The evolution of sports games: good or bad?

I kinda think that the evolution of sports games is bad. Besides the graphics I think that what their doing with sports games is dumb. I know this isn't a fact but an opinion. My opinion. I might not say what everybody thinks. But I just want to get my opinion out there. So please just hear me out as I explain my opinion on this matter.

Good

The sole good thing is the advancing in graphics. The graphics have definitly improved. This makes the game better looking and polishes it up. But the graphics only help if the game is good. Which is what I'm getting to next.

Bad

The game. The whole game to me. The game makers are trying to hard to make the game realistic. The fastball is actually really fast. So it makes it tough to hit. Not to mention that you have to watch for balls and strikes. It gets extremely annoying. Hopefully EA and other game makers will realize this. So to me its a problem. I liked the older games and the wii games because how much easier it is to hit the ball. So thats my opinion. Leave a comment of your opinion.

Thanks for reading!

Backyard Baseball '10

Backyard Baseball By Atari







This game is a great follow up to the many Backyard baseball games before it. I have been a long time fan of the series and this game just proves why. The series is updates its game annually and with great games with plenty of game modes. I actually was surprised on how much it had added in two years. I definitely think that the game is worth buying. It has plenty of hours of game play and makes a good time with friends. I will take the game in stages so the review can be its in its fullest form.

Characters

The characters detail is great. Its obvious that plenty of work was put into it. The characters involve major league superstars and to show their creativity they made their own characters. The characters they make are great to they all have their own stories. They actually differ in statistics! They make new ones and bring back the legends. They're called the Backyard Kids. You can make your own backyard kid too! You can choose how he looks and choose how well he does in different areas. Its great. Then the other characters the real MLB people are called the pros. It has great players with great detail. One of the new features that I like is to get some of the great players you have to unlock so its an added challenge. Not to mention that it makes it easy to pick teams. It categorizes them for what there good at. Its extremely convenient. Just All in all a great design of the characters.

Field of Play

The Playing Fields really show the games roots. With normal suburban places to play on with touches of creativity. The fields are well designed. The graphics are pretty good on the backdrops. This impresses me to think that they can put this kind of detail into a game in a year time period. If it wasn't already obvious by the cover this game is aimed to look cartoon-ish. So don't be expecting to see any kind of attempt at making it realistic. Not to mention that there's a good amount of playing fields. This side of the game will not let you down.

Game-play

The one player game play truly is great with three different types of game play. The first is quick game. Quick game allows you to start a game immediately. Unlike the other two modes. It picks your team for you. That feature can be annoying when you get into the game because sometimes it doesn't pick you a very good team. All quick game is is basically randomly picking everything for you. Like the field, the teams, and the players are picked for you. This feature is for the not very patient gamer. The next game mode is season. In this game mode you basically do what the title says play a season. You choose your players from the character selection I talked about earlier. After choosing players you choose what team you want to play for. You can choose from major league teams or from the backyard teams. After deciding on a team you can adjust the settings for the season (difficulty, innings, etc). Throughout the season you can trade, play, and sign new players as you go. This makes it have a much more empowered feel and puts you in the manager position. At the end of the season you are able to play a tournament. You are placed by how well you did in the season. This game mode is for the hardcore sports gamer. The final game mode is tournament. Its basically the same thing as the playoffs in the season mode but with a different look. Not to mention that you don't have to go through the whole season first. You have to go though the same drafting process as season and basically the same kind of tournaments. So this is for the casual gamer. The multiplayer allows you to face aginest your friends. You go though a draft process. Nothing of huge change. So that sums up to be a pretty good gameplay.

