Is Baseball Heroes bad?

[T.A.P.]

I've heard mostly negative things about it, but I'd like to get more input from people.

I don’t hate it. It looks outstanding and is fun in short sessions. If nothing else the home run derby is fun. I think it’s worth having, especially if it’s cheap and especially if you like baseball.

I don't care for it, it's kind of like jgkspsx said, it's tolerable in short sessions, but I couldn't play a whole game. Most of the sports game are pretty bad IMHO. I actually like Hockey, though.

 

EDIT: Well, Awesome Golf is really great too, forgot that one.

What about that prototype baseball game, Relief Pitcher?  Is that any good?

I am eager to know the answer even if knowing won’t do me much good.

Game is awful. Even more so if you played Major league on game gear.

It *was* available somewhere.  I know copies were being sold at one point.

Beta Phase made a run, but as with Hot Dog nobody has ever shared the rom. I’m not sure if they made any fixes to the ROM for that release.

I just picked up a copy at the Midwest Gaming Classic, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Baseball Hereos is on the slow side.  If you spend time with it and learn how to play the game, it can be fun.  I think it's a solid B in my book.

I thought it was okay...

Hockey hijack. That's a great game.

But yeah, I can never get into Baseball games. I own Baseball Heroes. Seems better than most. But I still have trouble understanding the strategy here.
