Rating: - Great Basseball
This game is really great. If your you are a fanatic of the baseball games, surely you enjoy it. The only detail is that they do not appear the Humpires and that I do not like much. For that reason, For that reason I do not give 5 stars him.
Rating: - Great Baseball on the Go!
What's great about this game? I can't actually play it on the go. A lot of psp games, really aren't pick up and play games. The Show is, which is awesome. It only takes a few minutes to get into a game, and if I don't finish, no worries. The power save feature is fantastic. I don't have to turn on the game, and remember what I was doing. This game offers plenty of modes, although I'm dissappointed there isn't a franchise mode.
The game looks great for the PSP, PS2 quality imo. It runs smooth most of the time. I've been playing this game for months, and it still has me coming back for more. It doesn't seem to get stale. The worst part for me is during RTHS it's hard to see the ball at first if you play the infield. So reaction can be a little bit slow. Overall this game provides me with endless hours of fun on the go, anytime, anywhere. Great game for baseball fans on the go.
Rating: - BEST BASEBALL GAME YET
MLB 08 for the PSP is a very fun and exciting game. One thing that is great about this game is that when you play homerun derby it is alot easier to hit homeruns then it is in the other baseball games. For example in MLB 06 the game you have to time it perfectly hit a homerun and it can get really annoying. But in this game, all you have to do is wait till the ball comes to you and then hit it and usually it will be a homerun. Also the gameplay in this game is great because the contorls are easy and it makes the game very fun. The graphics on the other are the greatest I have ever seen because the people stil look like dots and the character models coul be better. But overall I think this game is great and fans that like baseball games should defenately get this game so I am giving it a 4/5

Rating: - Great game with just one glitch
The game itself is great. I just have one small problem that creates a big problem during the gameplay. When you perform a double switch it freezes the game. Now, let me go into farther depth on that. It will not freeze when you pinch hit for the pitcher and then bring in another pitcher for that pitchers spot. It will however freeze when you pinch hit for the pitcher and then leave the pinch hitter in the game at a different position and sub a new pitcher in for the spot the pich hitter was taking (hope this doesn't confuse anybody). That has happened to me twice in the late innings, The first time was fine, but I was hoping that the next time I did it that it was a one time thing, but it wan not. I make sure that I dont leave the pich hitter in anymore. Overall though, it is a really good game.
