BASEBALL STARS 2

Lace up your cleats and step onto the diamond with the pros of BASEBALL STARS 2. You’ll find everything you’d expect in a classic game of baseball, but with an arcade feel and intense action that distinguish it from the pack. Pick one of six unique teams from cities around the world, then get ready for nine innings of excitement, whether you’re taking on the computer in a 15-game tournament or squaring off against a friend. There are two modes of game play, so even the most inexperienced player can compete at the major-league level (with a little computer-aided fielding). Watch as the game develops through split-screen views and close-up shots worthy of any highlight film, and see if you can catch the numerous over-the-top animations of the large and detailed player models. Think you have what it takes to win the pennant?
Players: 2
Cost: 900

this game is nowhere near as good (read: realistic/in depth) as the old nintendo version, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun. the action is incredibly fast-paced, and i think the character splash screens make the game stand out.
the graffics, like most neo-geo games, look like they came straight out of the arcade. here, so does the gameplay. that said, you can bunt, you can steal, you can fake a pitch and throw over to first base… what you can’t do is create your own team, which is my absolute favorite thing about the nintendo version.
until that one show up on the VC, or while you’re waiting for MLB 2k8, check out Baseball Stars 2 for some fun baseball action. FIGHT!
