Major League Baseball 2K8
SCORE: 93
Long time members of Family Friendly Gaming Nation know that we will go back and fill in the gaps. If we missed a game in a franchise here or there we look for opportunities to include them in future issues. When we are introduced to a new franchise we go back and check out the history of said franchise.
The Major League Baseball 2K games have been very flawed lately. In fact the narrative was all set up to show how this franchise has been messed up for many seasons now. Proverbial cellar team so to speak. As I played the Wii version of Major League Baseball 2K8 something happened. I realized this is a really strong baseball game. This is one tough sports game. This is a competitor that families need to take notice of.
Major League Baseball 2K8 looks great and it sounds great. Don’t like some of the music? Then just turn off that song in 2K Beats. The commentators are absolutely awesome. They were interesting, helpful, entertaining, and they felt very real. I was not expecting that from this older sports game. I found numerous songs that I enjoyed listening to in this game as well.
The graphics in Major League Baseball 2K8 are exceptional. Especially for a game this old. Remember I played the Wii version which should have the worst looking athletes. From the fields to the stands this feels like a baseball game. I was just missing the smell of hot dogs and popcorn.
I love the
controls in Major League Baseball 2K8. My arm actually got tired from
pitching. This is another layer of realism that families can embrace.
Major League Baseball 2K8 includes tutorials to train you. Those
tutorials can be skipped if you want to learn on your own. Major League
Baseball 2K8 is one of the best baseball games on the Wii.
