Baseball, that most American of sports, is very much a love or hate type of game but if you are the sort who sits through hours of TV coverage of the sport this will be an ideal partner throughout the off-season.
It's all here, even the national anthems before you play ball. There are four modes: Exhibition, Championship, Home Run Derby and Batting Practice. It has all the ingredients one would want for a quick game of baseball; and at the same time you can get down to the nitty gritty of the game if you so wish.
VR Baseball mightn't be everybody's favourite game but if you are that way inclined it's a sure winner. If, on the other hand, you don't like baseball, give it a go; you might be surprised just how much fun it is.
