Xbox Live Indie Game Review – Home Run Challenge
Pretty much the only reason I got this is because I hadn’t played a baseball game in a good 20 years and it looked interesting. Barker’s Crest is known for their earlier titles like Easy Golf and Avatar Golf. Both are awesome games that even people who hate golf should play. This on the other hand isn’t anywhere near as good.
In fact, to be perfectly honest, it’s fucking boring. But it’s not without it’s good points.
It looks GREAT, it’s accessible and easy to play, there are global high scores.
And it definitely makes very good use of the Xbox 360 avatars. In fact, it’s one of the best uses of them I’ve seen out of the system period. But that’s about it.
