"Fantastic"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Remember Wii Sports. It had Baseball. It was fun but it was a little hard to hit the ball. Well now you can get the bigs, you may be asking is it worth a purchase…the answer is a resounding YES!

This game has great graphics and the gameplay is easy once you figure out the different pitches etc. Batting is done by holding the wiimote and aiming with the nunchuck and then swinging the wiimote. Sounds diffucult? It isnt. Hold the nunchuck at arms length and you will have no problems with it. Holding A increases your hitting power as well.

Fielding is a hit or miss concept though. Too often the players will jump and dive when you havent really moved the nunchuck. However to make your player sprint all you need to do is make a running motion with the nunchuck and wiimote and then throwing to bases is simple. Its the d pad on the wiimote.

Pitching is alot of fun though. Aim with the nunchuck stick and then then hold the wiimote overhead whilst holding A to power up and then release A on the downward throw.

You can also accumulate points by stealing bases, getting three strikes and running to first base which when your meter is full can be used to unleash a monster hit or pitch. Awesome. Fireworks explode when you hit it at glass or buildings : )

This is the best sports game on the wii at the moment in my opinion, dont be fooled by EA's offerings, 2K knows how to make a great sports game.

Takes a bit of getting used to but it is a great game And lots of fun

"Great Fun" Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a must at only $5.00 for any baseball/softball fans. Adults can get tricky with their pitches but the kids can throw and hit just as easily. Great fun for all.

Children really had fun once they began to get the timing right. A great leveler as adults had ‘issues’ too.

Graphics are a bit dated but apart from that a very fun game. After a few warm up games and a read of the controls I was right into it.

My only worry is that with al the excitment that the remote will end up in the tv screen. Great game for those with a competative spirit.

"This is a real great game."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is alot different from baseball on Wii Sports, it is much better. You can make your own player and become a pro and there is plenty of other things to do. Its great, you can do big homerun hits, steal bases. Its very realistic. Should buy expescially for Wii.

Great game – much different to wii sports baseball – controls take a bit of getting used to first few games i struggled against the computer but got the hang of it after a while first innings pitching 36 runs against, great graphics, music and commentary pretty good, excellent buy at only $29.95, why not add this to your collection

"Great Game"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Well it looks a great game, but it takes a little time to get used to playing it (learning how to play with wii remote & nunchuck together) . At first it was complicated but I worked out how to play it… and it is a very good game.

So it gets 4 stars – loses 1 star due to complication of control at first.

Worth buying it!
