  1. It is well rounded, filled with features that you wouldn’t expect in a handheld, and it is a blast to play.
  2. Plays great and the graphics do look amazing on the small PSP screen. The fact that it also has some nice features as well as online play saves this game big time.
  3. It is the best handheld baseball game I have played. This is due in large part to the easy pickup and play nature of the game.
  4. Great graphics...Unreliable controls. [July 2005, p.79]

    Great graphics with decent commentary. The detail on ballparks and players is perfect for this great handheld game.

    Playing against the computer works great, but weak AD HOC and infrastruture mode are horrific and slow. Not even worth owning if these modes remain weak! If I hear MVP AD HOC mode works fine making the switch for sure. Expand
