Review--X-Baseball (iPhone/iPod/iPad)

8/30/2011

From developer XLARGE comes this simple but completely addictive baseball game. This game looks like an NES-era baseball game, and features a batter, catcher, pitcher and crowd. The gameplay is really simple, as your job is to hit pitches thrown to you before you strike out. Based on how far you hit the ball, you earn points, and the goal is to get as high a core as possible. You can also hit birds to earn extra points, and sometimes bunches of bananas will be thrown from the crowd that you can smash to erase one of your strikes. When you get three strikes, your’re done, so each game ends up only being a few minutes. It’s completely addictive through, as you’ll contstantly be trying to better your last score.

X-Baseball is completely free on the iTunes store, and I highly recommend you grab it immediately.

Neat little game there, I downloaded it and played a few rounds. If you want another good (free) baseball game that's a little more comprehensive check out Gamevil's Baseball Superstars series. I was playing 2010 I think and got several hours of enjoyment out of it. It's sort of an RPG baseball game where the main feature is you playing as a certain player and batting or pitching your way to the top. The RPG elements aren't all that cool but the baseball gameplay (particularly for the hitter) is really good.

I've played and enjoyed the Baseball Superstars sim. What I really like about X-baseball is how quick the games are and how it puts you right in the action.
