    The game's controls are top-notch, especially the arcade-style pitching and hitting. [Oct 2005, p.99]

    At this point it does seem that Nintendo is milking their cash cow of a mascot a bit much, but as long as they keep the quality of the games on the up and up it's hard to complain.

    Namco has done a heck of a job emulating the sports experience usually provided by Camelot, but those who spent a lot of long hours with previous Mario sports titles can tell that this game wouldn't mind having a bit more polish to it.

    This installment in Nintendo's campain to have Mario play every sport in existence is actually pretty good. Hitting takes some degree of skill, and fielding is fun when your doing it :) That is, its way too easy to hit fly balls, so expect to be extremely frustrated at times. Power hits are a nice addition to the game, and not nearly as annoying as they were in Mario Power Tennis. Overall, this is by far the most difficult game in the "Mario Sports" series, but also extremely fun most of the time. Now when is "Mario Water Polo" coming out?… Expand
