High Heat Major League Baseball 2003 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While i was very dissapointed with last years high heat, this years version surprised me (and yes i do actually own it). Gameplay and graphics are much improved and the announcers voices were crisp and clean. I was also surprised to see that the rosters were also as up to date as they could be (i.e. Juan Gonzalez on Texas). This is also not an "arcade" style baseball game, stats are pretty accurate like real MLB is and you aren't hitting hr's every other ab. So all in all it's a pretty good game, 4 star rating for a lack of "franchise mode", but do you really want to keep playing after 162 games anyways? Buy it and i think you'll be surprised in a good way.

Product Description:
With its satisfyingly realistic gameplay firmly intact, this year'sentry in 3DO's High Heat series cements its status as arguably the best videogame baseball experience available. Graphically, it's better than ever, but whatsets High Heat Major League Baseball 2003 apart from the competition isits attention to the little things that make it more believable and fun to play:hits that are random and rarely appear to fall in the same place twice; scoresthat accurately reflect the caliber of the opposing pitcher; razor-close playson the base paths and at home plate--the list goes on. Add in wide-ranging,customizable player skill levels and game-tuning preferences (everything frombatting and throwing power to error and injury frequency)--not to mention theyear of fine-tuning under 3DO's belt after working out the kinks in lastseason's inaugural PS2 run--and it all adds up to a rewarding experience forbaseball gaming purists.
That's not to say the game is perfect, as witnessed by graphics that could stilluse some work to fully exploit the PS2's capabilities. Especially lacking arethe dugout and crowd animations that at times resemble lifeless gray masses.Certain stadium skylines also lack depth, particularly in night games (tallbuildings behind the stadiums look a lot like their blocky counterparts fromlast year's version). But these are minor gripes when all is said and done. Allthe vitals are still there: season, playoff, and exhibition modes (no franchisemode yet, however); home run derby; batting practice; and, new this year, thetwo-on-two showdown that features a one-inning battle pitting pitcher againstbatter. And while the game's rosters are nowhere near what they'll be on openingday, the create and edit player features will ensure that everybody's favoriteteam can be as accurate as the real thing. --Larry White
