Re: MLB Power Pros 2008 Review

I just came across another review for this game -- on GamesRadar. They sixed it

For laughs, go to the Wii reviews section and look at some of the games with higher ratings. Kung Fu Panda?!? The Incredible Hulk? Are you kidding me?

I can see that it might not be everyone's thing, but they're recommending slapped-together movie spinoffs above MLBPP? Probably safe to unbookmark them.

1. You need either a launch unit (20 gb or 60 gb) or the 80 gb unit. 40 gb PS3s don't support PS2 BC.

2. You create a virtual PS2 memory card on your hard drive, it's pretty easy to do via the PS3 menu. If you have a PS2 memory card, you'll need an adapter to copy it over to your PS3.

I bought a Wii again, just for this game alone. Great review Matthew! Spot on with all the pros and cons of this game.

Really wish this game was available for 360 (or even Gamecube!). Sounds great.

I'm hoping for a current gen version next year with slightly more realistic looking crowds (no flat texture and real number of rows of seating) and variable attendance.

Playstation Magazine only gave the game 2 1/2 stars. And I'm pretty sure Game Informer didn't give it a good rating either. It totally baffles me too because usually these magazines are geared toward the more casual gamer when it comes to sports games. I don't know how you can get more casual the the look of PP.
