Dusty Diamond All-Star Softball Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I've been an avid gamer since high school and after Nintendo continuously updated and outdated their systems from year to year, this game eventually became something I could never play anymore. After a few years of swearing off games, I eventually returned to Playstation thanks to their respect for their customer and their efforts to make their previous consoles games playable on the newer systems.

This comes at a price though. Gone, is the games that are just plain guilty time wasting wholesome fun. Nearly every game that is made these days involves war, sports, death, darkness and dread. Games like "Dusty Diamond All-Star Softball" are a thing of the past and it says a lot that every so-often I long to play this game again. It wasn't complicated. It was a simple and beautiful thing. It was a schoolyard pick-em. There were a group of kids who all had different abilities. Some were fast. Some were slow. Some had great arms. Some had so-so arms. Some had power. Some didn't. Some were more suited to be catchers and some were more suited to be centerfielders. You picked your team. The computer picked their team and you played a game on your choice of softball field. Simple as that. Fun as could be.

GAMEMAKERS of today: Make this game again! Add to it though. Call it "Schoolyard Games", I don't care. Make it where there are dozens of kids, studs, dorks, goths, nerds, slow, fast. Have you and your friends do a schoolyard pick-em and play games like Softball, Basketball, 4-square, 8-square, dodgeball, football, hockey, tennis, soccer, volleyball. Have tournaments. The kids should have different personalities and looks.

The gaming world needs to lighten up and this would be a great game to do that. They sort of flirted with it with the game "Bully" on the ps2, but of course, they had to make "Bully" about beating people up and violence. Stepping down from my soapbox but hoping that someday I can play that game.
