MLB Power Pros 2008

The Worlds Most Adorable Baseball Game

Let's get one thing straight first: This is perhaps the cutest baseball game ever designed. It's also one of the deepest on the market today. Unfortunately, one factor (it's cuteness) could prevent fans from finding it's other feature (it's depth), which would be a real shame. MLBPP2k8 is the best baseball experience on the Wii, and I'd call it the possibly best available today.

While the game features the standard exhibition and season modes, it's the unique modes that set Power Pros apart. The Success mode it a fun RPG style game, with you leading your player through AA and AAA, trying to reach the majors. Betasim, a notorious anti-sports gamer, found great fun here, which should tell you about it's appeal. I, on the other hand, grew into the MLB Life mode, which is slightly less RPG-like, but allows you to take a player - either an existing pro or a created one - through their 15 year career. It's dynamic and fun, and I really enjoyed seeing how I could do from game to game.
