MLB review:
989 Sports has never been known for having solid sports games on the market and the fact that they have developed the first baseball game available for the PlayStation...
MLB review:
With baseball season in full swing (ba dum bum), fans wanting to take America’s pastime on the road really have only one choice this year: the PSP and MLB. 989 Studios has put together a thrilling, dynamic portable version of its console big brother, and what’s even more impressive is just how much of the game they managed to shrink down onto the handheld. There isn’t currently anything that looks or sounds as good, and the gameplay zips along with great control, player AI, and the option to simulate part or all of an entire season. The game loses some features from the console version, but this just makes it easier for anyone who’s into the sport to step up to the plate and take a swing.
MLB review:
Overall, I have not had the chance to play a final build of MVP, but I do know what both of these games offer. While 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. It still plays a great game of baseball, and for most, that is all that matters. -- Brian Peterson
MLB review:
Thankfully, MLB has the same solid gameplay found in MLB 2006. The pitching element uses the release-point scheme found in MVP 2005, although MLB’s meter is a bit more difficult to read. You simply select a pitch type and location, charge the meter for power and then press the button again for accuracy.
MLB review:
MLB is a shining example of a sports game not only working on a handheld, but actually holding its own with the big console systems. If you love baseball and want to take your game on the road then MLB is the obvious (if not only) choice. Even when something eventually does come along to challenge it, 989 has set a very high bar for baseball simulation with MLB.
