BobBobMar 28, 2009this rating system is flawed. post all reviews for all games of every platform to get the real scores, not the ones that the owners of this site like so they can have an effect on the end score. this in no way deserves to have the 2nd highest rating ever.

JohnVMar 9, 2008Bland and boring to some, great to others. I for one felt like i wasted my money.

GManAug 14, 2009I appreciate that this is game to be marked under its own merits but the fact remains this is NOT AND NEVER WILL BE the 2nd best game ever made. Its very appearance in the top 20 is an insult to gamers and creators alike.

MrBearSep 23, 2009Note that Gamespy gave this game a 100...
Also not that gamespy gave ES3 - oblivion an 80.
Thats a random boring baseball sim, a perfect score,
and the second best rpg ever created (morrowind being #1), receiving an 80...
Anyone starting to wonder about...
A). Gamespy's legitamacy?
B). This game's legitamacy?
C). Meta-critic's legitamacy? -

SkeratarB.Jan 11, 2008This game can be a good one in its own category. But there is no way that it can be better than many of the greatest games in PC gaming history. I think this is biased.

mobiusAug 4, 2009boring game. and should be taken out of the top rated list on metacritic, just because it only got 5 votes means that it sits at no2 in the all time greats. metacritic should only allow games that have been reviewed by at least 10 different people before it stick it up in the heavins lik they have.

ValVJan 12, 2010Honestly, this isn't a good game. It simply isn't fun. Doesn't deserve to be better than the orange box. Orange box has given me litterally hundreds of hours of entertainment for £30. No contest.

johnsJun 17, 2009This game, while an interesting spreadsheet app, is not a game. Futhermore, it cannot be view upon as even encrouching the same plain as such greats as bioshock, oblivion or eve sailor moon. Baseball isnt even that fun anyway.

Jul 25, 2011Number 2 PC game of all time! Ridiculous. A game should require more than 5 reviews to make it onto the metacritic listing. This game is horribly boring.
-
Jan 17, 2011A sports game like this getting tied for the greatest video games of all time??? with Bioshock and Half Life? Are you serious? What on earth happened here?
-
JoeB.Aug 4, 2007This game is less fun than clipping my toe nails.
-
-
JackS.May 26, 2007Cookie cutter graphics, and game play. was bored within an hour. no replay value. waste of money.
-
-
BruceD.Oct 12, 2008Wow, this game does not even compare with the others that are on this Top list... This game entry should be manually edited to reflect reality. Since I've actually played this game, I'd give it a rating of 3/10, but it's getting a 0/10 as this rating system is ridiculous.
-
-
JohnWDec 5, 2008This game is terrible, and should NOT in any way appear in this list. This game has only got this position, and I mean ONLY, because of the frigging 5 reviews it has received. NO GAME can receive this position along with Half-Life 2 because "5 reviews" said so. This should be get AWAY from Metacritic. Nobody knows about this game, this game definitely do NOT deserve this position.
-
-
JohnnyAnonymousDec 26, 2009I had never even heard of this game before this site. It's blows. They say the reviews are weighted, and calculated. Hmmmm... maybe they should FIX the formula. Want an ACCURATE rating? --gamerankings-- search it.
-
-
Jan 28, 2011I fail to see how can this game get perfect critic when it fails to provide fun after the first minute. Seems that SI made some fishy deals to get this game up. Anyhow, a complete offense to game makers and players alike.
-
BenjaminKDec 15, 2009This might be a great game, but simply caus of the 5 critics this cant be #2 folowing hl²...
-
-
JasonMowersMay 17, 2009I don't care how realistic this game is, because if you're not a fan of baseball (like me) there is no way you could enjoy this game. It's a shame that you see it in the 2nd place of "Best PC games of all time" as it is nowhere near it and actually GOOD games deserve this spot.

AdamS.Jun 3, 2007Same thing we've come to expect from run of the mill baseball games. Ok for your average fan, but no one else will find this appealing nor fun beyond the first game.
-

HarrisonF.Jan 5, 2008Generic unfun game, does not deserve to be in top 5.
-
-
ShakeN.Feb 3, 2008Wow thats lame, i think someone hacked the server and put the under 20 scores (all 5 of them) in the 100 category. disgraceful, and stupid. 5 reviews..... absolute crap. This game beats bioshock, half life , halo 1,2,3, and Fable. Absolute sh*t.

DavidGApr 29, 2008No simulation capability and very boring. Strat-o-matic and older board games are far superior. If the makers come up with a workable simulation game based on "real" players, maybe the game would be better.
-
-
PhilT.Jun 18, 2008Buying this was a major mistake - fans of (American) baseball need only apply - for the other 99.9% of people, steer clear.
-
-
AndreiM.Sep 30, 2008This is a bad joke, this game cannot be compared to Half Life saga. How could you put it in the 2nd position of all time games??? I never heard of it, neither my friends.
-
-
GregLMar 3, 2009This isn't a game, it's a spreadsheet with pretty graphics. The 'game' content here just doesn't compare to the other real games in the top 20 list. It's easy to make crap like this but making Half-Life 2, BIoshock or even Quake is much much harder. Take this spreadsheet down!
-
-
ScryerJul 27, 2007Another sim, not creative at all.Why is this the second best game ever according to metacritic? This is just like the top movies, with superman II being on 2nd spot. Theres some flaw in metacritic scores when theres too few reviewers I guess.
-
-
DylanROct 4, 2008It doesn't matter how "good" this game is. It's a baseball sim, and it pollutes the high ranks of the PC games. It's high up due to a fluke, only about 5 reviews that were high.
-
-
JamesT.Oct 7, 2008It's a decent enough baseball simulation but the lack of sound totally ruins it for me, i'll go back to wii sports baseball purely for the smash of the ball.
-
-
IanS.May 28, 2008I have no idea how this can be included among the classics such as Half Life, Half Life 2, The Orange Box and Bioshock! How did this happen!?
-
-
MichaelR.Jun 29, 2009This game does not deserve to be with the likes Diablo, Quake and Half-Life. When metacritic decides to get some more realistic review scores attached to this game, I would be more than happy to do the same.

