In Success, you create a player and play through his career as a rookie on a Double A team. While modes like Season are fun, Success and MLB Life modes make up the core MLB Power Pros 2008 experience. Additionally, you can nuke every team's roster and force them to start over with Dream Draft. There's no roster support through online downloads, though you can make sure all of the team's rosters are up-to-date through Arrange Mode. All of the MLB players and teams are represented and if you don't happen to have a favorite, you can always create your own. While the player's bodies may not be supported by much, the game is supported by a number of fairly deep play modes. During games, the announcer is a bit over-the-top, but manages to stay entertaining and keep up with the game, regardless of how odd things can get. Music is upbeat and jazzy, which plays into the visuals really well. I'm not saying there's no place for that, since I'll probably be drooling over Madden 09 in a review, but sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy something lighthearted and off beat.

I couldn't begin to tell you how refreshing this was, especially after playing droves of sports games that strive to look just like a TV presentation. All of the stadiums are present and, though some of the finer details aren't around, you'll pick out the more noteworthy ones. Characters have an old school Japanese influence, complete with wildly disproportionate bodies (well, what's there of a body) and facial expressions that are just as big as their eyes. Visuals are the first thing that you'll notice about Power Pros. It is tempting to write MLB Power Pros 2008 off as a "kiddie" baseball game, especially when you take its legless, mouthless players into consideration.
