I don't know how the game is on the other consoles, but on Wii, it's definately different. First, the graphics are a step down from the other consoles, which was expected. The good thing about this is the wii's unique controls. The wii remote makes everything a bit more realistic from the other consoles. For those of you who have played the MVP Baseball series on the pre-gen consoles, the pitching was a boring addition. Using the analog stick to move the pitch, and pressing the buttons to the desired velocity. Yawn... But with the Wii and MLB 2K8, they've tried to revolutionize the pitching mechanics. It takes time to get used to, for those who are still brainwashed into the button mashing, but it's really cool once you get used to it. Obviously, you use the wii remote to aim, but with a twist, you use the analog stick on the nunchuck to select the pitch. Then pull back while pressing B, and release. The faster you release, the faster the pitch. This is a revolution in baseball video games. Once you've played the game a couple of times, it gets easier. The only major drawback is the graphics. If the three next-gen consoles were combined, I'm sure every game would be getting 9-10 on every person's score. With the wii's controller, XBox's online capability, and the PS3's graphics, every game would be spectacular. Unfortunately, this video game utopia doesn't exist yet. There's still a three way console war. and, to many people's discomfort, the wi had to sacrifice it's graphics for the unique gameplay. It's obvious in almost every game, save a couple game of the month's here and there. In MLB 2K8, if you can get past it's abismal graphics, and completely wrong shadowing, you can hve a great time. In the end, that's what the wii is all about. Just have fun.
