A great example of a well done non-US sports game!
So much depth in terms of the stats and ratings that affect play, so much attention to detail (Japanese developers still go the extra mile the rest of the world has yet to reach), superb graphics and animation and some of the most realistic and expressive commentary in any sports game.
You will need to read Japanese to fully enjoy the game and all play modes but even with no understanding you can enjoy a simple quick game.

Good continuation of a solid series
I purchased this game mainly due to it's inclusion of a WBC mode which features all the teams and players from the tournament. The only two gripes I have about this mode is the lack of authentic stadiums other than the Tokyo Dome and the fact that the players cannot be used in traditional Pro Yakyuu modes like the Home Run Derby or against NPB teams. Overall this is a really well done game which I would recommend to anyone wanting to play the WBC or is interested in Japanese baseball.
