"All Hail the great BB Sim 1.000!"

Woo-hoo!! What a great game!! SbbSim takes all the features from the NES classic and improves on them to make the best baseball game ever on the SNES! The greatest feature of this game is how customizable (is that a word) it is!!! You can create whole teams, editing every statistic. You can even determine the color of your team's uniforms! The season mode is great because it gives you the option of how many games you would like to play and keeps extremely detailed stats! There are also six great stadiums to play ball in!
Back for fun are the incredible Ultra-Plays, those super-human feats that make this game so original. From 180 mph fastballs to the back breaking missle hit, the ultra plays are even wackier than ever! You could be a wimp and max out your Ultra Play Points and whomp a mortal team, but what fun is that? Going head to head with a strong ultra team is the best! You can even play in outer space--what a fantastic game!

Graphics=8.0 The only thing that keeps this game from being a perfect 10. The fielders are tiny little guys, but they respond very well. The newscaster lady isn't as pointy faced as before, which is nice ( the other one was kind of creepy!)Perhaps a little more eye candy would be nice but graphics doth not a game make! The six stadiums have thier own personalities! I wish more happened when you hit the long ball.

Playcontrol=10* You have complete control over the action here! You can choose ultra plays or not, both styles are a blast to play. You can make speedy runnners, power hitters, strong pitchers, you name it. The icing on the proverbial cake is the amazing list of stats this game records! I like!

Sound=9.0 Very sporty music! The game kicks into rally music when a runner is on 2nd or 3rd base, which adds to the excitement of the game. The only weird thing is the CLINK of your aluminum bat; I thought those were illegal in the majors??! Oh yeah, so are Bomb hits and invisible pitches!!! The Umps have some pretty funny voices too!

Story=n/a SING ALONG--We're talking Baseball (The DingDongs and the Bru-sters) talking baseball (the EYESORE and JDOG and THE SPAZZ; Look at the Speed that TOMMY SERVO HAS) ( Improvised lyrics from my BBSIM game. )

Challenge=N/A-- You make this game as easy or as hard as you want to-- How cool is that?

Overall=9.3 The best Baseball game I've played to date. A fun, wacky look that leaves out all the egos of MLB-Ball players. The game the way it was kind of meant to be played!!

*BRU'S MUST GET OMETER*=9.6 Warning-- may cause high levels of fun!
