Very nice graphics of over 50 different cars. The cars look identical to their real
life counterparts as well. The tracks have nice texture effects, and you actually seem
like you are driving at the speeds you are, unlike some racing games. There is fairly
little pop up, which is always a plus. The graphics can seem a bit rough sometimes but
not enough to detract from the enjoyment.

Short squatty ball players don’t quite compare to some baseball games, especially
these newer once where the player look like themselves. This is a pretty early game
I believe though, so it’s hard to expect much. At least they are human for the most
part.
Music and Sound: 3/10
There is like 1 tune in this whole game, it consists of 1 sound repeated at several
notes, every 10 notes or so. It is VERY repetitive. The sound effects are mostly
squeals of various kinds. The ball pitching, the ump’s calls, etc.

Despite being one of the few 2D games for the N64, I think the graphics on this game are amazing. Very colorful, very detailed manga styled graphics. Had this game included actual anime cut scenes it would have possibly been a 10. Unfortunately the N64 is unsuited for FMV and the cut scenes are limited to sprite movement. Anyway I really like the look of this game.

Nice NES graphics. Personally I really like the view used for this game for a football
game. I don’t care much at all for the newer more popular behind the quarterback style.
The cut scenes in this game are pretty nice as well, The intro is particularly nice.
It’s esy to tell what’s going on which is almost necessary for a football game if you
want to get the guy with the ball.
1-2 Players Graphics: 7/10 Pretty decent graphics. The enemies and such all look like what they are supposed to for the most part. They are a bit cutesy looking overall but then the game itself is supposed to be cutesy. For the most part all sprites are block sized creatures except the end boss which is huge. An overall colorful environment. Music and Sound: 4/10 The sound effects are fairly repetitive. For the most part Bub and Bob (the two dragons) have the only read sound effects. The jump and shoot bubble for sound. Occasionally an enemy shoots stuff for a new sound effect. The music is what really brings this score down. Let’s put it this way, there are like 2 songs in the entire game. There’s the regular theme, which repeats about every 10 seconds, and the end boss battle theme, which is really fast and seems like it repeats sooner. Anyway, the music isn’t so bad that it gets annoying after repeating so much, but it is a it repetitive. Due to the continuous nature of the play though it sort of fits. Gameplay: 7/10 Quite a fun game for two players. Kind of boring alone though. It features two player simultaneous play and really it’s a bit harder on one player. And despite other multiplayer games I still play this one once in a while with others. The action is incredibly repetitive which may be a turn off, but it’s repetitive in the same way Tetris is, in that it is addicting and fun. Overall: 6/10 A decent multiplayer jam with some nice, silly graphics. I would recommend this game for pretty much anyone, though I suppose some people may find it’s cutesiness a bit of a turn off. Tip: Use the password “DDFFY” to select any level.

I’m sure they would be a bit better if I had a GBC to play this game on, however since I
only have an original black and white GB, it kind of limits the graphics. Also some of
graphics aren’t all that great. The perspectives seem weird, ect. They are identical to
the NES version of this game. The menu set up is different, but this is more to accommodate
the smaller GB screen.
