Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball

I don't know if it Hurts, but it's not very good


Genre: sports - baseball

Publisher: Acclaim Entertainment

Year: 1995

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Stupid AI. You can always get out of any rundown. Have the devs ever watched a baseball game? This is the first game where I've stolen home. Feels like playing an FMV game. Animation are crazy long so you have to swing long before you thing you should. Incredibly slow gameplay. Pitchers take time between pitches to wipe their brow, play with the ball. All kinds of stupid stuff. Takes forever There's a long pause between hitting the ball and switching to fielding view as if there's loading time. Very distracting Pitching is a slog. It takes 4 button presses each time to throw a single pitch. And opponents pretty much hit everything. Uggh


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Lots of modes. Exhibition, season, and scenario.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Generic player licensed game but with an MLBPA license too?! The players even have recognizable stances in some cases


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Incredibly detailed artwork and animations. However, animation comes at great cost for the gameplay which feels stilted


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:


Overall Score: 40

Review ID: 930
