Review based on XBox 360 Version (Downloaded from XBox Marketplace)
Maybe I'm not the best person to review this since I haven't seen a Nicktoon since the mid 90's when Ren and Stimpy were first on and when Doug was actually a Nicktoon (Doug later became a Disney property by 2000), but around the All-Star Break, XBox Marketplace had the game on sale for $2.99. It was 90% off! It was cheaper than renting it and it took only 1.6 GB of Hard Drive. So I figured I'd give it a try.
I guess you can say that this is a kid-friendly version of The Bigs, the arcade-like MLB game 2K created a couple years back. It still has the violent collision at the plate occur when there's a play at the plate. Maybe they should have had that option depend on which Nicktoon character is the runner. Prince Zuko or Yak would make since, but Kitty Katswell or Katara bowling the catcher over is rather weird at times.
If you like Nicktoons and enjoy baseball, then this game is a fun little romp for you. If you're not a Nicktoons fan, I would suggest just renting this game. If you have an XBox 360, it's an easy way to get some Achievement points.
Grade: B-
