Backyard Sports: Sandlot Sluggers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Good:

*Great cast of charters with different abilities
*Great-looking ballparks
*Wacky Power-ups give the game the arcade feelThe Bad:

*Minor gameplay annoyancesThe Bottom Line:

If you have played this game last decade on your PC, you probably remember the characters Pablo Sanchez, Dimitri Petrovich and Vicki Kawaguchi and others.They are all back.It seems like they have grown up, too.In the PC version they seem to be somewhere in middle school and now they look a bit older,about early High School age.This is also supported by Pablo's ability to speak English(in the last decade's version he couldn't as was clearly stated in his bio.)

The Story Mode involves you making a character and going around other ballparks, beating other teams and stealing their captain before your final challenge of taking on the bully team.The game is fairly shallow in terms of replay value, but because it is a budget value game($29.99 opening day price,) the short burst of fun fits the price tag.

Minor annoyances are sometimes being out on a shallow hit to the outfield and all the fielders seem to have rocket arms.Mini games are also very shallow and quick.

At the end, this is still a good family game, especially if you like baseball.

Attention achievement hunters:Achievements are fairly easy and you should get all 1,000 in about 5 hours or so.

Product Description:
The roar of the crowd fills your ears as you step up to the plate. The pitcher winds up and lets go as you smoothly swing and connect with a satisfying thunk. You fly around the bases as the ball arcs through the air heading toward the edge, hinting at a home run. You slow as it soars over the outfielder's head and disappears onto the street below. Nothing is quite the same as an untouchable homerun, the ball disappearing into the bright blue sky as your team runs up to congratulate you. Your opponents will be embarrassed to show their faces around the neighborhood after a game like this.
