I love baseball very much and I generally enjoy realism in video games, but have found most of the sports games frankly post-SNES to be difficult to get the controls down.With baseball games, for example, I cannot stand having to locate my swing where the pitch is going to be, adjust the power bar, etc etc etc. I just like being able to press one button to swing the darn bat and time the swing well – have the timing be the major factor, in other words. So I do think while realism is important with some genres of games, I much prefer the game being FUN, since it is a video GAME. This is kind of like the baseball version of NBA Jam.SO, that being my intro to this review, this game achieves being quite fun and very replayable. My review is less of any sort of format and more of just “random notes” about the game:First and foremost, you can punch guys. You can sometimes punch guys such that they drop the ball and you can try to steal the next base. You can also punch guys just for fun if you are on the defense. Sometimes you will basically get punching matches which don’t really result in anything other than it is fun and great in a baseball game! Next, you can slide tackle guys. See above for the effects. Lastly, the game has an “On Fire” effect where a player becomes on fire and thus all abilities are hyper-increased and no turbo is used. Like beaning guys? You will find quickly that this may result in the guy you bean charging the mound and sometimes getting on fir.
First things first: this is not a baseball simulation game. It is an arcade-style baseball game and, therefore, is perfect for people who are not hardcore baseball fans (like me). You don’t have to worry about pitch location and bat location on your swing, you simply play arcade-style baseball, which, IMO, is why this game is so fun.The game is not meant to be taken seriously. If you get two hits in a row, you are on fire, literally, and all of your stats increase. If you are the pitcher and you strike out three batters, you get on fire and have unlimited turbo (although it is not impossible to hit an on fire pitcher, it is all about timing). You can bean batters, either knocking them down and reducing their stats or infuriating them and having them charge the mound, making them "on fire," and increasing their stats. You can slide cleats first into a base, punch the 1st/2nd/3rd baseman or shortstop & knock the ball out of his hands, punch people to tag them out, etc. This is not meant to be a serious baseball game. It is an arcade game and, as such, is done very well. If you are looking for a serious game, I have heard that MVP Baseball 2004 if great (I have not played it b/c, as I stated before, I am into arcade-style baseball).The bottom line: If you want a fun game that is not a baseball simulation, pick this one up. It is the type of game that you merely put into the machine and play . . . no instruction really needed. However, if sim baseball games are your.
If you want a baseball game get Slugfest 2004. It is a lot better then last year. The announcing is great. Although they only give you a certain amount of players for home run derby. The fighting makes it even more awsome. Get this game!
I stumbled upon MLB Slugfest 2004 at a thrift store for only a dollar. For a used game it plays very well. The graphics are decent and I would recommend the game to baseball fans.
this game is very very fun i found myself glued to the t.v i like how you can hit the balls everytime you swing the bat the other baseball games are stupid this is the ultimate baseball game its simple and fun very cool if you like baseball get this game
Worked perfectly. Received on time. Absolutely no complaints!
I DID like this game. AND I used is to have some HELLA a lot of fun! NFL Blitz bus baseball! I would pay full price EVEN adjusted for inflation. Worth it
This is not, I repeat not, supposed to be a sim. If you are looking for an extensive franchise mode, or a indepth manager mode this is not the game for you. BUT it is the only baseball game with a punch button. This is the NFL Blitz of Baseball. It is fun it is fast. it is not meant to be a sim. The graphics are great the play is great. But it is not a sim. Its fun and fast. You know what real baseball isnt.
Super fun if you play it as an arcade game. Super hits, pitches and punches. And the home run derby is fun.Plays well as a regular baseball game as well.PS2 classic.
This game was alright at first to me because i hadn’t had a baseball game in a long time. but then it got old fast. this is arcade and i’m beggining to HATE it. its totally un-realistic. you can puch the fielders to make them drop the ball! also, when you are running toward a base and the fielder is in your way you can jump up and kick him! Its really dumb. you can’t trade when you are in a season, you can only play 52 games per-season, and you can’t even choose the pitcher. for instance, if you have the cardinals matt morris is your starter every time, cubs is mark prior, yankees is the rocket, and it really gets old after a while!!! the only thing you can do as a manager in season play is change the line-up (and that doesn’t include pitchers as i have stated before.) sure, it has okay graphics, and the commentary is pretty good, and that is the only reason i gave it 2 stars! don’t buy this game. get MVP 2003, or MVP 2004. They are great! my friend has MVP 2003 and he loves it, and so do I. You can do a real frachise and trade players, and the pitchers automatically have a rotation. it has the best graphics i have seen in a baseball game. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SLUGFEST 20-04!!! DON’T DO IT!!!! Trust me, it’s not worth. it.
