89It is well rounded, filled with features that you wouldn't expect in a handheld, and it is a blast to play.
-
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.
-
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.
-
85The pitch meter from the console version made its way to this one, and the added degree of difficulty does a good job of keeping you on your toes, especially in those tough spots, when everything moves just a little faster.
-
84More of an inside the park home run than a blast out of the park, but still, it's the one to beat next season.
-
83For those diehard baseball fans who want to take their gaming on the road and lead their favorite team to the World Series, you can't go wrong with MLB for the PSP.
-
83MLB may stumble a bit rounding first, but it easily makes the turn at second and barrels into third with big league-style graphics and intuitive gameplay.
-
A shining example of a sports game not only working on a handheld, but actually holding its own with the big console systems.
-
83It's a great 'show off' game for the PSP.
-
82It has enough gameplay modes to last a while, plus the pitching/batting mechanisms are variable enough to make the pitcher/batter duels a little bit unpredictable.
-
81It's nothing revolutionary, but for a launch title it serves its purpose-portable baseball befitting any plane ride or waiting room.
-
80Retains the playability, but not the depth of its PS2 version.
-
80Does good by its PS2 brother, and that's exactly what we were looking for after being so knocked out by the comeback of the PS2 edition. It's a fast, exciting and great-looking game of baseball.
-
80The PSP game mostly has the same great gameplay, gorgeous graphics, and sublime commentary the PS2 iteration has.
-
989 Sports has done a bang-up job bringing its flagship sports franchise to PSP. [June 2005, p.136]
-
Very close to being a revolution in portable sports gaming. The gameplay is the best I've seen in this year's baseball titles, and the graphics all but equal those of the PS2. However, a complete lack of all the features we have come to expect from a modern sports game means that apart from exhibition games, MLB just doesn't have the depth to stand on it's own.
-
But what it does have is an extremely solid amount of gameplay supported by two well-developed offensive and defensive control schemes and an engaging amount of baseball to appease just about any sports fan.
-
A scaled-down version of "MLB 2006" for the PS2. Some might even call it inferior and they would be right since it's missing a few modes, options and details.
-
80An excellent baseball experience, and it's a full $10 less than "MVP Baseball" from EA Sports. Hard to go wrong here.
-
80989 Studios may have had to axe some graphical nuances and memory-intensive play modes (namely the mega-deep franchise mode) from the PS2 version of MLB 2006 in order to cram it onto the PSP, but everything else was brought across relatively intact.
-
80It's the respectable hitting that makes all the difference. With solid action at the plate, MLB becomes the best handheld baseball game on the market. That it's also the best-looking doesn't bother us one bit.
-
80Ad Hoc games ran particularly smooth, but the Infrastructure games had the occasional hiccup or two. In these games, lag would occasionally cause my batter to swing late (if at all).
-
80A nice debut for the line on the Sony PSP. It has its needs for improvements but what you get here is still a focused and thrilling game of portable baseball done right. And you can't really ask for more than that.
-
75You'll see random errors too frequently on routine plays. [July 2005, p.88]
-
Great graphics...Unreliable controls. [July 2005, p.79]
-
67While I still prefer MLB's game play, the wealth of options and visual flare that "MVP" is bringing makes Sony's game a bit stale.
