Spring training is in full bloom and it's only a matter
of time before we hear the roar of the crowd from Shea
Stadium, which is in sight of our office building. It
doesn't look like much now but there are signs of
activity as the groundskeepers make their rounds and
what was once deserted during the winter now buzzes with
preparation and perhaps even anticipation. Another sign
that baseball season is about to start is the
proliferation of baseball games around this time of
year.
Konami's Pro Yakyu Spirits 2004 features a
large amount of modes once one starts the game. There's
Exhibition, Pennant, Rookie, VP Shop, Home Run Derby,
Arrange, Utilities and Training. For newbies unfamiliar
with the game of baseball, a detailed "How to Play"
tutorial shows all the basics of the game and which
buttons to push.
All twelve professional baseball clubs from the Japanese league and
all 528 players are represented in grand fashion. The
quality of the presentation and animation is a bit above
today's other baseball game, Netsu Chu! 2004. The motion
of the players, the execution of plays, and the
subtleties of player animation are superb. When a
shortstop and a second basemen are executing a double
play, the realistic motion of the action is eye candy.
To show off a bit more, the shadows of the players are
modeled beautifully and move in tune with their owners
as they run, slide, leap and jump. |
