Koushien 3 for SFC

Koushien 3

Just like high school - no one scores


Genre: sports - baseball

Publisher: Magical Company

Year: 1994

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Radical departure from the previous game. I'm that one the only hit you'll ever see is a single - and they are easy to get. In this one you'll only get a couple of home runs per game - and you'll never see anything else. Same goes for your opponent. And you can't get on base any other way because 90% of the pitches go for strikes. This one looks a lot better than its predecessor, it is nigh unplayable.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Again, too much Japanese to figure out what options exist. But it's easier to get a game started than the previous title.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Ok I figured out that this is a high school baseball sim. That doesn't endear it to me but now I know why you choose a section of Japan.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Love the artwork. The players all look like skinny kids but they animate very well. Great looking transition from pitching to fielding too.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Much improved sound effects and music. I like the ping of the aluminum bats.


Overall Score: 45

Review ID: 1722
