Don't have to be a kid December 11, 2006

I didn't buy this for my kid. I'm 24 and I bought this because I liked the idea of having a simple, mouse-driven baseball game to play in boring lecture classes while I pretend to take notes.
Let me just say, if you enjoy baseball games at all, you'll like this game. Everything's been made cute and clean and colorful for kids, but underneath the shiny exterior is a very well made arcade baseball game. You have a variety of players that are rated in various categories, each with their own strength and weaknesses, to draft for your team. The game has a full, continuous-season mode that, while lacking any new rookies or trading mechanism, is still made fun thanks to the surprisingly complete statistic tracking and award certificates (which allow you to unlock new players.) You can make all the basic managerial decisions including deciding what positions to play players at, making pitching substitutions and setting your batting order.
And underneath what is a solid simulation-like package, rests a simple yet deep game. You have full control over pitching and fielding, a 3 dimensional strike zone for hitting, arcade-like power-ups for both pitching and hitting and variable difficulty levels which allow you to turn on and off things like a ball locator when batting.
All in all, if you're looking for an intense, simulation-driven baseball game that captures the feel of the majors, you probably never bothered even looking at this page. This, however, is a fun, arcade-style baseball game that does an excellent job of cutting out the more complicated things while keeping and executing all the essentials. I can't recommend it enough for anyone, no matter what their age.
i love it November 2, 2006

I like Angela Delvechio. i like to hit better than pitch. I love it when Angela comes up to the plate. I like to make up my own charactor.
I just love this game and I like to play it over and over and over and over and over

Simple to learn. Teaches the basics of baseball in an entertaining way. My 6 yr old loves it.
 Fun at First , But gets Boring January 2, 2006
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
After getting the 2003 version of this game I was crazy to buy this version. When I got it at first It was incredibly fun, but then when you play on rookie mode after a while it gets way to easy and you start winning 53-0! I figured it was no problem and switched to pro mode. Same thing happened, first very fun, but then you figure it out and you switch to the highest diffuculty, all star. You guessed it, it posts the same result as the first two difficulties.
It may last you a month of fun, but the you just want a new game.
Or if you want to unlock everything it may add some more time, but after that you may never play it again. I would recommend the 2003 model over this one, but it is only one star better. I am still waiting for atari to make a breakthrough backyard baseball game, and hoping they do it in the 2006 version, if the make one.
