High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 for the PS2 delivers a killer combination of awesome controls and realistic details, proving to be much more fun than EA Sports’ Triple Play Baseball. High Heat’s clean pitcher/batter interface provides more challenge and reward to hitting than a cursor system, making you judge a pitch and not just follow an icon. And the game is filled with tiny details that true blue baseball fans will love. Although the graphics and sounds aren’t as good as Triple Play’s, they aren’t bad either. This spring, High Heat beats reigning champ Triple Play for the total baseball game that’s worth playing all season long—we’ll have to wait and see if Acclaim Sports’ All-Star Baseball and 989 Sports’ MLB can compete.
