Not a game for hardcore gamers, it's a collection of mini-games that are baseball themed, fun for kids and families that are into baseball.
The graphics are real nice and pleasing and there is a good variety of games and unlock-ables to make you try again to get a better trophy.
Bob Ueker does the commentary which is fun.
Again, good game for kids and families.

2.0 out of 5 stars at least I liked the commercial for Baseball Blast., October 7, 2009

only 2 batting games out of 20, which are both featured on the commercial. the loading times after each short minigame is a long wait. the best game in my opinion is the one called Diamond Double (featured in the commercial above). the game is so short though. you get 9 tries and the game is over. then you must wait a long time for loading to play the game again.
secondly, I connected my classic controller and it didn't seem to work as 2K claims this game to work with the classic controller. third of all, this game also claims to have an on-line mode. I beat all of these boring games expecting to see something. NOTHING! I unlocked a Puzzle. WOW! that was real boring.
I must admit though that the graphics were very pleasant and calming. that's the only positive I can think of. I also thought that it might be fun for a father to get his son interested in the game of baseball, and Baseball Blast may help a teeny tiny bit, so I rated it 2 stars instead of 1.

I bought this game for my 7 year old grandson and he loves it. It is easy for him to play alone or he can have others play with him. Of all the Wii baseball games he has this is one of his favorite.w
