ESPN Baseball Tonight

Good luck getting an out


Genre: sports - baseball

Publisher: Sony Imagesoft

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

View is behind plate and doesn't shift when ball is in play. Impossible to field. Throws travel incredibly slow Enemy AI is incredibly stupid. They never chase down or even throw when you retreat to a base, like if you tried to stretch a double to a triple but bailed and ran back to 2nd. If you have two players on base you can advance them every time and in some cases score one without a throw. Totally stupid Virtually no time to swing so you have to commit almost immediately


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Only exhibition and home run derby modes. No season?!


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

MLB but no MLBPA license Team stats make no sense and even seem punitive to certain teams. For example, the Mariners have a left handed CF batting 3rd who has a BA of .227 with 1 hr. Uhh, ok


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Great animation Players look weird. A bit unnatural in their movement


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Decent sound with ok sound bites of Chris Berman


Overall Score: 27

Review ID: 895
