Summary: 4 and a half really
Review: This is a great baseball game I liked it better than Triple Play Baseball and I do own both.It is both cheaper and better than Triple Play and the other PS2 baseball games,so you think what makes this game so special,a lot of things.For striking out a batter you get a special which can be used 3 times.To name just a few Elevator,Heater,Corkscrew and Spitball.A Heater is the same as a fastball,but thrown twice as hard.I think most of you know what a spitball is.An elevator is my favorite pitch(that I have unlocked yet,anyway.)After the pitcher releases the baseball it rolls on the ground but when it reaches the plate it goes where you wanted to throw it.Corkscrew looks like a slowball until it reaches the plate spins around a few times then goes where you wanted it to go.Plus you just keep unlocking more when you strike someone out.Now to the batting,you have a little white symbol shaped like a bat which you move around you see a baseball which is where the pitcher is going to throw the ball.There are four boxes on the right side of what you hope to do with the ball if you make contact:power,line drive which is default,grounder or bunt.At first it is a little hard making contact but in a short period of time you will be getting hits easily.Because the players are kids not pros,they make mistakes often on easy(I mean CPU players)you can beat out a bunt,beat out a grounder,turn a single into a double,turn a doubles into triples into homeruns,which is very exciting.This is what makes the game so great,cool batting and great pitching.Also if you get a double play,you get what is called an undergrounder.It is one of the hitting choices with line drive,grounder,etc.,etc.The undergrounder is very cool, when you hit the ball it goes underground for a while.During this time your hitter runs the bases then when they have touched second the ball pops out of the outfield wall,in the confusion your player is still running,if the opposing team has great defense you will get a triple.If they have bad defense you will get an inside the park homerun.Hitting is overall good.Now to defense,defense is ok but could have been better.You click the ball to get it not very entertaining,but ok.Running the bases is fun click to go to next base.Click a small icon in the upper left corner to steal.Overall the best baseball game I have ever played.A must buy,the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the defense isn't great.

Summary: Great game
Review: This is a great game. My cousin owns this game and the original version(pretty much the same,but no MLB players).You can create a player that looks exactly like you in cartoon version,you can start your own seasons with MLB titles and logos(plus BBL ones),and after any game you can click on the pictures of the players and make them say funny stuff.

Summary: Great game... for the younger kids
Review: this is a very fun game. Great graphics, smooth gameplay, and, as i said, lots of fun! you can choose from a bunch of pros, such as arod, nomar, bonds, giambi, beltran, and sosa. and the backyard kids, like pablo sanchez, dante robinson, jocinda smith, etc. but, as my title says, it's made for the younger kind. The game gets really easy really fast, and on the hard mode with errors off, i beat the other team 44-1. I would borrow it from a friend, see how you like it, and go from there, but don't buy it right away.

Summary: Coolest game ever invented!
Review: This is the coolest game ever. cool graphics, nice way of pitching and hitting! It is just right for kids or teenagers! i know that i will be playin it for a long time. there is only one problem. the runners do run a little slow but every thing else makes up for that!! There are 31 teams to choose from and a lot of cool players. u can even make your own player! there are three things to choose from. season, single game, and online play. which really makes it even cooler. It is the BEST game EVER!

Summary: "We want a batter, not a broken latter" - This is great!
Review: We gave this to our 5 year old for Christmas last year. He loves it. He still plays with it. He and his dad are Cardinal fans so he always picks "Big Mac". The game also helped him learn about the other Major League Teams and players. He loves creating his teams. It is also great that the skill level allows you to start at T-Ball and move on to Baseball. We love the player and crowd comments and animation! We highly recommend this game and plan on getting him Backyard Football this year. (He loves playing the Backyard Football Demo that came with his baseball)

Summary: Most played game my son has!
Review: We have all the backyard sports games. My son has had this one since he was about 5 and he's now 9 and he still enjoys it, which is more than I can say for the dozens of other games he has. I would recommend all the backyard sports games, but baseball is probably the best. Awesome...no violence, nothing negative, just good old-fashioned fun!

Summary: Addictive
Review: When I first purchased this game I instantly fell in love with it. It was extremely addictive. I don't play anymore now because I mastered it. Playing as some of my favorite players (Derek Jeter, Randy Johnson, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, etc.) was terrific. Challenging different people on-line was also fun. This game is fun when you first get it but you can easily get tired of it after two months of non-stop playage.
