A little trailer for Little League World Series 2008
Activision's Little League World Series 2008 may have character designs that look like the kind of thing South Park parodies, but the game actually looks pretty solid technically. Clean, cel-shaded art and smooth animation elevates the look of the game. Of course, the bug-eyed characters aren't really a knock against the game, since it's for kids. We're just happy to see evidence of a budget!
In a few instances, the onscreen player seems to perform a super-high jump or a super-fast slide. We're almost entirely certain these are just effects for the video, since superhuman abilities would be pretty out of place in a game about a real tournament. But if there actually is even a semblance of Baseball Simulator 1.000-like wackiness, we are on board. It's probably just a speed or jump bonus for good timing.
