MLB Power Pros 2008 Reviews
| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Best of the (sand) lot, By AndyZ (Tampa, Fl) - See all my reviews = Fun:  This review is from: MLB Power Pros 2008 (Video Game) Revised 4-24-2009After playing all the baseball games on the DS (except for wiffle ball) I have found this to be the best of the lot as a matter of fact one of my fav's of all time. While the graphics are slightly better then minimal, the gameplay is what really shines here. The gameplay is tough (currently on normal mode), however if you really focus on a game you should be able to win most games, but if you take a mental brake during the game you will get carved up by the ai. You will really need to work every batter The sound is ok, but the announcer can get on your nerves, so you might want to turn off that feature.

You can pick up the controls quickly and catch on to the gameplay quick, too. Every game is fun to play because of how good the gamplay is.The main problem I had with the game is the lack of a season mode. There is also no create a player mode. The playoff setup isnt bad, but you have to pick all the teams. |
