One of the most unique sports experiences of last generation was Mario Superstar Baseball on the Gamecube. It's been three years since that title hit shelves, and this week we were treated to it's followup: Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii. Is it worth your hard earned cash? Take a look at these reviews and decide for yourself!

Greg Ford of 1UP says: "balance isn't the game's strongest suit, and besides some significant stat differences, some characters have supermoves that essentially guarantee hits (like Daisy's field of sleep-inducing flowers), while others can be handled easily enough (like Bowser's fireball line drives). But the A.I. proves far more criminal when it comes to baserunning. On-base players will happily run on fly balls rather than waiting to see if the ball gets caught before going back, resulting in far more instances of double plays than any baseball game should have."

Bozon of IGN says: "The core experience is nearly identical to the Namco-made baseball game from three years ago, and we're talking everything from charge swings and pitching, player-specific star moves, a handful of the mini-games, the startlingly short challenge mode, and undeniable "it's simple, but it's still fun" feeling you get from playing."

Adam Biessener of Game Informer says: "Multiplayer is amusing in that hanging out with your friends is fun anyway, but the single-player content is truly terrible."

In a recent interview for Marvel.com, Zak Krefting, Creative Director at Shaba Games discussed the upcoming Spiderman game, Web of Shadows.
