Customer Review: Baseball at it's best
Summary: 5 Stars
Baseball Stars along with its sequel were both classics on the NES and this game is no exception. It doesn't have major league teams or players but it is as fun as you'll ever have with a portable baseball game. The graphics are nice and the animations are excellent for a 16-bit system. It has an easy to pick up and play quality about it that anyone can enjoy. The game has a nice moderate difficulty though one team seems to be better than the rest. It also has an excellent replay value because after you when the championship in league mode you unlock special players and teams. I would throughly suggest Baseball Stars to anyone who enjoys baseball.
Description of Pocket Sports Series - Baseball Stars
Hey batter, batter, batter! Swing into nonstop baseball action with SNK's Baseball Stars for the NEOGEO Pocket Color system. After choosing a team, scroll through your roster of talented ball players to select a pitcher and a batting order. Although all the players and 12 teams are fictional, each slugger comes complete with his own baseball card (featuring a photograph and player statistics).Once a game begins, you can control batting, running, pitching, and base-stealing by using a combination of two buttons and an eight-way directional pad. Want a quick baseball fix? You can play as little as one inning and, if time is on your side, you can tear through nine plus innings. With a connecting cable, you can challenge a friend to your own pocket-sized World Series.
The team members are illustrated with Japanese anime graphics, which are particularly pronounced when a character strikes out or gets smacked by the ball. We got a kick out of the silly team names such as Real Runners, Grooves, and El Condors. And when a home run is hit, a full-on graphic assault kicks in with freeze-frame shots, flashing words, and music. --Carrie Bell
Pros:
- Creative character response to game events such as a home run or strikeout
- Cool statistics sheets on each player, and the option to decide your own lineups
- No recognizable pro players or teams
