Out of Eight writes: "It's the doldrums of the annual sports seasons, between the Super Bowl and the start of NFL training camps in July. NASCAR is typically interesting, especially this year since my favorite driver is doing well (particularly for a 50-year-old). Other than that, though, we have to settle for the unending, infinite boredom that is baseball. Of course, things would be a lot more interesting if you were in charge of an organization, setting lineups and conducting trades. Lucky for us it's time for Out of the Park Baseball 10, the latest iteration in the quality text-based simulation series."
If you like baseball and a challenge, Out of the Park Baseball 10 will be your game of choice. Getting past the initial difficulty rewards the player in a way that few other games can.
IGN writes: "Baseball videogames are almost always driven by real on-screen baseball action. Typically that's what gamers want to see. They want their favorite athletes to strut onto the field and launch bombs over the left-field fence at the push of a button. But there's a niche of true baseball fanatics that prefer taking a God-like approach to their videogame baseball experience. Out of the Park Baseball 10 lets baseball managers the world over take the reins of their favorite club (whether it be single-A, double-A, or any other league from past or present) and dictate every aspect of the club. Picture the Owner Mode that you wish every mainstream baseball title had; that's what Out of the Park Baseball brings to the table".
AG writes: Hey! Do you like baseball? Okay, thanks for the answer - but let's try to keep the swearing to a minimum. Here's another question: do you like sports management games? If you answered "No" to either of the above then you're almost certainly not cut out for the niche that Out of the Park Baseball occupies. If you've answered "Yes", however, then you're probably going to be happier than Manny Ramirez on an oestrogen high to hear that, as OotP moves into its tenth innings, it goes way beyond the requirements of regulation play to provide what is arguably the most comprehensive baseball world yet."
