Midway Ships MLB SlugFest 2006

Midway has updated its way-over-the-top baseball game SlugFest for Playstation 2 and Xbox.

Midway Games has shipped MLB SlugFest 2006, an update to it’s over-the-top “non-simulated” baseball game for Playstation 2 and Xbox.

You have to wonder about a descripton of a game which uses the word “adrenaline” twice times in two paragraphs to describe itself. Nonetheless, it’s easiest to describe SlugFest as an “arcade-style” baseball game which focuses more on thrills, spills, action, and accidents rather than on simulating an actual baseball game: players aim for massive home runs, collisions, circus catches, and cartoon-like play like turbo pitching, bean balls, on-fire fielding, and sliding into bases spikes high.

SlugFest 2006 has been updated with new team roster and stadium information, and a new create-a-player mode enables gamers to develop their own muscle-bound sluggers (who will swear before Congress they never stoop to performance enhancing drugs) and hotshot pitchers. SlugFest 2006 will retail for $19.99 and is rated E10+ by the ESRB.
