3.0 out of 5 stars All-Star Baseball 2000 is ok, October 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Star Baseball 2000 (Game Cartridge)

This game is fun for road trips and vacations if you can't bring the N64 version with you. Although the game is fun, challenging and addictive, the main problem with it is that it takes a long time to change batters as the player is forced to watch the batter run back to the dugout and the next batter run up to the plate after a strikeout. Also when the player gets three outs they have to watch the players run into the dugout. This makes the game take on a rather slow pace. The batting and feilding are fun as a pitcher can select from 8 pitches to throw at 3 different speeds. A batter can hit the ball where they want using the east to use controls. It is a fun game overall because a player can have a homerun derby with almost any player from any team and even have a season and an All-Star Game. I would suggest that only a serious baseball fan purchase this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool Game......, February 6, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: All-Star Baseball 2000 (Game Cartridge)

This game is pretty good. If you are on a road trip in the car I would highly reccomend this game. The only thing that ... me up is that after every season game you have to write down a password. I keep losing my passwords! The graphics are O.K., but every player looks exactly alike; a skinny black player that looks almost dead. One more ... is the player advantages. Sammy Sosa may hit no better than someone like Otis Nixon, you see what I mean? Overall, this game is so and so.

4.0 out of 5 stars An old-school ball game, April 13, 2001

All-Star Baseball 2000 for GBC reminds me of the old-school baseball games from the days of the NES, but it is generally good. Two annoying things with this game: the uniformity of the players' look and the sluggishness of the defensive plays. However, the graphs are good and the possibility of plays is interesting.

A good level of entertainment for road trips!
