    The gameplay is on-the-money with great baseball that ought to attract Xbox sports gamers and just plain baseball fans alike.

    No other baseball title performs so well in so many departments - from visuals and animation to control and replayability. Clearly, the World Series Baseball franchise has regained the luster of its days on the Saturn.
