If You Are What You Say You Are, A Superstar

Baseball Superstars (US$2.99) is one of my absolute favourite applications on the entire iTunes Store (so this review may be a bit biased). I had the free version for quite a while and even that version was excellent. GAMEVIL has went above and beyond all other applications (in my opinion) in its creation of Baseball Superstars. We all know that too many features can spoil an app (see here), but, Baseball Superstars dispells that theory with five different game modes. Each mode is different and has its own unique challenges and objectives.

The app contains all the modes you would expect; a single game (known as "Normal Game") and a season mode. The normal game is your garden variety nine inning baseball slugfest. This mode is great for learning the quirks of the game and is excellent if you want to be able to pick it up and play without configuring settings (or impacting on your season stats). It is in season mode where the excellent development of the game really grabs you. The season runs through 36 games and contains some very realistic themes. These themes include; having to do promotional events (such as autograph signings), being able to trade players and having the opportunity to track every stat imaginable (for every player in the League!).

The app goes a step further with the Mission, Homerun and My League modes. Mission mode involves playing with a created player to clear various missions. There are 20 missions available& for both pitcher and batter. Homerun mode is an action packed feature which gives you ten attempts to hit the farthest homerun you possibly can. My League mode is amazing, you must create and build your own character from scratch. Your character's abilities can be increased by winning games and having good performances as well  as the evaluations you recieve at the end of each game and your season salary and overall popularity will be affected by this.

Baseball Superstars has been made for enjoyment, with its cartoon graphics to its amazingly in depth modes. This application ticks all the boxes as far as sports based applications are concerned. I am a sports fan so I knew I would enjoy this app. For those of you who aren't fond of sports I would suggest using the trial version, to see if you will enjoy it as much as I have. Everyone else (those who enjoy sports) consider it a necessity that you buy this app, you will never, ever regret it.
