Pro Yakyuu Star for SFC

Pro Yakyuu Star

Precious Moments baseball


Genre: sports - baseball

Publisher: Culture Brain

Year: 1997

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Not bad, not great. Hitting is fine, but pitching is not good. A, B, and X each throw a different speed of pitch. Holding up or down controls the height of the pitch and left and right obviously control movement. Controlling height is a novel idea but in practice doesn't work. You can't effectively do both the height and the movement. Nice idea but prolly executed. My main complain is the dumb AI which throws to the wrong base, moves all players at once, and takes terrible paths to the ball. The result is far too many triples. But again, not a bad experience. Just a bit strange.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Like all these SFC exclusive baseball games this has the Japanese League license. The menus are in Japanese but aren't too hard to navigate.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

The players look like those precious moments dolls, but without mouths. Kinda creep


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

This game will not shut up. Announcers talk constantly and a super annoying song plays far too much.


Overall Score: 56

Review ID: 1803
