    It looks great, and more importantly, it plays great.

    A huge success. With great graphics, hilarious situations, and solid gameplay, MLB Slugfest 20-03 brings fun to a sport that is known for its slow-paced tempo.

    Brilliantly illustrated and animated, flawlessly announced, and a synch to get into, there is little holding the baseballer back.

    Perhaps the best thing about MLB Slugfest 20-03 is how well all the different elements come together to create a game that is both recognizably baseball and something you've never played before. The "extreme" additions work exceedingly well in the baseball setting.

    This one seems to have a bit more "oomph" than its predecessors. [August 2002, p.79]

    It gets repetitive pretty quickly. After playing for a few hours, all the games start to feel the same.

    This marriage of baseball and extreme attitude should be annulled.

    This is the best game anyone could have made. Sometimes baseball gets boring videogame wise but this game gives you all the action you want. This is the best game anyone could have made.

    It's a really fun game to play and the A.I is actually good when you get to play the tougher teams. The Graphics are also really sharp.

    This game gets very repetitive-- I don't understand why this got such high reviews. I can't stand slugfest.
