Games » Baseball Superstars Review

Baseball Superstars is a cartoony baseball game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This game offers more than just your standard game of baseball by allowing you to create and train your own player and many other interesting features.
The game offers quite a few features. First off, there are 10 different teams to pick from, 4 stadiums for you to play in, and twelve hidden players. These hidden players allow you to do some pretty cool special moves when you?re up to bat or pitching, but you need to build up enough power to use them. The five game modes that you can play through in this game are normal mode, my league, season mode, homerun mode, and mission mode.

Normal is just a pick up game, my league allows you to create and focus on a batter or pitcher, season is a full season of games, homerun mode is homerun derby, and mission mode sets you up against sticky situations that you?ll have to get yourself out of.
The game is a lot of fun and a lot of work when you?re dealing with playing a full game or building up your character. When the ball is in play, you need to direct where your players throw the ball to. Most of the field work is handled for you by the AI meaning you don?t have to quickly select a player and run them under the ball, but once you?ve got the ball in hand you better be on your toes or the other team is going to end up safe.
This app offers a really full featured baseball experience with a cartoon twist. The only issue is that this game feels like a port. Granted the series has been running since 2005 on other platforms, so it is a port, but the numbers next to the menu options just make it feel a little unprofessional. This won?t take away from your gaming experience at all, but it does make you wonder what a little more polish would have done to the game.

Best Baseball game I've played.

This game is quite interesting.
It only had 3 stars on Appvee so I was a bit hesitant at first, and must say that I only downloaded it because I'm a huge baseball fan.
When I was downloading it the other day, it seemed that the review on the appstore were pretty much one way or the other.
Most people said that it was a great game, and the other hated it because there was some kind of bug when making it to the post season. However, that seems to be cleared with the update so I didn't get that probelem.
The game is actually way better than 3 stars in my opinion.  Now, let me give you the detals.

First of all, I love the graphics. I admit that it's not the cleanest graphics, but they are cartoonish and anime-like. Which is good with me. I love these kind of old school graphics. Sometimes I get sick of the 3D graphics that seems to be the only kind on iPhone these days.
Second, the controls. It's pretty good. The fact is, the depth of this game is amazing. You can bunt, steal, special moves(with the hidden characters) and do pretty much every single move possible in baseball - and you do it with 4 buttons.  That's pretty neat.

Third, fun. This game is hands down, fun. If you like baseball or any sports game, you can tell the makers put a lot of though and effort into this game. In the description it says that this game sold 7 million copies world wide, and I don't know why I've never heard of this game before. I'm guessing it's a series that come out every year? Either way, this game is more like a action baseball game mixed with a simulation game. I love how you can increas players stats with training and items.

Forth, Sound. The sound is one part that the game can use some improvements. The not-so-American sound is great, givng it a japanese game feel. However, there's not enough. I would like some background music as well! Maybe on the next update???

In conclusion, this game rocks. It's way more than what I expected and definitly one of my favorite apps now. I haven't been so satisfied with an app in a very long time. Fieldrunner, I also downloaded it which also has 2D graphics and a very nice game play, but it was way too short. By the way, I'm not trying to say that fieldrunner is bad, but the graphics and all is kinda similar to this game :)  Trust me, this game is worth the money. Appvee.com is my favorite site and gives a pretty fair review, but I think this game is way worth more than 3 stars - more like a 4.5
