DEN: MLB: Power Pros 2008 Review

1
DEN writes: "One of biggest issues I have with Wii games is when no effort is made to give the console an experience that is actually designed for it. This year's installment of MLB Power Pros is just such a game. If you picked up last year's baseball cum chibi animation, you know what to expect. Newer players will likely be drawn in by what seems to be a perfect marriage of Nintendo's overly cute world, and licensed sports games. Of course once you figure out that this is just the usual baseball action, there isn't really any reason to hang around. The Bigs showed off the power of the Wii for baseball games, and then there is N's own Mario Sluggers. MLB Power Pros 2008 could have bridged the gap between the two and made something of itself, instead it's an off and cute game that tried to meld that into charm."

I was never much of a baseball game fan- So when I was given MLB Power Pros (last years) for a gift it sat around for quite a while before I ever played it. It turns out that MLB Power Pros is probably the most in depth Baseball game ever made. You can play the kiddie mode and waggle but be warned that your just playing in the kiddie pool. This year MLB Power Pros 2008 came out and I had to have it. The controls are laid out well with no waggle, unless you play in kiddie/waggle mode, in season mode is impressive as you are not just playing with the team but also have to be the GM (Trades, roster changes, double switches, sending players to the minors, have them practice a different position, change pitcher's arm angle and many more options) . This game is truly a must buy, the graphics are cute/unique and the ball parks look very good. I am completely shocked that this game didn't get a score it deserves.
