Aside from some lackadaisical outfielders who take forever to react to well-hit balls, the gameplay is fast, fun, and simple. It's funny, too, although the commentators' goofy anecdotes become repetitive. Luckily, multiplayer action shines--it's always a blast to vibrate your buddy's controller via the Taunt button after belting another pitch over the fences, fust don't expect High Heat-style complexity.
There's no doubt that SlugFest delivers a good time-- as the arcadey alternative to this season's baseball-sim glut, it offers rollickin' two-player fun. Taunting your buddy after he blows a big lead which will happen is great, and the over-the-top showboating and exaggerated animations capture a competitive spirit the serious MLB sims lack. But that's not enough to cover the annoying control flaws, like a frustrating running game and spotty defense, especially in the outfield.
If you're looking for a solid one-player game, look elsewhere. But if you're dying for a rock-em-sock-em multiplayer experience, SlugFest is perfect for a double header. Midway gets things together on time this year with the release of MLB Slugfest Bringing back the high intensity, over-the-top style of baseball that many have come to associate with Midway, this year's release comes out simultaneous to other baseball games hitting the market instead of months later. That may be enough to tempt some fans who are looking for more of an arcade style of baseball then the ultra realistic baseball many other developers are producing.
Although the single player options can get stale, the multiplayer mode easily makes up for its shortcomings, giving hours of entertainment that'll keep you coming for more. Similar to last year' release, MLB Slugfest adds a number of new features in addition to cleaning up a few gameplay bugs.
The new features include options like Home Run Derby and the ability to create a team but nothing that's going to cause you to buy it if you already own last year's. It's still the same steroid injected baseball with the cheap shots that knock the ball out of the fielder's hands, bean balls that can reduce the batters stats, and the famous turbo button to give that extra boost.
Where most Midway sports games stand out is the multiplayer ability. This game isn't any different and if you plan to use the multiplayer mode with any consistency, you won't find a better game to buy. Even though the single player options can get old, it's always fun to knock the ball out of your friend's hand to steal a base or give him one in the kidney if he's too close to the plate.
