MLB ’06: The Show (PSP) is a Hit With This Critic

Associated Press Writer Tom Zoccolo took a swing at EA’s MLB ’06: The Show (PSP) and he likes! TZ raved about its easy-to-use controls and a wide range of game-play options. He specially liked the season mode where he got a taste of what it’s like be a major league manager with the power to execute a suicide squeeze, send up a pinchhitter and remove a pitcher. “The PSP version I tested has an extremely vivid picture and amazing animation quality. It’s like watching a real baseball game. In home run derby, take your favorite players from any team and go head-to-head against rivals in a super slugging match up. Also, in another nice touch, players’ mannerisms like kicking dirt or jawing with umpires on close plays really give the game some attitude.”

MLB ’06 ($39.99) also includes exhibition and career modes, home-run derby, king of the diamond and an online feature. All that and no steroid-crazed Barry Bonds? That is fun.
