 Can't beat it for the price... July 5, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The best way to sum this game up is it's an advanced version of the baseball that comes with Wii sports. There is what's called "Wii Remote" mode where you can play the game using the remotes to swing and pitch. There is also a Wii Remote HR derby where you use the remote to swing. All the major teams are contained in the game, and there are your typical options for "regular" baseball games as well. If you want a more in depth Wii Baseball game that uses the remote, this is the one! It's not MLB The Show or anything on that level, but it's a load of fun.

My son loves it. There are so many options on it that we have yet to try. Two person mode is a blast! Definitely worth it!

I purchased this game as a gift for my 8 year old nephew. After reading several reviews I was still a little hesitant, but he is a huge baseball fan so I decided to go for it. Now all I hear is how much he loves the game, in fact it is his favorite. I would highly recommend buying this game to anyone who loves baseball, and for all ages.
Incredibly in depth! June 19, 2008

First off, I was never really a big baseball fan. I do love sports games on gaming consoles though and figured I'd give this a shot. Wow, am I impressed! The game is so very in depth with all of the stats and season mode plus a pretty cool "college" mode where you try to balance your life, girlfriend, job and practice.
Apparently this is a port of a PS2 game, but the port over to the Wii seems very solid. I only wish there was more use out of the wiimote besides the limited use it has. Awesome game and a great pick up at the price. Could easily be a full price game.
 A great classic with all the modern perks... June 16, 2008

MLB Power Pros is a fantastic baseball game. Baseball games often have very serious flaws in gameplay that end up making them no fun to play. Be it camera issues, poor animations, or just a lousy pitching interface... but Power Pros avoids all of that mess and provides a well-playing, clean game of baseball with all of the fun stuff packed in.
The player models may look a bit odd (I like to think of it as an update of the classic RBI Baseball), but the gameplay still works. The player models actually do well to lend to the smooth gameplay. You don't expect too much out of the game because they look cartoonish, but what you get is better than any baseball simulation out there. There is the ability to foul balls off or really drive them based off your decisions with a good deal of accuracy... or you can crash into the wall and make the catch (or drop it as a result) as well as the ability to bull the catcher or just make a great slide. But the real winner for me is pitching. Pitching is a blast in this game. If you know what you're doing, and work the corners, you are rewarded with over the top swing-and-misses that send your opposition spiraling into the ground... and it feels great!
I will say, there are SO MANY out of game options, stats, etc. That's not something I can complain about because there's something for everyone, but the menu system is a little dizzying at times and the names to the menu items are deceiving. Also, in some of the game modes, older players may find the game too childish... but bear through it (by holding a button, you can speed through the nonsense dialogue), because overall the variety is deep and very well-done. Stat freaks, they have it all here - more than you'll know what to do with! And for those of us who like to customize (players or teams), they've packed that in as well - right down to the team logos being customizable.
This game is great!
