100Other baseball games might have a more unique feature or two, and several absolutely have better graphics, but only High Heat delivers such consistently riveting gameplay.
-
The key to Hight Heat 2004, and the reason it already ranks high on the list of my all-time favorite games, is that it's the best bargain in games. A full 162-game season will last you about 90 hours. [Apr 2003, p.94]
-
3DO made significant improvements to the graphics, Gameplay and menu presentation. Perhaps the biggest improvement was to the pitch types, especially the movement on the various types of fastballs. [Actual Score: 90 - 95]
-
90Still the best baseball sim there is. [Apr 2003, p.65]
-
If you compare HH to the rest of this year's baseball crop, there's no contest:... High Heat triumphs by focusing squarely on gameplay. [Apr 2003, p.111]
-
90Not flashy, but it more than gets the job done -- the Jim Thome of baseball games.
-
The game play is top notch and the graphics got a great upgrade.
-
85Although it hardly branches out into an altogether new baseball experience, this game is a real blast to play.
-
81Basically unchanged with a few recognizable additions and accuracies to a sport that only the passionate truly enjoys, this title's illustrious career isn't quite over.
-
81A sequel that warrants an upgrade for owners of last year's game and a second look from prospective players who were turned off by the series' formerly unyielding adherence to a simulation design.
-
80Playing this is the closest videogames have come to perfectly re-enacting the mind duel between pitcher and batter.
-
70It's still the best game for hardcore simulation fans who don't care about visuals. [Apr 2003, p.38]
-
The bar of excellence has been raised to a staggering new height, and High Heat doesn't even come close to touching it. [Apr 2003, p.83]
-
Unlike other companies that concentrate on visuals, High Heat puts its energies on the fundamentals that make a great baseball game. [Apr 2003, p.71]
-
A solid baseball game that grows on you the more you play it, thanks to the great computer AI and the deceptively simple batter-pitcher interface... Yet the new graphics, sound, and menu navigation are still not up to the level the PS2 is capable of.
-
60These improvements to the graphic engine come at a price. The frame rate slows down whenever multiple players are running the bases, and it experiences noticeable hiccups during the batting sequences.
-
58The animations are far from being fluid, and the PS2 version of High Heat suffers from some severe slow downs during gameplay.
