A little more insight on Little League World Series
We're not sure whether to be charmed or creeped out by the look of Little League World Series 2008, but maybe checking out some more screens will help us make up our minds.
Some IGN impressions we've dug up also reveal more details about the game. For one, the character customization is purely cosmetic, meaning you can change a player's hair, clothing, stance, name, and such. As for the controls, they sound like a mix between legitimate motion-controls and waggle, but even the waggle seems to be implemented creatively. Fielding is automatic, for instance, but shaking the Wiimote will make your player hustle faster. You can also press the "A" button to make him dive.
Little League World Series offers four levels of difficulty, meaning that you play with ease or aim for a challenge. You can try Skill Challenge mode, too, which includes minigame-esque situations (such as a Home Run Derby, or the pitching game pictured above). Lastly, we like the "achievements" that this baseball title has to offer, as you can earn bobble-head dolls and trophies for your clubhouse.
It sounds to us like those of you who've already written of Little League World Series should give it another look. Depending on your personal preferences, though, the one thing that may deter you is its lack of online multiplayer.
