The best Baseball game on the Speccy. I am not a baseball fan, but I love this game! Even though I think it doesn't really follow the rules well, I mean they got the foul ball rule incorrectly here which will give people reason to bash the game, but still it's a very playable and enjoyable game.

Competent baseball game, with the usual caveat that the fielding is unfun and throwing the ball to the correct base is nigh-impossible.

Well I have to say it's a well programmed game with a lot of detail put into the look and presentation of the game, but the gameplay itself though provides more questions than answers. Comparing this the World Series Baseball it's streets ahead in terms of quality but I couldn't help but notice that when I hit a foul in WSB it counted as a strike, and in here in doesn't. Also, the fielders are a bit arse and won't actually get the ball when you want them too most of the time, then when the catch the ball in the air it doesn't count as an out. There is also a way to exploit the throwing to get an easy out, which is to move to the very right and then aim to the very right some more, he will swing his bat but not be able to hit it. However it only works if the batter is facing the right of the screen, if he's facing the left he'll still hit it, and the sound of the ball when it is hit is quite something too. I do like the presentation in the game and it was fun to play, but there's too many inconsistencies in the gameplay to give it a higher score. I feel that the non or novice fan will enjoy will the avid fan with loathe it, I'll choose to be inbetween on this occasion.
