Clearly the first impression High Heat makes is one of an ugly girl. It's ugly. Real ugly. But once you get into the game you'll uncover a pretty good baseball game.
It suffers from a limited feature set compared to its PC brother and the visuals aren't state of the art. It does set the standard for realistic baseball on the PS2.
The action on the field is also masterfully recreated with a variety of fly and ground balls that spin, curve and bloop just as they do in real life, not to mention the comical errors that happen when fielders try to reel them in.
A realistic game that has a lot of configurable options and statistical tracking. However... you'll probably be disappointed by the game's lackluster graphics and average sound.
