Review: Gonna Buy it without reading a thing - I bought High Heat Baseball 2002 and I was blown away with how great it was. The graphics, and the realism of the game play are way beyond any baseball game on the market. I haven't seen much on High Heat 2003, but that sure (...) doesn't matter. I'm gonna order this game before I read any reviews, see any screen shots, or talk to any of my friends. If it's even CLOSE to as good as 2002 is, I gotta have it. This is a game that your not taking a chance on, it's a guaranteed winner.
Review: Don't be fooled - I bought the High Heat 2002 game and was reasonably satisfied. I played it on Win 98 and had a few problems, but nothing that took away from the experience of the game. This year's 2003 offering is even WORSE than last year's! I'm using XP and 3DO must have not put any effort into testing or troubleshooting the game with XP. There are several major bugs that cause stuttering audio, random (and excessive) program crashes, and game play problems. Try to draft a team? Good luck, you'll wind with some people you didn't select, replacing guys you did and have no idea where they went. Expect a patch? Good luck! 3DO issued 1 patch for HH2002 and it looked like they were aggressively persuing further patches to upgrade the product. Instead, they gave up and let the customers suffer with the program. This year, they look like they're not even bothering with 1 patch! The company puts a sub-standard product in stores, dares people to purchase it and doesn't stand behind it at all. Don't waste your money, you'll be disappointed. Bryan M. Bowie, MD

### ⭐⭐ High Heat 2003
*by A***R on March 23, 2003*

I am a long time fan of High Heat and have bought every year's version. This was not a pc game but a poorly executed console port. If I wanted to play a console game, I would have bought the console version. But, to get a console version that plays on the computer, well, is insulting. As others have written, there is no mouse support. I could live with that, if the interface was easy to use. This interface attempts to be cool, which only leads it to being difficult and not at all intuitive. Often you get to a place and have no idea how to do what you want. The help key is not very helpful, either. Without a mouse, it is hard to find what you want, or to get out of the wrong place, that you will find yourself often. I felt insulted by this game. I should have listened to the reviews that downgraded the game. I actually found the play at times fun, but the game crashed 2x out of 3 games. Not good. That it crashed during the only enjoyable game I had, well, was not reasuring. The addition of new pitch types was a good change. The circles to assist fielding are WAY to large and intrusive. The game often required six or more imputs to get it to accept the pitch selection. (Yes, my sidewinder was calibrated, and works fine with other games.) This totally interrupts the flow of the game, and is very frustrating. The player graphics look like they were taken from an arcade game and not as realistic as some past versions. Some of the animations are really entertaining. Overall, I was very disappointed. Getting a console game, wrapped in a pc package to me is unethical. The menus are flat out awful. If you want a console game to play on a pc, well, this is fair. As a pc game, it is poor.
