Major League Baseball 2K8 - Buy

I have always been a fan of baseball games for all the consoles so I was looking forward to trying one out for the Wii. I read a couple of reviews that I agree with now that I have played it. The most important thing is that it is a very fun game. It has season and franchise modes as well as home run derby and all of the normal stuff you come to expect from a baseball game today. I really like the pitching and the batting is isn't perfect but does well considering the equipment they had to work with. One of the flaws which I have read from other reviews is that it is way to easy to hit home runs, even if you have it on the hardest level. I cranked out 5 in a row at one point in my first or second game (although that was on the default level). Luckily, there is a rememdy for this just by adjusting the sliders. You can change the sliders playing on any level. One other thing that might bother some is that there is no online play or downloads for updated rosters. I enjoy just playing with my Cubs in the franchise mode. I have yet to call up anyone from the minors or make any trades (both of which you can do in franchise mode) but I just recently got the game and I am also happy with my players.
