I rented this game and I have to say it was pretty entertaining, especially when playing against a friend. You can bean people, and then initiate fights at any base you like to try to get the player to drop the ball or get the player to step off the base. The graphics are unbelievable for the stadiums and the players are good except for the fact that some heads do not really resemble the players in real life, but this is not a problem at all. Batting is very easy and so is pitching, but the only minor downfall of this game is the fielding. It took a long time to learn how to field the right way and I still make errors all the time. Balls go to the outfield and infield way too fast and it is hard to judge where they are going to land or go until it is almost too late. Once you get the touch with diving and jumping it is a lot easier, but at first it is going to be real frustrating with fielding so be prepared to work on it. I also found the CPU to be extremely hard, even at the very easiest level, when I first started off. The best part of the game, besides the fighting, is that players can catch on fire if they start the game well batting and this improves their batting, power, and fielding skills. My advice to you is to buy the game because it will take a while to get used to the game and there is so much you can do with the game that renting it would not do justice. Plus, make sure you have friends at your disposal to be able to duke it out with, bcuz especially for this game it is way more entertaining and fun than simply playing against the CPU.

This game is the best game I've played for baseball yet... The Fantastic Acrobatic plays and long supercharged home runs are the best. In the park home runs are as easy as doubles as you can run down the catcher and anyone trying to tag you. If you like baseball and have a gamecube this is the game to get!

To really be honest with you, I really enjoy a whole lot of sports classics that have came out for the Nintendo Gamecube. Arguably, there just could've been a little more when it comes to baseball. I see so much more with football classics like EA's Madden, and basketball classics like NBA Street. However, I really haven't seen all that much for baseball. Midway has really changed all that for the better. Since their days creating such wild and wacky games like NBA Jam, and NFL Blitz, they bring more outragousness with out of the ordinary acrade sports games. Now, they have really outdone themselves.

MLB Slugfest 2003 for the Nintendo Gamecube, is a wild and extreme baseball classic. You have all of the great classic teams of baseball like Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, and the Florida Marlins, compete in baseball gone haywire. In this game, the baseball game goes beyond traditional, with wild pitches, and moves where you can have the pitcher actually hit the batter as a option. The graphics are outstanding, as well as all the great stadiums like Fenway Park, The Kingdome, and Shea Stadium, being graphically showcased well. The control is a bit shaky at first with trying to get the right camera angles especially, but it is very easy to actually pick up with a little practice. The game goes beyond ordinary with bonuses like hidden stadiums to unlock, and other attributes. The game also delivers in traditional exhibition, season, and tournament modes.

Even though Midway has really hit it off, it is just a shame they haven't put out a great sports game like this, considering more of them are placed for the Playstation 2, and Xbox. Still, MLB Slugfest 2003, is a true delight for anybody who really loves the world of baseball on the Nintendo Gamecube.

This game is the best baseball game ever. I can never make it through an entire season without getting completely bored but this one was easy. I can't wait until playoff are over to start another season.

When I first tried this game, I really liked it. The graphics were very good. I thought it was a little funny when the commentators talk sometimes before the game. Sometimes the batter might even beat up the pitcher if he gets hit! That was a part I didn't like. The batters will also get fired up if they're 2 for 2 in a game or if they beat up the pitcher. You can even punch the person that's right next to you! I thought that was a little funny. You can even make great diving and leaping catches look impossible. People who like NFL Blitz 2000 or NFL Blitz 2001 should like this game. The three games are similar.

When I first play ed MLB Slugfest I was facing my cousin. I hadn't played the game yet so he killed me! But if you get hit with the ball than if you get mad enough you'll cahrge the mound become covered with fire and beat the pitcher up. When you slide to second try to punch him so that he will drop the ball and head to the next base. If you play this game you will have fun if you like to hit people. This is such a good game I still beg my mom to buy it for me!

If you like insane sports titles, and you don't have 50 bucks, get this game. It's supposed to be the best MLB Slugfest 2003 on any of the consoles.

MLB SlugFest 20-03 offers exaggerated, supercharged baseball action. Featuring real Major League Baseball players, teams, and stadiums, the game puts the emphasis on adrenaline and over-the-top plays. Enormous muscle-bound players take the field and perform incredible defensive plays, including acrobatic diving catches and turbo-powered throws. While at the plate, gamers can dig in and unleash mammoth blasts clear out of the park. The animations are detailed to the point where you can view players on the field chewing gum, talking to one another, and cheering for their teammates. The game sets the tone with an original baseball anthem, "Riot at the Bat Rack," performed by the heavy metal group Dry Kill Logic.

Definetly the best MLB game for all systems. When the catcher is trying to recieve a throw, the runner can kick him down! How sweet is that!
