"GREAT FUN game! Best baseball game on PC of all time!"

WOW! I have could play this game forever! My Dad and me actually play this! I wont tell you his age because then next year it'll change and so on but we both have a lot of fun playing this game. And we only play one mode. Extreme league challenge. This was a great feature added to the triple play series. The object of the mode is to hit hommers and hit targets. The hitting controls are pretty much the same from Triple play 2000. A and up is to use your powerful swing, S and up is to hit normally, and D is to bunt. My Dad actually whoops me all most every time. I have to aim for the Bird ALL the time when we play on the living room stadium, because the bird is worth the most points. Though if you miss and it's a foul ball and doesn't hit anything then it counts for an out. The game is a blast and should be played by any baseball fan. Now let's break it down...

Game play- 7.5
I guess the game play is alright but there are a lot of better baseball games out there with better game play. I don't know really what to say. I usually only play the "extreme challenge" mode. Though I have tried the season mode and unlocked everything on the game. There are actually some pretty nice things you can unlock. There pretty much cheats, so lets call them cheats. You can unblock flaming ball, flaming bat, REALLY fast players, etc. All things that will help you win. They come in use and can be very fun to use.

Graphics- 7
What can I say about the graphics? There good for the year 2001. You can see a lot of detail in each stadium and the players also have a lot of detail given to them. The graphics are good and EA really put effort into that game in 2001.

Controls- 9
The controls are very easy to establish. A is to power hit, S for a normal hit, and D to bunt. I forgot what steal was but I think it was W and the arrow key of the base you were trying to steal. The game is pretty basic; you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out how to play.

Overall- 8
Like I said I have TONS of fun playing this game. I'm pretty sure you could go down to your local Gamestop and they might have this game. Though they might now sense it is 5 years old. Though you could also go on ebay and I'm sure you could probley pick this game up for a few bucks used, a little more new. So if you're a baseball fan then I really suggest you get this game for your computer. I'm not really sure about the specs but I figure that Windows 98 and above are going to work fine. Windows 95 probley not, maybe. I haven't tried. Though if you get this game make sure you can play it you don't want to buy a game that you cant play. Though you could always return it depending on where you got it. Now that I'm done telling you about the game get out and play it baseball fans!
