Koushien 3

Just like high school - no one scores

Gameplay

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

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

Theme

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

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

Audio

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