Jason Venter writes for Honest Gamers:
"This is the most fun I've had with a baseball game for years... on any platform. It's easy to play, difficult to master and more difficult still to put down when you're done playing. It's not a home run, but it comes close!"
What GameZone loved about Little League World Series Baseball 2008 is that the games are short enough (6 innings, true to Little League) and fun enough that you can pick this game up and play it time and time again. There are also a variety of modes and unlockable awards that will keep you entertained and provide incentive to kick some Little League butt for a long time to come.

Little League World Series Baseball 2008 has a lot to offer in terms of depth - you'll never play the same game twice, and that keeps things fresh. There are plenty of modes to keep you interested, including Exhibition, World Series, Home Run Derby, and even a baseball-themed Bowling game. Little League World Series Baseball has its moments of greatness, but it is often plagued by gameplay issues that obscure its full potential.

GameFocus Writes:
"Let's face it; baseball games are almost non-existent on the Wii and after the abysmal and ugly Backyard Baseball game and the boring "The BIGS", my expectations for this game weren't that high. Surprisingly, Little League World Series Baseball 2008 is a very cool game that not only feels different but also puts the pressure on future baseball games on the Wii, even if it has this kiddie look. Little League World Series Baseball 2008 achieved something that only a small bunch of Wii games has done: put a smile on my face."
