The best baseball game out there!Jun 03, 2003
By Nate C. this game is awesome! i love baseball take it from me it is an all around great game. cool hits, diving catches, cool fighting!plus you can make your own team and put any player you want to on it. but the best part is, if a player is doing well in a game they can become "on fire". usually it raises all there stats three four or five more up. and makes a high chance of hitting a homer being really fast and strong. i advise every sports gamer to go out and buy this game!good job midway.

Not bad, not bad at allSep 29, 2004
By Modern Fix I am not a sports fan, I am a gamer... and while I used to play little league back in the day, I haven't actually played a 'baseball' game since the Atari 2600. They've come a long way. Real teams and real stats. Which probably gives a decided advantage to those that are familiar with the stronger players and how to best utilize their statistical advantages. Aside from the regular baseball game of alternating pitching / batting, MLB Slugfest adds some flava to the mix. You occasionally get the ability to throw a 'special pitch' of some physically impossible insane screwball, fireball, bouncer, etc that can usually be counted on for a strike. Small menu additions like "Headlines" that show small mock-ups of the 'sports news' as the season progresses add some minimal flavor. And the ability to punch players on base (occasionally causing a dropped ball) is what this Slugfest franchise is all about. And there is a song by San Diego's own Buckfast Superbee that plays behind one of the menus, and that's very cool. Fun and super easy controls, unlockable fantasy parks and `special teams' make it enjoyable for the 'non-baseball' gamer but with advanced tweaks like scouting new players, trades, pitcher swaps and player substitutions, the couch managers should find enough depth to challenge the whole season.

Just a great gameMay 25, 2003
By heather Out of all the baseball games I've played, this one was definitely the best. It had okay graphics, nothing to special, but the fighting twist to the game was really fun. If you enjoy baseball then this is the game for you, and it is definitely worth the money. So I suggest you go out and this game.

Go ahead and take all your anger outMay 06, 2003
By tony Although it is fun to smack other people while baserunning, charging the mound, hard tagging runners, and intentionally beaning batters, it starts to get a little boring. Now dont get me wrong, it is a fun game, but it does lack a little in the game play. Other than that, it is a great game with good graphics and sound. It just could have used a little improvement thats why it recieved four stars instead of five. It is a great way to releive stress. This is a sports game with a little fighting twist to it so if you like fighting games and sports games, this is the game for you.
