Ign: We wouldn’t go as far as to say this is Nintendo-made shovelware, but there's very little that has changed in the three years between "Mario Superstar Baseball" on GCN, and Mario Super Sluggers on Wii. 71

1 up: Super Sluggers succeeds and fails as most Mario sports games do. Its quick, arcade-style action is easy to get into and plenty fun, coming at the expense of the nuances -- and balance -- you'll find in a sim. 75

Nintendo Power: This baseball diamond loses some of its luster with occasionally confusing or clunky play (it's too easy to accidentally pitch or swing prematurely), but the game's simplified approach is great for sports-curious gamers looking to avoid the complexities of a real simulation. [Oct 2008, p.87]

GamesmasterUK: A step back for Wii baseball controls, but enough of a gameplay leap to warrant playing. [Sept 2008, p.70] 80.

To be honest, looking at the text of a lot of these reviews, they wanted to give it a lower score than they actually did. The controls do not please everyone.

Yes youre absolutely right all those sites wanted to give it a lower score, maybe the score the game deserved and thats in the 6.s range, but the fact that this is a nintendo game automatically gives it an extra point ot 2

Will you guys stop being so fanboyish to admit that this is an average game ,a  game that seems to be (from the reviews )worst then the gamecube version that was released years ago ,and as i see gaming reviews, average games get average scores not 7,s or 8,s like most first party average games tend to score, and this is in general not only for nintendo but also for sony and microsoft but for these 2 in a little less degree

There is no problem in liking games that score is the 6,s i have Viking batlle for asgard and that game got a 3 !!!!! from 1up and apart from some minor flaws the game is great but was trashed by critics not just 1up something that killed the game sales wise if mario super sluguers is an underated game what can i say about Viking

Nintendo fans need to wake up to the fact that all nintendo games get  inflated scores and thats a proven fact i own several nintendo games and love most of them but i can see there real value not let miself get clouded by fanboyism

 

You saved me typing, lol. I didn't realize until I got BACK into console gaming how sheepish people are to game reviewers. It's bothersome to say the least.
