 mlb power pros August 17, 2008
i did buy the older version by mistake and that may be the reason i didn't like the game as much. the teams were a year behind, makes it kinda confusing.....this is a great kids game. some friends brought their kids over the other day while they visited and the kids had an absolute blast with it.....it helped that they were all boys, who liked baseball, but they loved it none-the-less.....a simplified version of baseball with cartoonish characters that incredibly resembled their namesakes! it is a cute game and please don't take my score too literally. i was ranking it as how much fun "I" had with it. i am use to the mlb games and this kinda took me by surprise. you can make it as hard as you want by increasing the difficulty but at the end of the day, you are still fooling around with a kids game. for kids or adults who don't understand the complexities of baseball but like playing video games, this game is for you. for baseball fans, stick with EA sports version or something similar.....
 Best baseball game on the market July 25, 2008
If you like baseball, you will love this game! Very detailed. Although it is animated and appears to be just a "kids" game, everything from the players abilities to the dimensions of the different stadiums, it is extremely accurate. You will have fun with this game. It's very addictive! :)
 Could do much better for the Wii July 22, 2008
This game could have been made much better by integrating the Wii controls into a league/season format. I'm not sure what's the hold up on getting season play with Wii controls. With that said this game is worth the $10-$20 you can buy it for. It's a fun baseball game with many different modes. You can use Wii motion controls to play in one mode, but I would have liked to see them integrate the Wii motion controls into the game more. I hope the next edition does that.
Luv It! July 10, 2008
I'm not a big baseball fan, but this is a fun game. It has dead on accurate controls and plenty of features for everyone. If you own a Wii and like fantasy sports or lots of stats, you need 2 pick up this game!!
Can't beat it for the price... July 5, 2008

The best way to sum this game up is it's an advanced version of the baseball that comes with Wii sports. There is what's called "Wii Remote" mode where you can play the game using the remotes to swing and pitch. There is also a Wii Remote HR derby where you use the remote to swing. All the major teams are contained in the game, and there are your typical options for "regular" baseball games as well. If you want a more in depth Wii Baseball game that uses the remote, this is the one! It's not MLB The Show or anything on that level, but it's a load of fun.
