A SWING AND... THIS GAME IS GREAT!Review by Anonymous, 2009-08-21
This game is certainly one of my favorite games for wii. You can even create your own fantasy team and play a season! If you love baseball, you won't regret buying this game.
Decent Game

Decent game that I think you should buy. Here are the the good and the bad things about MLB 2K8.
Graphics: 4 stars
The crowd looks pretty good and the stadiums are excellent. The players look good on the field but the closeups are terrible.
Hitting and Base Running: 4 stars
Hitting is exciting but base running is my favorite. It's hard to check swing and a quarter of hits are home runs, but the scores are normal and the statastics are perfect. Base running is fun but read the instructions carefully because at first you make a few mistakes.
Pitching: 3 stars
It's easy to choose pitches but when playing in two player games it doesn't change at all. Aiming the pitches are good but in two player games your opponent can see where it will be. Also when pitching things can go wrong.
Fielding: 3 stars
Not very responsive but maybe it's just me.
I have 4 other games and this is my second favorite.

2K8 Baseball
Review by Corey N. McLain, 2009-05-23
wanted a baseball game for my Wii, but read the awful reviews of 2K9, so I decided to go this route. I rented this game when I purchased my Wii, and already knew that I liked the game, good game with good gameplay.
Not bad - 3.5 stars really
Review by Rob, 2009-05-15
I read the many reviews here and elsewhere and there has been mixed feelings concerning "batting". For me, who played baseball for many years growing up, and from playing in a many softball leagues didn't find batting too much of a challenge.
Not to say it was *easy* but it didn't long to get the hang of it.
The first thing I did was play the "Home Run Derby" which I used as batting practice - little did I know that you can do these tutorials in the actual game which covers hitting.
The one negative about swinging is that you also need to use the nun-chuck. The nun-chuck cord kept distracting me as I swung. I guess I'm going to have to just *deal* with it and get use to it.
Pitching was actually harder for me to pick up than I thought. But after a couple of innings in my first exhibition game I got the hang of it.
Fielding was perhaps the hardest thing for me. Like everything else I just need to play it more and then I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
I wasn't too concerned about the graphics as I was about realism which was pretty good.
I do wish that they had a "practice" option so that you can work on your skills. The closest is the "Exhibition" and "Situational" options.
Lastly, I liked the commentators and the back ground sounds/music.
Overall I liked it.
