Here is my review for the game.
INTRODUCTION
MLB '99 came out in. There is no other baseball like it. MLB '99 puts
you in control of all aspects of the game. The game offers over 200 new
pitching motions and batting stances and with over 300 animations
including home plate collisions, barehanded pick ups, jump and twirl
throws, over the fence and diving catches. This makes MLB '99 one of
the greatest baseball games of all time. MLB '99 is one to two players
and requires 1 to 4 blocks on a memory card.
GRAPHICS
The graphics in MLB '99 are in unbelievable detail. I was surprised
about the graphics in this game. They are so detailed. With over 200
new pitching motions and stances animations MLB '99 is right up they're
as one of the best-animated baseball games.
Graphics Rating: 9
MUSIC/SOUND
There isn't much sound in MLB '99 except for the play-by-play announcer
Vin Scully. There is the occasional ballpark music witch last for only
a few seconds. The only really disappointing part of the game is the
music.
Music/Sound Rating: 3
GAME PLAY
The game play in MLB '99 is unlike that of any other baseball game.
With features like Total Control Fielding and Total Control Batting it
puts the game in your hands. Total Control Fielding lets you select how
you want to field and throw. Total Control Batting allows you to guess
pitch type a location for unparallel bat control.
MLB '99 features six different game modes. The first being exhibition
mode which is your basic average 9 inning game. Season mode allows you
to take a team all the way to the World Series. Home Run Derby is a new
and improved feature for MLB '99. Select 2 to 10 players to see who can
out slug whom. And the newest feature in the game is the spring
training mode. You can create a baseball player and take him through
spring training to earn ability to make him better.
Game Play Rating: 8
*Other Important Factors*
REPLAY
I like to play MLB '99 however I don't like to play it much. Playing a
full 9 inning game over and over gets pretty boring.
Replay Value: Low
CHALLENGE
MLB '99 is pretty hard to play on the veteran and all-star level. The
only challenge is winning the World Series (if you don't get bored
before getting there).
Challenge: Medium
FUN FACTOR
The game is actually not that fun I find it a little boring. If you
like a really like a real long drawn out game that repeats it self than
this game is for you.
Fun Factor: Low
BUY OR RENT
MLB '99 really isn't worth buying. Its great to rent (so you only play
it a few times and don't get bored). There are newer and much better
baseball games out there so go and buy one of them instead of MLB '99.
OVERALL
Overall MLB '99 has great graphics and really good game play but crappy
sound and low replay value. Its a great game don't get me wrong but you
will get tired of the game and want to play a different game. The
challenge is a nice thing about the game. So if you really like
baseball games go ahead and buy it but if you are looking for a fun
game don't pick MLB '99. I gave MLB '99 a 7.
