Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001

High fives all around for High Heat's developers. They have done their homework, and it shows. The essence of baseball is right here.

With a lot of the other sports games I play, it seems that the game gets too easy at one level of play, and if I try to increase it, the game becomes too hard. All of that goes away with High Heat baseball. In the game directory is a file called Tune.txt. With this file you can fully customize the game level to the way you want it. It will keep your games consistent as your level of play increases. This excellent feature has allowed me to keep interest in the game much longer than any other sports games.

Im Tausch gegen eine durchschnittliche Grafik und Klangkulisse gibt's Langzeitspaß und Spieltiefe en masse. Dank zahlreicher Detailverbesserungen und des neuen Battling-Trainingslagers lohnt sich der Kauf selbst für Besitzer der Vorjahres-Fassung.

That said, there are some inexcusable bugs in the game which detract from the experience; such as problems with the fatigue modelling and some scoring errors. The good news is that 3DO appear to be supporting the product with patches already in the offing to address these and other issues. The inclusion of an auto update utility also makes patching a painless process. But why should gamers be expected to suffer shoddy initial releases?
