GameZone
The sloppy outfield and base controls really puts a damper on the entire game.

Unresponsive computer players and bad camera angles mar what's otherwise a solid setup. [Nov 2003, p.76]
Pocket Games
A weak single-player offering, but a bit better in multiplayer. [Spring 2004, p.18]
Game Informer
The fielding works pretty well, but I haven't seen a batting/pitching interface this atrocious since the Intellivision. [Oct 2003, p.51]
IGN
The expansive season mode, Dream Team option and full players stats are nice additions but they cannot make up for the tedious gameplay.

There are plenty of modes to choose from and the fielding works, but the batting game suffers from inconsistent hits and undeterminable range.

Take me out...of my misery. [Nov 2003, p.101]
GameSpy
Without much control in the outfield or on the bases, the gameplay is reduced to pitching and batting, which is also a pretty weak element.

To be blunt, it's horrible...Its poorly designed gameplay and boring, bug-filled graphics would prevent even the most rabid baseball fan from enjoying what is presented.

A disgrace of a game which has almost no redeeming features. It plays poorly, looks terrible and sounds even worse. In case you hadn't already guessed, we'd recommend you stay well away from the N-Gage's first baseball title.
