| Baseball Stars is the greatest video game of all-time and easy to play! | 2009-11-24 | 5 / 5 |

The NES Baseball Stars is the number one ranked video game of all time in my book because it is easy to learn to play and it's a different game every time you play against another human. If I had to choose only one video game among all the video games ever created Baseball Stars would be that video game.
Pop Baseball Stars in the old 8-bit Nintendo and you are up and going. You don't even need a high school, much less college, education to play this one. You don't need a strategy guide. You don't need nothin' but the baseball/video game fan desire to sit in one spot for hours with a controller in your hand. It's your team. You even get to NAME THE PLAYERS! It's like having a video game baby. It's like having Kate plus 8 plus one more and you've got a team. I guess Kate plus her 8 would be nine. You could even name your team that and then name one of the players Kate and then use all the kids names as well. I would hope that would be a team people made fun of you for creating though.
You can name one team all of your family names. Name another team after all of your friend's family names. Name the girls team all kinds of CRAZY names. You can even give the team a name and then name each player. You can even change the names of the players if they aren't doing well and maybe that will break them out of a slump. If that doesn't work you can fire that player and then CREATE another player. It's like you are the Dr. Frankenstein of your own baseball team. You can have Obama, Bush, Bill & Hillary on your team. Why? Because you named your players that. Because you could.
The Baseball Stars music is the greatest video game music of all time. It does drive some girlfriends and wives crazy however. If the Baseball Stars music affects your girlfriend or wife in this manner schedule her a doctor's appointment in a town a least an hour away. Drop her off at the doctor's office and leave her there. Go straight home and play some more Baseball Stars. When she eventually gets home and throws a fit, hit the pause button, turn your head slightly and calmly say "Baseball Stars music ain't that bad when it comes with a roof over your head is it baby?"
All those other baseball games have all these multi-button functions and camera angles that take away from the actual PLAYABILITY of the video games. You don't need to see Derek Jeter's face up close. You just name a cartoon figure Derek, Jeter or D. Jeter and then pretend that cartoon is Derek Jeter. It works! It really does. That's what Baseball Stars gives you. Derek Jeter.
After about 12 to 15-years the battery in the game will wear down but you can go to one of those video stores and have one of those whiz kids fix that for you. Don't try to do it yourself. Let one of those whiz kids do it. They don't have to waste time with a girlfriend anyway. They like stuff like that and it gives their lives meaning. The battery in the game just means you can save stuff in the game. You want to do that. It's awesome! |

| I'm 36, and still have my original Game Pak that I bought when I was 17! I wanted to keep those teams intact, while creating a new set of teams with today's friends of mine. I am building up the teams as we speak. In my opinion, this is one of the best baseball video games ever invented. The ability to name your teams and players is easy as it all seems, and goes far beyond your video game dreams. Make up your teams with all of your friends, and the excitement will never end. |

In college my friend and I made teams and allowed a budget (we learned a cheat - "what is a wren?" (a bird) which sure beats using the Lovely Ladies to beam your players a hundred times).
We probably played 30 seasons and chronicalled the results in a legder. Man... we used to LOVE our teams. We'd play for 2 or 3 hours every day.
This game would track all the important stats - ERA, avg, HR, RBI etc (not sure about steals.) Being able to create a team was what gave this game such longevity.
Learning to pitch was more fun than hitting, and my favorite was striking someone out. Just a last minute cut would induce a grounder or pop up. Having a HR hit against you was pain. Hitting a HR was joy. I went heavy on power and my buddy went for hitting and speed. He probably won 55% of the time and that was an honor you wanted to have.
This is one of the best video games I've ever played. It's as fun as Madden.

| The Greatest Baseball Video Game of All Time | 2008-09-16 | 5 / 5 |

Let me repeat...This is the greatest baseball video game of all time. The create a team feature of this game blows away anything I have ever played since. It is so much fun to manage a team fo players that you named after your friends and family (or whatever you want).
Its a shame that Baseball Stars 2 on the PSP is somewhat different. |
