1up MLB 2K7 Xbox 360 Review 7.5

MLB 2K7 Xbox 360 Review: "If you're too lazy to take yourself out to the ballgame, rush out to grab MLB 2K7, as it sparkles as the first true next-gen baseball game to hit the market. From a detail standpoint -- and fans know authentic baseball is in the details -- this is shockingly awesome (and proves why EA's well-regarded MVP series can never compete without a big-league license). The player likenesses are uncanny from a facial standpoint, but that's not the half of it. Where this goes above, beyond, and beyond that, is the way Derrek Lee's pants go to his heels, Tom Glavine lives on the outer half of the plate with each pitch, Pedro Martinez wears a jacket when he lucks onto first base, Jimmy Rollins has a two-toned mitt, Juan Pierre runs with batting gloves clenched in his fists, Nomar Garciaparra goes all OCD before each at-bat, Ichiro sports shades while patrolling the outfield, and C.C. Sabathia is fat. We just named a handful of players, but those types of details are woven into every player -- the level of care is inspiring. In fact, the attention to detail is so hypnotizing, it's tough to immediately spot the game's deficiencies. The only graphical hang-ups are the merely satisfactory stadiums and the humdrum and inattentive crowds."
