Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-02-28      Beautiful game, but the fun? Not so much. So..... I rented this game. I am glad I did. If you are considering buying this game, I STRONGLY recommend renting it first. Perhaps I'll be wrong and you'll love it.. but if you don't like it you saved yourself a ton of cash.
First, the good:
The game looks great. It takes advantage of the ps3 hardware and really make it feel alive. I had someone replacing the tile walk by a few times, and he didn't notice it was a game until the 3rd time he walked by.
The voice overs are very well done. They are meshed well to sound like real comments being made by announcers. As you play it more, they will get a bit repetitive, but they still did a pretty good job here.
The Bad:
The Gameplay!!!!
Okay, on to the specifics.
The batting interface with the Sixaxis controller sucks. It is hard to see where a ball is heading ahead of time unless you get lucky with the batter's eye and as a result most will take lots of swings at balls that are nowhere close. It can also get somewhat tiring constantly shoving the controller out.. and you will do it pretty hard if you want to hit homers.
Speaking of home runs.. wow. I guess the game assumes EVERYONE is on steroids, but good lord it is easy to knock it out of the park. Tilt the controller back, time it right, and boom.. gone. This is balanced out by the cpu robbing you frequently and knocking it out of the park all the time itself. Maybe I am remembering baseball wrong.. but I don't remember people hitting home runs 3-4 times a game.
On the subject of robbing: This is the part that just got to me the most because it was so ridiculous. Here was the final straw for me: game 7 of the world series: down by 1, bottom of the 9th, 1 man on. There are 2 outs and the count is 1-2. I got a good line on the ball coming in and CRACK, GONE!! oh wait, the fielder climbs on the fence AGAIN and robs you of your home run AGAIN. This might be disheartening once, but when this is the FOURTH TIME that game that you were robbed of a home run it is just plain ridiculous.
Finally: base management. Stealing bases and moving your people around the bases after a hit is NOT easy. It is doable, but it is a major pain and mistakes are easy to make.
Overall, this was an okay game. But the gameplay.. especially the constant robbing of home runs just ruins it. My blood pressure was higher playing this game than any other game I've played before and I was ordered to take it back by my girlfriend before I broke the controller. Some might enjoy it, but you might want to experience the ridiculousness of the game itself as a rental first before forking over the cash to buy it. |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-19      Too complicated to play!!! Very hard to play , sixaxis mode doesn't work very well, very hard to run with man on bases. No recomended for baseball players beginers. |  | Reviewed on 2007-12-12      Take me to the ballgame... This was a fun baseball game. The game controls is what made it more fun because it was different. you actually move the controller to control certain functions. |  | Reviewed on 2007-08-13      Fun... This game can be a little frustrating at first, BUT once you get the hang of it, it is very fun, ecspecially when playing a season. The graphics are pretty damn good and controls seem to be enjoyable and cooperative as long as you're not using the "six axis" form of batting. Fielding is pretty fun once you get the hang of it and batting is pretty simple. Some people say this game dosn't have all the "bells and whistles" that some other baseball games have, but if you like a good classic baseball game with a just a few fun bonus's like homerun derby, trivia, air hockey, trophies and awards, and that's about it than this is the baseball game for you. |  | Reviewed on 2007-06-19      Great Game I have been a MVP baseball fan for sometime now mostly on the computer with 2005. So I wasn't happy when MVP decided not to make a new one after that. Then came 2K7 this game came with my PS3 and all I can say is that it is awsome. Wireless control is great it is fun to move the controler to swing the bat, and pitching is diffcult without being impossible. The only thing I would like to see is 1080i instead of 720p and optical sound output. Other then that a great game and lots of fun. |  |
