Synopsis
by Scott Alan Marriott
Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball offers five game modes for baseball fans: Exhibition, Season, Playoffs, Home Run Derby and Clutch Time, which will let you try your hand at completing one of sixteen different scenarios. The game also brings over 700 MLBPA stars to the plate with ratings based on the 1994 season. This title does not include a Major League Baseball license, however, nor does it have authentic stadiums.
Has baseball become too slow a game for you? If so, there's a Quick Play option which will give you only one strike. Other notable features include: rain delays, different times of day, pitcher fatigue, hot and cold streaks, lineup changes, and battery backup to track 23 different stat categories. The main view is from the catcher's perspective, but once the ball is hit, the game will switch to a traditional three-quarter view for fielding. Acclaim used their motion capture technology to create large digitized batters modeled after slugger Frank Thomas himself.
