MLB 07: The Show for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Presentation: 8/10

Presentation is a high point of this game. Replays and cutscenes look great. Looks like you are watching a real baseball game.

Graphics: 8/10

Character models, Stadiums and the Crowd looks great. The field (grass and turf) needs work though. No framerate/slowdowns problem with this game.

Sound: 8/10

The soundtrack is good. Most importantly, the commentary is great. It gets repetitive after a while but listening the trio feels like you are watching a real game.

Gameplay: 9/10

Gameplay is the strongest point of the game. Hitting feels natural. Fielding is easy to get used too and you will not overun the ball because the camara is great. Pitching is great too. Your catcher gives you good suggustions most of the time. Road to the Show is a big leap forward for this franchise. It is far improved from the original career mode. Franchise mose is also very deep.

Overall: 9/10

Pros: Many elements of the game are life-like. Gameplay including pitching, hitting and fielding is very strong. Franchise and the RTTS are great additions. Replays/Cutscenes look great, commentary is stellar.

Cons: No Homerun Derby or the old King of the Diamond mode. Graphics in terms of character models could use some more work though.

This game absolutely blows 2K7 away. The only thing 2K7 wins is the graphics, because they are amazing, just the gameplay sucks. The Shows gameplay is excellent, you can actually score from second on a base hit to the outfield. I found myself having a career and a franchise going. I think my wife is filing the divorce papers now. It's consuming all my time, this game is for real!
