MLB 08: The Show

"Little nitpicks, such as players' scary eyes, the aforementioned clipping issues and some animation hiccups keep the game from scoring a 10, but none of those problems hurt MLB 08's chances of being 2008's greatest baseball game. Sony did a magnificent job creating a user-friendly sports experience, so take the mound and pitch that no-hitter. A World Series championship awaits."

"MLB 08 is the best baseball game on the market, and the best sports game of this generation. For the first time since NFL 2K, a sports game is a must-buy for any console owner."

For the third year in a row, SCEA has delivered an excellent baseball game in the form of their Show franchise. While the PS2 version doesn't innovate nearly as much as it did last year, it maintains its quality with some minor adjustments and enough creative touches to keep PS2 owners engaged. Baseball fans that haven't moved to the portable arena or to the PS3 will definitely want to check this game out.
