Sammy Sosa Softball Slam

Synopsis

by Scott Alan Marriott

Slammin' Sammy Sosa endorses his second baseball game for publisher 3DO, this time leaving the pro stadiums behind for casual play on sandlots and parks. Softball Slam is an arcade-style take on the recreational sport, featuring a mix of all-male, all-female, and co-ed leagues. Batting involves tapping one of three keys as the ball crosses the plate. On the mound, you'll select an underhand pitch speed (quick or normal) and whether the throw is a strike or a ball. There are no steals in Softball Slam, fielding can be manual or automatic, and games span seven innings instead of nine. The over-the-top atmosphere includes taunts, strong throws bursting into flames, wacky errors, and a wildly enthusiastic announcer. Compete in a tournament or an exhibition game with your choice of existing teams or custom squads created with the built-in editor.
