No need to hunt this Easter

User Rating: 9 | MLB 06: The Show PS2
As a owner of both Xbox and PS2. I had a couple of options this year. But with EA's MVP Baseball not being one of them. I had a tough choice this season. Go with 2K Sports, or MLB "The Show." And after reading a number of reviews on this site. I decided to go with MLB 06 "The Show." And boy was I happy I did. "The Show" is a great game. Top to bottom, it's a solid game.

Gameplay - The gameplay is very well done in this game. Both pitching and hitting are very well done simulations. However, I do think fielding could have been a bit better. Especially the foot to arm speed ratio. And what I mean is this. A runner on second should score on a hit to the outfield more times then not. But in this game, Carl Crawford will get gunned down by the fielder more times then not. And by a good 10 feet too...Also, living near Toronto, I'm a huge Jays fan. But Benji Molina is not on this game. Which makes no sense to me. I'm not sure if Sony just didn't bother making players who were real life free agents at the time they setup their rosters. If this is so, then they're lazy and stupid.

Graphics - The graphics won't blow you away by any means. But even still, they aren't bad by any means either.

Sound - The announcers are very good in this game. The crowd noice is well done. And the overall game sounds give a good feel to the game.

Value - This game is $10 dollars cheaper then 2K6. And from what I've heard, and seen. A much better game. Which gives the game great value.

Overall, if someone asked me if they should by this game. I would say, if your a fan of baseball. Get out your wallet, and enjoy playing this game.
