5.0 out of 5 stars The best baseball game out there!, June 3, 2003

this game is awesome! i love baseball take it from me it is an all around great game. cool hits, diving catches, cool fighting!plus you can make your own team and put any player you want to on it. but the best part is, if a player is doing well in a game they can become "on fire". usually it raises all there stats three four or five more up. and makes a high chance of hitting a homer being really fast and strong. i advise every sports gamer to go out and buy this game!good job midway.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: MLB Slugfest 2004 (Video Game)

I am not a sports fan, I am a gamer... and while I used to play little league back in the day, I haven't actually played a 'baseball' game since the Atari 2600. They've come a long way. Real teams and real stats. Which probably gives a decided advantage to those that are familiar with the stronger players and how to best utilize their statistical advantages. Aside from the regular baseball game of alternating pitching / batting, MLB Slugfest adds some flava to the mix. You occasionally get the ability to throw a 'special pitch' of some physically impossible insane screwball, fireball, bouncer, etc that can usually be counted on for a strike. Small menu additions like "Headlines" that show small mock-ups of the 'sports news' as the season progresses add some minimal flavor. And the ability to punch players on base (occasionally causing a dropped ball) is what this Slugfest franchise is all about. And there is a song by San Diego's own Buckfast Superbee that plays behind one of the menus, and that's very cool. Fun and super easy controls, unlockable fantasy parks and `special teams' make it enjoyable for the 'non-baseball' gamer but with advanced tweaks like scouting new players, trades, pitcher swaps and player substitutions, the couch managers should find enough depth to challenge the whole season.

Out of all the baseball games I've played, this one was definitely the best. It had okay graphics, nothing to special, but the fighting twist to the game was really fun. If you enjoy baseball then this is the game for you, and it is definitely worth the money. So I suggest you go out and this game.