So after reviewing the game I think that Backyard Baseball 2010 gets a 8.9. out of 10

So here is the rundown

Pros

-many game modes

-good design

-great for kids

Cons

-loses its steam fast

-doesn't span to many

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves By Naughty Dog

Uncharted 2 has got to be one of the best games ever. Its exclusive to PlayStation. This game is one of the big pointers on why PlayStation 3 has better games. This game has three of the most prestigious awards its kicks ass. It got The Game Critics' best of show award, the best of E3 award, and the Best PS3 Multi player from IGN ( international gaming network). IGN and E3! Both are the best of the best! Not only does that say something but it totally blows most every game out of the water. It also comes from Naughty Dog, which happens to have made tons of hugely popular games. I'm sorry but just the honors of this game would make me want to give it an amazing review. Think about it, it comes from a veteran producing company and it has huge awards! Why wouldn't you want to buy this game. This game doesn't fail expectations at all. So lets get in to the review shall we.

Characters

The main character is Nathan Drake a treasure hunter looking for the lost fleet of Marco Polo. Accompanied by Chloe Frazer you set off on your mission. You met an old friend on this adventure who tags along. This friend is Elena. The antagonist is Zoran Lazarevic. Also their are other characters such as Sully, Flinn, and Jeff. The characters are very well thought through. They have very interesting stories and make the game very interesting and devastating. The characters really draw you into the gameplay and I think that Uncharted 2 perfected it. Characters: A+

Plot

In Uncharted 2, Nathan Drake gets an intriguing offer about finding the lost fleet of Marco Polo. To get a vital clue you break into a museum. While there you are betrayed by someone unexpected. In order to get revenge and find this illusive treasure you embark on a journey. Meeting old and new friends along the way you come faster and faster towards the treasure and the dark truth behind it. The plot is amazingly put together. Every thing is clear and the cut scenes are magnificent. The story is appealing and draws you closer to the characters. With enough twists and turns to make a rollercoaster jealous. It is just plain and simple a great campaign.

Plot:A+

Settings

The settings in this game are amazing. One look at this game and you will agree. With some games the backdrops aren't really thought of when thinking of key aspects. With Uncharted thought the backdrops are definitely a key aspect. These backdrops play a part in the game. Every setting matters. They made them blend with the story. Also they are jaw-dropping. There just amazingly designed. Truly a sight of its own. From a intriguing museum to the wild ruins of shangri-la, this game never let up. I believe you will love them too. All in all, the settings are great.

Settings:A+

Cut scenes

Cut scenes like the settings are amazing. Don't skip through these cut scenes because they matter. Seriously they are amazing. Not only to they have great voice talent but they're beautifully designed. It makes the game seem like a movie. It truly does. The casting was perfect. The designers did a fabulous job. Some of the big turning points of the story in these scenes. So definetly check them out.

Cut Scenes:A+

Gameplay

The gameplay is great. With its great range in difficultly levels you can play it if your new to shooters or if your a veteren. Also with and exceptional online mode, you'll be with this game for a long time. The gameplay in the campaign is fun but tricky. It can be easily frustrating, for there are a lot of puzzles that are really tough. But not to worry the intense action comes in a lot so that the puzzles don't cover the majority. It truly though is a great gameplay. It also ranges from being sneaky to running for your life. In this case where the great story comes in so does a great bunch of gameplay. Not to mention the great online gameplay. With different playable characters. It makes for a lot of fun. All though gameplay is not as great as mw2 it still is amazing. It also comes with some great maps.

Gameplay: A-

Bonus Material

The Bonus material includes new maps, and a new type of gameplay. Both great at low prices. The new gamemode is phonemenal and addictive. Not to mention the fact that it also works with the new maps which are my new favorites. Always watch though because new ones are still coming.

Bonus:A+

The Rundown

Pros: The great gameplay with the great graphics and story make for a beautiful game. With an ok online gameplay. It sums up to be a great game.

-graphics

-story

-gameplay

-characters

-bonus material

Cons: The only thing that isn't great about this game is, it needs to get a little better online gameplay system. Thats the only thing.

-tweaks some online

The final score is a great game getting a 9.8 out of 10. I would definetly recommened this game. New posts like Infamous coming soon. Also you might want to vote on the poll because of its ending soon.
