The game's controls are top-notch, especially the arcade-style pitching and hitting. [Oct 2005, p.99]
Not the most technically advanced game, and if you're looking for all the hardball minutiae you're going to be disappointed. What it does have is gameplay that's easy to pick up, and a great deal of depth for those who dig.

A truly well-crafted game that exemplifies what the term "family game" really means, a game that most ages can play and enjoy together. Kudos to Namco.
Players will wonder what could have been had Nintendo and Namco implemented a deeper single player experience. Where's the season mode? Thankfully multiplayer exhibitions greatly extend the game's life.
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.
It's worth a look as a rental, as you can certainly have a good time with the game over the course of a weekend, but its flaws keep it from being worthy of a purchase.
The controls and performance are too unreliable for non-baseball fans to make this a hit a la Mario Kart, and true fans just won't be satisfied by the troublesome fielding.
A standout party game for GameCube that has a stellar single player mode. Every headline character feels unique when either hitting or pitching, and the supporting cast also shines depending on how to use them
The game has some great mechanics and level design. The chemistry between characters is a great addition and can make a difference when putting your team together. On top of that the different upgrades for players is fun and fits right into the Mario sports style. The different ballparks makes every stadium feel unique without being distracting, you actually want to work on your skills to take full advantage of the parks.
The greatest pro is the single player with multiple hours of replay-ability especially if you play as every character. There is also no reusage of dialogue which makes every play through feel unique as you try to unlock new characters
The only con would be some customizable options like team name, uniforms, and maybe the mini games, but those are not a distraction to the main game

Mario adds baseball to the many sports he’s played, and it might be his best! Like the other GameCube Mario sports games, there is an opening cutscene which is entertaining to watch. At the time this came out, the character selection was the best in any Mario spin-off game. You have the main characters as captains and the team players are all unique and different. Some characters have chemistry with each other which makes you think about who to put on your team. The number of stadiums is a bit low with only six, but at least they are all distinct from one another. The core gameplay is really solid, a bit slow paced but feels totally fine. There is a feature called star skills which needs to charge up but when it does it allows you to do a special throw and it’s a good way to freshen things up. Anyone can use them but the captains have their own unique abilities like Mario’s fireball and DK’s banana ball. This game includes a story mode where you pick one of five team captains and take on the rest of them leading up to Bowser’s team. It’s pretty decent and you’ll have to play through it to unlock everything. The graphics looked quite good for the GameCube at the time. The soundtrack is awesome with many fun tunes, and the menu theme is a freakin banger! There is a “Toy Field” mode where four players take turns batting and earn coins depending what space you hit, and it’s strangely addicting! Each stadium has it’s own corresponding minigame including bob omb derby, chain chomp sprint and star dash. All of them are super fun to play! Once again, Mario makes a basic sport so much more fun and this one completely nailed it with so many different characters and features!

Me gustó mucho la variedad de modos y minijuegos que te ofrece el videojuego. Hay muchos personajes, cada uno con atributos y estadísticas que los diferencian entre sí. Todos estos elementos en conjunto dotan al juego de una profundidad que se aprovecha estupendamente a la hora de jugar partidos. El juego merece mucho más la pena si se va a disfrutar en compañía, ya que los modos multijugador son extremadamente divertidos.

Summary Continuing the tradition started by such games as Mario Power Tennis and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Baseball lets you play in arcade-style baseball. You can clear all the trials in Challenge mode, or sit down for a game in the Toy Field. With multiplayer options for up to four players, wild, character-specific power moves, intense...
