Major League Baseball 2K8

"Visually, MLB 2K8 isn't the greatest looking ballgame on the planet, but at least it's faithful to the sport. Players look like the real deal, right down to Todd Helton's ridiculous facial growth and Hawpe's base strut after nailing another home run."

MLB 2K8 is full of new ideas; unfortunately, it's also filled with technical problems.

At the end of the day it’s the lack of authenticity while on the field that really hurts MLB 2K8. Next-gen simulation sports games are gauged by how closely they emulate the look and feel of the real thing and while the new gameplay mechanics do lend themselves to a more true-to-life experience, the presentation and look of 2K8 in motion really hurts it overall. The features are plentiful and will keep most busy for some time, but for this year’s best and purest baseball offering you’ll have to look elsewhere.
