This game is a fast paced, arcade style baseball game that unfortunatly isnt that deep. Slugfest+Mlb 2k7=The bigs
Before the game was released I heard alot of bad things about the graphics. I mean i think there acually fairly good. The players are big very big. They look like they just came from shooting up in the bathroom. Its cool to see all the muscle textures on them. There is a couple downfalls though. The players and umpires are almost glowing. They have a glowing look to them and its really annoying at times to some people. Also with some of the diving and robbing catches the ball never seems to really go into the mit quite right.
-Gameplay-
The gamplay is probably the best part of this game. Its faced pace, great action baseball and ever a baseball hater would love it. I would compare this game to slugfest almost but just not as over the top. Like i said in the title its a mix between slugfest and a baseball sim. -Sound-
The sound is fairly good but not anything really special.
The best part of this game though is the rookie challenge which basicly replaces the season of a regular game. You start off as a rookie in the summer league. You then can progress makeing your rookie better and even changeing his apperence on the way. For example you can unlock tattos to put on him or pick a song for them to play when he comes up. Another cool thing about this game is the player steals. After you beat a taem you ge the chance to steal one of thier players. This seems like it puts alot of stratigy in the game put it really doesnt because ichiro can hit just as many homeruns as david ortiz. Thats just the kind of game it is. There is also a mode called homerun pinball. In this mode you are in times square in new york city. Basicly youru task is to hit all the signs and windows for points earning various achievments depending on your score. \
To finish it off i will talk about achivments. This is a game where you dont really have to work very hard for the achievments they kinda come to you. As long as you play the game well you should get most of them. I have only really gone out of my way to try to get one twice and that was 2 of the steals ones. So i basicly have got a score of 720 with out really trying. I think that adds a little value to the 360 version. This is a great game but now i do regret a little bit buying it for full price because there is really no replay value at all to the game. Once you beat the rookie challenge you are pretty much done.
