So I have had a few days to review the new baseball game for Playstation 3 and so far so good.  MLB 08 The Show is the only Major League Baseball game on the Playstation consoles this year, and well I think everyone will be happy with the game overall.

I have only had the chance to play a few games and here is what I think so far:

Pros:
Great Graphics
Gameplay is a lot of fun
Hitting is a challenge which I really like.  I hate games that let you up 10 homeruns a game!
The interactive menus I really like.  It is very simple to make subs or pitching changes.

Cons:
A little slow loading, but once you get into the game it isn’t a problem.
Online play (the one game I played) was very laggy.  I have heard others complain of the problem as well.
The fans in the stands need some more work, and the bleachers in Chicago are never empty!

I think this game could off the charts if they improve the online game play, add some more server bandwidth etc.  Right now I would MLB 08 The Show an 8 out of 10 score.  It would go up to a 9 if they improve online play.

Now to give away a free copy of the game right here at Diamondbackshomeplate.com .  Leave us a comment, and guess the first player to hit the Diamondbacks homerun, and also guess against what team it will happen against.  It is simple as that!  Register, leave your comment, and your guess and if you are the winner, we will ship you a copy of MLB 08 The Show for Playstation 3 free of charge!
