Power League '93

~ POWER LEAGUE '93 ~

1993

Well, not much has changed since Power League V. '93 even utilizes many of V's tunes. Granted, we're talking good music here, but I wouldn't have minded hearing some good music exclusive to this title. The visuals are largely redundant as well...



...and the old post-game show and scoreboard animations have definitely worn out their welcomes.



One adjustment worth noting is that '93 is tougher than V: base hits aren't nearly as easy to come by here. This tweak is no write-off, but to be honest, I kind of enjoyed racking up stats to fill the league leader board in V. And any player worth his salt will be celebrating a championship before long in '93 anyway.


Not this crap again...

Frankly, the only PL I had less fun with was IV. But I must note that I was unimpressed with this title mainly because it's extremely similar to V, which I'd already played through. Shoot straight to this episode and you'll almost certainly find it to be a great baseball game.
