realistic). Each system works but the cursor-based option is below par: the information regarding where and when to swing appears too late. The gameplay has other flaws. Fielding feels soft, unresponsive and slow, and the AI is stupidly aggressive at times, stealing when it shouldn't and slugging when a sacrifice is called for.

All-Star has good graphics--not the best available but very good--and the animations are all smooth and lifelike. Fans can even identify many players by their batting stance alone. The audio is a standout, specifically the commentary, which is accurate, insightful and even includes entertaining side conversations about the rules and quirks of the game.

All-Star isn't quite the best baseball game you can buy for your console system, but, with good gameplay, good graphics, lots of options and extras, and a nice range of hitting options, it offers the best overall package if you aren't sure what you want. --Andrew S Bub

Manufacturer's Description
Enhanced with more than 80 new features and improvements, All-Star Baseball 2004 is the most realistic simulation ever--but it's still easy to play. Choose from 50-plus teams (20 unlockable), 75 stadia and 200 uniforms. Go to bat with more than 110 retired legends--including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Cal Ripken, Satchel Paige, John Gibson and Buck O'Neill.

4.0 out of 5 stars SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!, 5 Feb 2005
By Mr. G. Hammond "nashalot" (Cheltanham, Glouc) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This game was my first foray into the 'All Star' range after enjoying High Heat on the PS2 and loving the VR Baseballs on the Playstation. Ive always wanted to play the EA game but seeing as its not released in the UK (I cannot find it, anway) there is little to compare this with in terms or quality and quantity. This is as good a baseball package as it is game and although it does take sometime to gain the correct setting for each individual (i currently play it on the hardest level but even things out with a 'zonal' batting strategy and no pitcher aids) there is a lot of fun to be gained after the twiddling of the options. Personally, i beleive that the pitching is a little too hard, balls fly at you a difficult speeds to judge and the camera angles dont help either (causing me to allow the AI to take over). But the batting/pitcher interface is second to none (remember I havent played EA's title) and the uniforms and new stadia as well as the faces and physiques of players are also impeccably represented. The game also has many great extra's including interviews with Jeter, Ripkin JR. and genuinley engrossing discussions of the Negro Leagues and players of the past. If I were to have griper, minor ones at that, it would be that sometimes the collision of ball to glove is not always spot on and that awaiting foul balls to drop out of the sky before the 'at-bat' continues can become slow the excitement down. None of the niggly problems detract from the fun to be had, especially if you are a big 'stat-fuelled' fan of the great sport, and you would have to be incredibly picky not to enjoy this in any form.

5.0 out of 5 stars All-Star Baseball 2004 Is The Best Baseball Game On Earth, 23 May 2003
By M. Martin Esq "mattmxl" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After owning both the 2002 and 2003 All-Star games, i was a little bit worried that the 2004 game may be just to similar. How wrong was I. This game has got so much deeper you'd drown. All 30 Major League teams are featured plus an even more in-depth expansion mode. The usual suspects are there with the card collection and season mode, but there is a new "scenario mode" in which Cal Ripken Jr and Derek Jeter tell you about situations that happened in the 2002 season and you have to complete a related "mission" about that scenario. The players look amazing and bear a heavy resemblence to their Major League counterparts. The gameplay uses a similar interface with cursor pitching and batting but the new depths to the gameplay are incredible. The catcher can appeal a swing, players get ejected, it is possible to get a triple without being easily throw out. Playing the outfield is a little bit trickier but it all looks amazing. This game is a must own for any baseball fan. 10/10, top notch, brilliant, tickety boo.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best baseball sim yet, 8 May 2003
By A Customer
The trouble with baseball games is that they can never compete with ither 'American sport' games. They dont have the instant playability of a John Madden, or NHL game, which despite their numerous rules can still be enjoyed quickly.
Baseball games are for baseball fans. Simple as that.
To appreciate this game fully, you have to know the real thing inside out. If you dont big into real baseball, dont buy this, you'll hate it. The fact that every Major League stadium has been perfectly recreated may be lost on the less avid fans.
If you are a baseball fan however, you'll be delighted with this one. Every team is there....every player is there. There's plenty of videos and cards to unlock, you can put yourself in classic situations and try to do a better job than the pro's.
The franchise mode is unbelievable...You can start you own team from scratch, and build it up, while watching your minor league prospects, negotiating salaries, trading, keeping your pitching rotations solid and budgeting for various aspects of training.

On the field you can do everything, and I mean everything. In game you can call up, for example, the batters history against left handed pitchers, and what areas you should pitch to him and countless other details.

As usual with baseball games, the batting interface is damn frustrating to get the hang of, but a few 25-0 defeats by the Devil Rays and you should start to turn it around.

Great game, will last for ages!

Graphics...8/10

Sound......7/10
Playability....9/10
Lastability....10/10
