I was really looking for a decent baseball game that wasn't overly complicated with Wii controls. When I was a kid, I owned "Little League Baseball" for NES and, to this day, is one of my favorite games of all time. The controls were simple, the game play was fun, and it was somewhat realistic. This game isn't terrible, but isn't great at the same time. The hitting controls leave something to be desired as just about every motion of the Wii controller makes the batter swing. However, it's very difficult to hit the ball with any power. The pitching controls are terrible. You have 3 pitches essentially...fast ball, change, curve...which is pretty normal for Little League. However, you really can't locate the pitches very well. The fielding is kind of a nightmare...you don't have a lot of time to react. The mini-games are kind of fun...Home Run Derby is pretty addicting as they give you targets to shoot for. Overall, the 3 out of 5 rating is pretty accurate. I would be interested to see how some of the other mainstream games fair.Read full review
First impression is that my 5 year old son loves it but 6 year old daughter not very interested. A little more detailed baseball game than the one is Wii Sports. Has stats for every player and Brent Musburger(sp?) commentates. He ends repeating himself alot but the kids didn't notice. Graphics are great and great "baseball" sounds. When you are the batter you definitely see a variety of pitches to hit so if your child hasn't played a video baseball game before it may take awhile to learn to hit. They're not unhittable it just may it take awhile. Pitching is the same way in that you can pitch a variety of stuff and not that difficult to learn, very similar in technique to the Wii Sports baseball game. You can get caught running too far once you get a hit so you have to judge if you can make it to the next base or not, you won't stop automatically like in Wii Sports. Will update hopefully as the kids play more.Read full review
Great game. This was purchased for our special needs son. He had the 2008 & wanted something new. This fit the bill.

Plays great! Lots of fun for hours on end! Great value for the money. My childs friend has this game and he paid much more for it than I did. My child has begged me for this game for about three months. I finally broke down and shopped on ebay for it and when I won it, my child jumped up and down with excitement. It is really a great game.
