I purchased All star Baseball 2003 and thought the graphics were really outstanding. It is probably the best in depth baseball game ever made. However, the game play itself is not user friendly. The batting cursor is very difficult to maneuver. You only have a fraction of a second to line the cursor up so you have a chance to hit the ball. This ruins the game for me. I took it back and exchanged it for triple play baseball. Now triple play is not as in depth but it has pretty good graphics too and the gameplay itself is much much much more user friendly.Some reviews for triple play say that it is to easy to hit home runs and I would have to agree that it is but all you have to do is increase the level of difficulty to all star. On all star you would be lucky to hit more then one or two home runs per 9 inning game. All star baseball is a fascinating game but if you just want to play ball then Triple Play is the game to get.