Mar 11, 2011After playing this yawner of a sports game I had come to one conclusion: Payola can only explain the 100 percent reviews for this piece of junk. The interface is crap, the graphics mediocre and the actually game play is like eating dry toast. Just awful.

MarkR.Aug 20, 2007I don't believe how this game made it to top 5 games for pc. This game is both boring and annoying. I'd rather be cleaning my front yard then playing this game.

Feb 9, 2014what a waste of money and time, not only did I not enjoy this game in the slightest but it's metascore is suggests it is a well made game. I now know otherwise, and I strongly recommend you stay away from this game.

Dec 6, 2014How the hell did this get such a high score from reviewers? Did they actually play it?
Fiddly controls, crappy visuals, weird gameplay. Only pay-to-win could make this worse! -
Jul 16, 2014A sports game like this getting tied for the greatest video games of all time??? with Bioshock and Half Life? Are you serious? What on earth happened here?
-
May 21, 2011What the hell is this doing in the best games of all time list. Critics really need t o stop getting bribed, and the system should take user reviews into account, as they're the real reviews.
-
Jul 2, 2013I am giving this a zero based purely on the principle that to be on the top of Metacritic's list as the best PC game of all time shows how ridiculously broken the system is.
I have even played better baseball games than this on PC let alone the other 99.99% of games out there.
Pathetic system that I lost any faith in when I saw this at the top of the PC list. -

Jul 16, 2013This game was meh for its time but overall a boring game with a super over rated score. No way does this game deserve 2nd best PC game. A MAJOR insult to PC gamers and Developers alike. Psht
-
Jun 2, 2014A good game ? Maybe. A game that deserves to be the 2nd best game ever made ? Certainly not. Just because of 5 critic reviews, this game is overrated.
-
Aug 30, 2012Seriously? Second best PC game ever made? I can think of hundreds of better games, without even barely scratching the surface. I'm surprised this is even in the top 1,000, much less the top 2.
-
Jul 11, 2012Metacritic, sort this out. Having this as the 2nd best PC Game ever is ridiculous.
The fact it's rated so highly, makes your site/rating system look flawed. For pro reviews, there should be a minimum of 10 entries, any less, then it's a niche anyway.
Infact, surely there should be some kind of degrading system as time goes by. -
Mar 27, 2013Worst base ball game I have ever played.....almost as if no thought was put into it at all. MLB is waaaaay better than this piece of steaming crap. Do not buy
-
Nov 25, 2013This is not one of the best games ever created by man. Around this game are greats such as arkahm city and gtav and bioshock and goldeneye Metacritic sorts your balls out, booiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
-
Mar 1, 2012Someone obviously payed "professional reviewers" money to give it such a score. It was boring. It wasn't even up to the level of the EA MLB series. It probably deserves maybe a 5 but the reason I'm giving it such a horrible score is because the user score needs to outweigh the overrated joke of the professional score
-
Jul 16, 2012haha no.
This game does not deserve his score. Do not play it. A few fanboy critics are the only people who reviewed it, and anyone who is not a fan of baseball games will hate its guts. This needs to be taken down from no.2 of all time.
Now. -
Oct 9, 2011Baseball getting 96% are you **** me???? I was a fan of old classice like hardball on the Amiga back in the day when swinging a bat and hitting a ball was considered gameplay.... but nowadays it's probably one of the most boring sports to make into a video game. Seriously need balancing scores.
-
Aug 4, 2012One point awarded for probably being a good sport SIM. Nine deducted for being worthless for the rest of us that want to play a game and have fun.
I simply cannot understand why this should be even close to the top 100 in an all time list of PC games. -
Jun 17, 2014Did the critics get paid for writing the reviews or did the game developers just kidnap their whole family and hold a knife on their throats? Probably both.
-
Mar 31, 2014How the hell does this have such an excellent score. I mean, seriously!? 96 is a critic score it shares with HALF LIFE 2. It does not deserve to be called equal to Half-Life. Ever.
-
May 5, 2015The fact that this game is on the second spot of PC games is just a prove that press has no idea of rating games. Yeah, it's pretty decent. But in any way is it better than Bioshock, PoE, or Portal.

Jan 13, 2019Что-то уж слишком все ху*во и уеб*щно,а так же гнусно,паршиво,ебл*иво и вообще еба* я ее...

If you have any interest in the guts of baseball, OOTP 2007 is simply a must-own product. It's a landmark achievement. It's weird to think about it: It took a London-based company known for its soccer management games and a German-born developer with a passion for the sport to produce arguably the best and most complete simulation of America's Pastime.
-
Anyone who's ever dreamed of running a professional team in some capacity, or anyone who enjoys fantasy baseball, baseball board games, or similar products, will absolutely love what OOTP 2007 offers. Any criticisms of the game are merely trivial; in the end it comes down to this: This is the best “fantasy” baseball gaming package ever created.
-
AceGamezOut of the Park Baseball 2007 is not a perfect game, as it lacks the human touch that fills baseball and its general manager positions, but there are so many aspects that it digitally replicates with excellence that this doesn't matter.
