MLB 07: The Show Review
Mlb07 is a realistic baseball game that focuses more on pitching and batting than anything else.
At first the game might be complicated, I have had it for about a month and still am confused about certain parts. Swinging at the right time is hard to master, but by the middle of the game you get the hang of it.
Graphics 4/5
Graphics are very good. You feel as if you are really at the game. The stadiums look just like the real ones. They probably could have used a few more different crowd characters it is funny when a majority of the crowd is wearing the same color shirt and stands and cheers at the same time.
There are a lot of nice and realistic features such as: your bat randomly breaking on a swing or even the bat flying out of your hands.
Each character seems to have their own batting style and animations.
All the way from disagreeing with the umpire to a crotch fix, this game has it all.
Its fun if you hit the batter too many times in a row, the pitcher gets kicked out and the batter gets quite angry.
Sounds 5/5
Not only does the game have great sounds (even has a cool sound if you hit the batter with a pitch) but there are also halrious commentaries.
The commentators are a strong point in the game. Although there arent many different jokes and insults, they’re still great and takes awhile for them to get old.
Game play 4/5
Although it may be fun to play with a friend the single player game can get a bit boring after a few strikes.
The camera angle is from the catchers eyeview, which makes pitches look even nicer. The pitcher picks a pitch and the batter has an option to guess the pitch, and if he guesses correctly, a red crosshair will appear where the pitch is going to go. Guessing the pitch is quite fun and is almost a game on its own.
A “quick game” lasts about an hour, so by then it can get repetitive.
Multi-player 4/5
Multi-player is exactly like the main game except instead of a computer pitching or batting against you, the other player is.
Just like with 1 player, you can play either a quick match or play the career mode.
Although I’m not a big baseball fan, I must say this is a really fun game. I have had a lot of laughs and hours of fun.
Total Rating 4/5
