If you are familiar with Jikkyou Powerful Pro Major League, why not let others know?

It plays excellently if you are a fan of Juiced
First of all the batting lineups are out of order which makes it better because Japanese know baseball better than Major League coaches. For instance Oh Kantoku puts Ichiro in the number 3 spot in the batting lineup while Hargrove puts him at Number one.
- Well, just look at the results.

Graphics are bright, shiny and stadiums are well detailed. For example, Jim Thome is a weakling in this version and a midget like Dean Malenko, the man of 1000 boring moves.
Characters look like cartooned midgets, for instance Ken Griffey Jr looks like Webster from Diff\'rent Strokes. Graphics are hilarious because Major League Ballplayers are cartoon characters in this game just like in Juiced:Rampant Roids, Smash Hits and How Baseball Got Big. Its like a gaming version of Jose Canseco\'s book, all of the ball players are cartoon characters in that book so Capcom decided to make major league baseball players as cartoon characters in this game.

Stadium sounds are great and the bat cracking sounds are right on the money. Also the sound is funny because the game\'s announcers speak Japanese. Its like when Jon Miller and Kenny Smith spoke Japanese in the World Baseball Classic on TNT:

\"Now here\'s a man you all should really respect, it\'s O KONTOKU!\"

Its Oh Kantoku! NOT O KONTOKU! Jon Miller is a real KON-HEAD! Maybe Dan Ack-*ROID* should join him in the Major League Baseball announcing department.

Controls are easy, just aim and hit the ball with the bat by pushing the O button. Although Big time slugger Barry Bonilla is not in the game, Giant Gonzales from WCW take his place.

Graphics is better than MLB 2k6, simply because that game\'s characters are as uncoordinated as Giant Silva fighting E-KOO-HEE-SAH MEE-KNOW-WA-WA-WA-WA- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-WTF! That lady should drink a cup full of SHUT DA FAH-FAH-FAH-FAH-FAH-CUP!

Kris BEN-WA WA WA WA WAAH-WTF\'s batting stance is not in the game. But then who expected it to be? Shane MarkMahon? This is based off the Major League Baseball license, not World Championship Wrestling. But then again, in this day in age they are one in the same. Fake muscles and fake records. Barry Bonilla\'s 700 Homeruns are faker than the Natird Boy Buddy Landell\'s 16 championships
-WHOOOOO, ITS TIME TO RETIRE ALREADY!

In summary here are my scores:

Graphics- 10 out of 10 because the players are deoicted as cartoons like in JUICED: RAMPANT ROIDS, SMASH HITS AND HOW BASEBALL GOT BIG

Sound - 10 out of 10 because OH KONTOKU says so.
Please hire Jon Miller to do the Ketteiban version.

Gameplay - 10 out of 10 because Capcom studied effective batting lineups and they are better than real life
