    The game of baseball is represented perfectly in MLB 06: The Show, and not only is this a candidate for best baseball game of the year, but possibly best sports game as well.

    Graphically, this game is very impressive. The players are very detailed and have lots of nice animations. The players can even get their clothes all dirty. Everything looks and feels realistic and players will actually feel like they are in a baseball stadium.

    Despite not having a few of the features that its PS2 counterpart has, MLB '06: The Show for the PSP is a rock-solid baseball sim and a delight to the senses.

    I was harsh towards the console version, and although this edition shares many of its faults, it's still pretty good. [Apr 2006, p.133]

    This game rocks! I'm addicted. The Chicago Cubs might actually win the World Series on this thing. Isn't that a sign of Armageddon?!? Where's my pants? Man, this thing is cool. I love this game.… Expand

    Solid game through and through. Not as good as it's console brothers, but great for what it is, solid portable baseball.

    This game for the psp has all the things you would ask for in a hand held baseball game. I ve been with the mvp series for a while, but when i found out thet lost the license i quickly made my way toward the mlb series. this game is much like its big brother-ps2, only difference is that there is not a franchise mode, but there is a multiple season mode that, you can play multiple seasons threw. the career mode is ausome. I would definetly buy this game over 2k6 baseball.… Expand
