Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Review:
The High Heat series has always been one of opposites. Each game in the series has played great, realistic baseball--but the graphics never look as good as the competition. High Heat games always hit the shelves before the competition's games, but they're always plagued with stability issues and other bugs. High Heat games are always the best baseball game of the year in terms of realism, but they always sell the worst. Each year hardcore baseball fans hope and pray that developer 3DO will get it right, and each year 3DO improves just enough to keep hope alive (the High Heat series is kind of like the Red Sox). The good news is that the 2004 edition of High Heat Baseball is no exception to the above. The bad news is that, on the PC at least, the 2004 edition is no exception to the above.
As usual High Heat Major League Baseball 2004 isn’t quite as pretty as most of the competition, but the game does have a nostalgic look that’s quite stylish--kind of like the difference between now-torn down County Stadium and the new Miller Park that replaced it in Milwaukee. A major area of improvement is in player animation. The players aren’t stiff anymore; they move like human beings. A bit of graphics sheen was applied to the stadiums too, and while not the best, High Heat is finally a good looking game. Unfortunately, audio is merely okay. The problem isn’t limited to dry and dull commentary. High Heat 2004 pretty much has the same soundtrack as High Heat 2003 and, the music often does not match action on the field.
High Heat 2040 adds some 30 new pitches to the game, and the pitcher/batter interface so crucial to this game’s success (it’s the best in the business and it feels like real baseball) is still in place and looking good. High Heat plays a solid game of baseball that just feels right.--Andrew S. Bub
Pros: - Good looks, great gameplay
- Best pitcher/batter duel available in a baseball game

A few years ago I read Tim McCarver's book Baseball for Brain Surgeons and Other Fans. McCarver having been a catcher, that book contains a treasure trove of knowledge concerning what goes on in the showdown between the batter vs. the pitcher and catcher at every single pitch (and that showdown accounts for 90% of the action in any given baseball game). I have never watched a baseball game the same way since then; thanks to McCarver I understand the game and love watching it more than I ever have. ... Read More

This is a awesome game. I like the controllers,like you can't cheat like the other baseball games. What i mean is you choose if you want to pich a ball or a strike. I love the way you do that. The other way is harder and a better way to cheat. Like when you pich it then you move the ball around, then when your about to swing the person your playing against can just change the pich to a ball or something else. This is truely the funnest baseball game of all time. I love "Ken Griffey Jr" for super nitendo, ... Read More

I had to buy this game without knowing much about it, so I want others to know what I didn't.
The graphics are definitely better than HH 2003, which wasn't bad anyway. Much more realistic graphics, a plus.
The game play is slightly different. The fielders hop around more before throwing--it's more realistic, but harder to get used to. Just like HH 2003, it isn't that difficult to hit the ball (a big advantage over the All Star Baseball games), and there's still a handy tuning menu where ... Read More

I understand it's a good game if you can get it to run. If you can't get it to run, expect to be returning it.

Nice video opener, that's as far as I get.
My system runs Madden 2004 wonderfully, I can't quite get a handle on what's going on at 3DO and their website which, as I type, is coming up with a 504 error but ... Read More
