3.5/5 ★ – djgirard's review of Super Mega Baseball 3.
Not a homerun, but a solid line drive that bounces off the back wall.
As a big baseball fan, Super Mega Baseball 3 is the first baseball game to really click with me. MLB The Show never really did it for me, I found the mechanics too hard and difficult to get started. Super Mega Baseball 3 mixes the arcade style with some simulation style elements like Franchise mode and advanced player stats. A cartoony artstyle and ridiculous player names add levity and a unique tone to the usual slate of sports games. I did find some of the gameplay grew old to me over a franchise season, especially the pitching which can feel very one note.
Best Bits: Great fielding mechanics | Easy to pick up and play
Worst Bits: Can grow old rather quickly
