Review: High Heat

Review by UNCLEDUST | 07/13/2001 | 13:05:01 PM PST

3DO brings its solid baseball franchise to the Game Boy Advance with mixed results.

Impressive on the PS2, 3DO?s solid baseball franchise, High Heat, suffers on the Game Boy Advance. At first glance the game seems rich with exhibition, practice, playoff, and season modes, along with a home run derby. You also have a sharp-looking, smoothly playing pitcher/batter interface?but as you play many problems show through the impressive surface. Season mode is shallow, with no stat tracking besides team records, and the minimal soundtrack becomes more annoying each time you play. Worst off all, there are no difficulty settings, so midway through your season, you?re blowing out the opponent, which severely limits replayability.

It?s sad because High Heat MLB 2002 could?ve been a terrific game on the GBA, yet its lack of depth, bad soundtrack, and easy difficulty level make the game a minor leaguer.
