FreeStyle Baseball2

Introduction 

With globalization penetrating all spheres of the modern society, different national sports for one country become popular all over the world. Big tennis, rugby and baseball can be counted among the most illustrative examples. One of the best arcade simulators of an all-time-favorite American sport is FreeStyle Baseball2 which, apart from the regular single player, has an excellent multiplayer mode. 

GamePlay

Judging by the fact that the genre of the game is described as an arcade simulator, it is easy to guess that the roles you may take up are rather limited. You may choose to be the pitcher or the batter. You do not get the chance to run around bases, position players and earn points. You throw the ball and hit it in turns with your opponent. Every successful movement decreases your opponent's life stamina the exhaustion of which will bring you victory. 

Bottom Line 

Impressed with its masterful graphic design, we thought FreeStyle Baseball2 must be a hit, however, the impertinent donation (mandatory updates of the main character to open new tournaments, equipment renovation, etc.) and the limitations in the gameplay told us it was a regular arcade simulator.
