Product Reviews

I own both the Blade CP and CX helis, and was hoping to get some winter training on my pc with fsone. fsone will help some but not as much as I hoped. The fsone simulation of the cx is bad. the sim has far to much power and far to much control authority, the sim is capable of 90deg banks from hover, also the control is much to smooth and continuous. These issues can be somewhat addressed in the controller setup section of fsone but the user should not have to configure the stock controller to make the sim fly like the real thing especially on the most basic of helis. I have much less flight time with the CP but my impression is that the sim is not quite right, at times it feels far to stable. and again a bit smooth. Controller calibration is painful at best, it is very easy to mess up and the only ‘error message’ is an aircraft that does not fly properly. I have played a bit with the fixed wing sims but never flown real RC hardware, but I am very failure with fixed wing ac simulation. I would say the fixed wing sims are acceptable, and better than the rotorcraft. Documentation and help files are poor. If you think graphics, guis, load times and special effects matter think about why you would buy a sim in the first place. will only say they are acceptable. I have not tired alternatives to fsone but would suggest finding a hobby store where you can compare before buying. If someone writes a counter to my review please check what other reviews they have written, you may find that they are a very positive person.

Even each MLB ballpark has been faithfully replicated with their respective famous landmarks. With a unique control system, amazing animations and an assortment of enjoyable and challenging game modes, this is baseball as you’ve never seen it before! ESRB Rated E for Everyone Game Reviews Power Pro is the first american version of japan’s top baseball game. At first glance I’m sure a lot of you think this is a stupid kiddie game and a waste of time. Well “hardcore” gamers and casual fans alike will love this game and I’ll break it down for noth camps. Casual Gamers: Ever wanted an indepth wii sports baseball? Want to create yuor own Mii team to play against the yankees? Now you can. With it’s exclusive Mii games you can swing the wii mote just like a bat and take on the best of the MLB with your family and friends. Assign positions and play in actual mlb parks for a full 9 inning game. This will take family fun night to a new level as the whole family can brag aobut beating the yankees or lie about losing to the Devil Rays. Hardcore Baseball fans: This is the best baseball simulator ever. That’s right. The level of detail is amazing. Also for those of you against motion controls you can use a classic controler, gamecube controller, or just nunchuck and wiimote. Success mode is a full rpg where you are a college prospect that must balance practice, school work, dating, and a job all while trying to beocme team captaina nd get a spot on a major league team. Every action raising your stas and makes you into a future hall of famer. Those of us who prefer a season/manager mode then you are in luck as this is probablly the best season mode I have ever seen. This game has so much more that I can’t do justice describing it. This game is the perfect game to get any baseball fan form your 5 year old who loves swinging a bat to the most cynical Yankee fan. This is my highest recomendation for any wii game. Forget the Bigs, this is where the heart and soul of baseball cna be found. MLB Power Pros is going to be one of those games that you either give a chance or completely overlook it; most people are going to overlook it due to the look and visual style, which is a HUGE mistake. For those looking for a hardcore baseball sim - look no further. For those looking for a pick-up and play with friends or for a quick exhibition game - look no further. Hardcore and casual gamers alike will enjoy this title. Originally a Japanese Baseball hit game, it’s about time that American gamers get to savor exactly what our Asian friends have been raving about for so long! I believe that whenever a Japanese sensation gets imported over to American gamers, it should be given a chance. Simply because the Japanese have been doing this for a lot longer than we have, and in my opinion have great taste in video games and their substance. There are quite a few modes that deliver something for everyone. From a quick exhibition game (featuring all MLB teams and the All-Star teams), to a Season mode in which you pick your team and lead them all the way to the World Series, including managing, trading, and salary caps, and also the much heralded “Success” mode; which is like an RPG in which you lead your player through 3 years of college at a mediocre University. There are many ways to develop your player, from taking part time jobs, making girlfriends, becoming an Ace on your pitching rotation and of course, deciding whether or not to study for classes. This mode ALONE demands that you purchase this game - any RPG fan will fall in love with this mode. For those who purchase the Wii version, never fear, you can use the Wii’s unique motion control to swing, field and pitch in the Home Run Derby mode and the Exhibition mode. The Wii motion controls can not be used in Success, Season or League mode, however. You also can complete specific objectives throughout the season mode and home run derby and gain “points” in order to purchase new equipment for your team so that practices go better in “Season” mode. All in all, the 39.99 price tag for this game is a bargain. Not only are you getting the best, most in-depth Baseball Simulation to date (including all ballparks, all teams and all the MLB players, including most AAA players), you are also getting a baseball-dating-life RPG too. I can’t make you buy this game, but I can certainly tell you that if you pass this title up, whether you are a hardcore MLB fan, or a casual gamer, you are missing one of the best titles of the year. This is a solid baseball game. At first I wondered if it was just going to be a cutesy baseball game given the look of the characters but the game has very indepth game play. The only complaints I would have with this game is that once you are into the higher innings if the opposing pitcher is considered “excellent” it seems he can’t throw a bad pitch. Also there there seems to be an ease for the computer to get double plays. And can you really make money? Not if you are the Yankees. Minor picky stuff that is probably mostly user error but of note as this is a game that you can make very difficult as you trade players, train players and even play through a whole season. If you are a fan of classic in depth baseball games then this is the first I have seen in a while so you should definitely pick up a copy! One of the best MLB games out in my opinion, MLB Power Pros has a variety of features such as baseball cards, road to the majors, and create your own dream team! I highly recommend this game A solid A+! This is the most fun I’ve had playing a sports video game since the old Ken Griffey Jr. game on the N64 counsel. And the best thing about it is its multiple modes make it enjoyable for all different levels of gamers. It’s simpler wii sports-esqe mode makes for great out of the box playability and good fun for the more casual gamers, and makes for a decent party game. Meanwhile, the more complex season and exhibition modes provide a remarkably in depth baseball game that lets you control just about every aspect of a team you could imagine. The detail they put into these modes is amazing. Don’t be fooled by the kiddie graphics, this is a true baseball game that any fan of the sport will enjoy. And if that’s not enough, they throw the delightfully quirky success mode, which allows you to control the fate of a college player. This mode is good fun and is far more addictive than one would expect. Over all it’s a great game and I would recommend it to any baseball fan.
