MLB 08: The Show (PS3)
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Some of the faces are a bit off – Pedroia of the Red Sox looks very scary indeed, like he’s not quite human, possibly some shark DNA in there – but others are just spot on. Sound is perfect, with easily the best commentary I’ve ever heard. Presentation is brilliant, with it highlighting exactly what it should and a superb atmosphere.
I am having trouble hitting the ball, though, as I am in the PSP version. I think I just need practice – and to train my thumb not to slam itself down on the X button as soon as I see the ball leave the pitcher’s hand. I’ve only played four or five innings so far, as the Red Sox against the Astros, so it’s early days. Really wish you could save in the middle of Exhibition games, but the option to do that is only in the season type modes. Not quite sure why, but there you go.
Slight disappointment is that “Allaway” isn’t in the huge list of surnames that the commentators can say, so when I make myself as a player I think I’ll settle on “Wolverine”, which I suppose is pretty cool.
