IGN: MLB 09: The Show Review

While the Show on the PS2 is still an engaging and enjoyable game, it’s definitely been overshadowed by the other versions on Sony’s other systems. The visuals are getting a bit worn, and some of the changes feel like they weaken elements of the game, like those made to the fielding. While there is a lot more depth thanks to the Franchise mode, there are so few changes that this is almost a repeat of last year’s game.
