bit-tech Shopping: Take 2 Interactive MLB 2K7 (PS3)

Rating: 6

Time with product: 5 Weeks

Strengths: minimal learning curve

Weaknesses: not very deep, graphics showing their age

Summary: This is my first BB game in this generation of consoles. Couldn?t pass it by for $3 in a clearance bin. I?d say it?s an ok title. Fairly easy to pick up and play. Player control for fielding and batting are solid. Graphics are pretty good for a year old title. Nothing really stands out in this title. It has the standard pick up and play and franchise modes. It?s worth the $3 I paid for it. I don?t know if it would be worth full price.

Strengths: (1) A much improved baseball game over last year's 2K6 (360) (2) Good base-running and fielding control (3) AI is compentent and acts believably (4) Individual player animations are true to life

Weaknesses: (1) There are still some non-realistic AI issues - players always slow down when approaching a base (2) Graphics are decent but some players are still very generic and odd

Summary: MLB 2K7 is a good baseball game that improves greatly over the version released last year on the XBOX 360. The visuals are not particularly state-of-the-art but the animations are believable and there are some nice touches in regards to attention to detail of individual playing styles and signature quirks. The base-running and fielding is done well but not without minor issues. Overall, I believe most gamers will be able to forgive the minor faults of this game and get much enjoyment out of it.

Strengths: fun to play

Weaknesses: subpar graphics

Summary: Since I love to play MLB 2K7 so much, I own several versions of this game, PS3, Xbox360, PSP. As I said in my review of Xbox 360 version, Take 2 series seems to be the best among baseball games. It is fun to play, its learning curve is fast, and its game sounds are so real that its game atmosphere is good to me. However PS3 version has inferior graphics to Xbox 360 one. Even though PS3 version's graphics issues, I still love to play this one.
