Diehard GameFAN writes: "Annually since 1947, the world’s best little league baseball players have gathered for the Little League Baseball World Series. This event has become an international phenomena, gathering kids from all around to compete to be the best little league team in the world. Now Production must have taken notice of how quickly the Little League World Series was gaining in popularity, and started developing the Little League World Series Baseball franchise since 2008 for the Nintendo Wii, earning nice remarks from our own Matt Yeager. This year, with the third installment, Now Production has moved away from the Wii and instead released Little League World Series Baseball 2010 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 video game consoles."
IGN writes: "There's no doubt that sports games have lost the simplicity that made them so accessible back in the days of the Genesis and Super Nintendo, when player models were nothing more than 2D sprites on the screen. In those days the expectation for a realistic depiction of the sport was minimal. That has changed recently and has sadly left the younger generation of gamers without much of a footing in the sports world. That's where Little League World Series 2010 (LLWS 2010) comes into the picture with its simple gameplay and easy-to-learn feature set. There's no doubt that it's lacking in many of the hardcore baseball areas, but as a casual title meant for newcomers to the sport, I think there just might be enough to warrant your time".
Little League World Series Baseball 2010 brings an all new Season Mode, where players compete for first in the standings while playing through a twenty game season, and Career Mode has been expanded. Deeper character customization and even more in-game awards are going to wow newcomers to the franchise and existing fans alike. New online functionality offers the ability to upload records and track leaderboards, rounding out a complete baseball package that rivals the full priced baseball titles.
GameFocus writes: "Earlier this year I had the pleasure of reviewing two great ball games, MLB 10 The Show and MLB 2K10. While both titles tend to focus on offering fairly accurate simulations of America’s favorite pastime, they’re both a little intense when it comes to the stat-heavy, ultra-realistic features. Sure, that’s great for the older fans out there who want to keep things as close to real as they can get, but what about the younger baseball fans who just want to have some fun?"
