    Even with some signs of the major league’s style of repetitiveness, MLB Stickball is still one for those that have been waiting for mindless baseball fun in convenient, XBLA packaging.

    Traditional baseball-sim junkies will recoil at the ease and simplicity, but kids and casual fans might enjoy stepping up to this plate.

    MLB Stickball is a cute and simple game but its a weak groundout, not the home run it aspires to be.

It seems overly simple at first, until you really start to learn the ins and outs of the game. With such simple pitching and hitting mechanics, it's surprising how much nuance is crammed in them. Nothing's more fun then striking out your friends with janky, unpredictable grounders.… Expand
