Can Sega Sports be the King of Diamonds on PS2 as they were on Dreamcast?
Summary: WSB2K3 is a very advanced baseball game made for people who really want to play baseball. This isn't for people who just want to boot up a baseball game a slap a few homeruns around Shea Stadium.
Graphics: The graphics are amazing. From the shadowing and lighting to the character models, everything is done in stunning detail. My one gripe is the faces. They look...milky. Remember "The Getaway's" faces? Yeah. They look good but look weird. And they don't blink. I don't how they can keep their eyes open that long...
8/10
Control: At first, the controls are awkward. But a quick scan through the manual answers your questions and you're off. They become like second nature after an hour of play or so. You'll never know that you had to learn them.
9/10
Gameplay: The gameplay is no joke. You could play a 162 game franchise mode with fantasy draft turned on if you wanted. Thats more gameplay time than any RPG you've ever played. And menu's are easy to navigate. Loading times are no problem either. Very solid.
9/10
Sound: Out of the many good things in this game, sound is the best. Player heckling, screaming, insults, you name it - they got it. Possibly the best sound in a sports game ever.
10/10
Overall: 9/10 (Great)
