Backyard Baseball 2009

"As for the Wii controls, a flick of the wrist throws pitches and swings the bat, but it's best to go through the baseball motions."

"This game has the feeling that it could have been done much better. Wii Sports allowed us to use the Wiimote to actually swing while this game merely uses a flick to swing, or a flick to pitch. It has entertainment value, is not an overly deep baseball experience and feels like it could have taken the series to the next level rather than leaving the franchise stranded on the bases. What is here is fine, but the series has not truly advanced much."
