Pro Baseball Spirits 4

The first baseball game for the Japanese Playstation 3 continues the popular Pro Baseball Spirits franchise from Konami which features all 12 Japanese professional teams, their respective stadiums, and a control scheme that will be familiar to anyone who's ever played a Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyu (Baseball) game.

When batting, the outline of a bat may be moved around to meet an incoming ball. When pitching to a batter, a pitch selector pops up followed by a targeting cursor which designates the location of the throw. Although the controls are intuitive, gamers who need a little virtual spring training may learn the ropes by going through the 11 exercises in the Tutorial Mode and the 90 lessons in the Trial Mode. Once you've mastered the practice drills, start a Pennant Race where you select a team and play an entire season of games. In addition to a multitude of offline modes such as Spirits, MVP Mode, and the Homerun Competition, players may also compete against each other online to ascertain primacy on the diamond. «more»
