    A really fun, engaging game. The cartoon-y look and play animations kind of add to the charm, I think. It also takes a bit to get good at it, especially at anything other than the 'normal' difficulty settings. I like that in particular, so you don't have players hitting 5 homers per game. I typically play as the Cubs and my players' stats have been very close to theA really fun, engaging game. The cartoon-y look and play animations kind of add to the charm, I think.

    Overall, it's a great game and highly recommended.    … Expand

    This game is so much better then the previous version. The MLB Life addition, is by far, the most addicting portion of this game. I don't play sports games much, as it has always been too complicated with controls, however, this one is enjoyable and easy to play. It is also cute, but not overly cute that will make you sick.

    This game is awesome if you can get over the people with no legs, no mouth, no nose, and no fingers.

    As with many Wii games, the graphics are lacking in this game. The play is fairly intuitive and engaging, only dragging when you're up (or down) by a bunch. A fun play but not one that you'll get lost in (like similar EA titles available on PS).

    Similar to last year's game with a few minor improvements. My only gripe is that it doesn't have an online mode. If it did, I would give it at least a 9.

    One of the greatest Sports titles to date, more in depth and more content than MLB The Show has today, including the ability to make your own teams to take on the big names. 2 RPG modes, and collectibles (cards, stadiums, and Alternate Uniforms)

    It's getting a bit of a late start considering we're already more than halfway through the 2008 season, but MLB Power Pros is the best baseball game you'll find on the Wii. [Sept 2008, p.88]

    Not much has changed since last year, but what HAS was done so for the better.

    A great sports title and really succeeds because it provides a deep and rewarding experience for serious sports gamers, but it also provides a fun and casual experience for those who just have basic knowledge of the sport and want to have some fun playing baseball.
