Stormfront's underrated Tony La Russa series continues with Tony La Russa Baseball II, an astounding sequel that features numerous enhancements that makes a great game even better. The innovative "fly ball cursor" is even more easier to use this time around, and there is a ton of updated statistics and exciting new coaching features that makes the "simulation" aspect of the game much more complete. As in the first game, TLRB II lets you control any US baseball team of your choice and lead them to the World Cup. If you prefer managing a league of your own creation, the Fantasy Draft feature allows up to 30 gamers to trade, bargain, and exchange major league players to create their own individual teams. Other features include all new 256-color graphics, expanded statistical accuracy, individual player portraits, and play-by-play commentary. Suffice to say that if you like the first game, you'll love TLRB II. It's a great update to an underrated classic, and bodes well for the series that ended up having 3 more sequels, with the last one released in 1997.
About the product:
* Play/Manage a team of either some of the greatest teams ever from 1901-1968, or the best of the best on each team, with a total of 2000 players to choose from, each ranked in 134 different categories.
* Create your own teams/leagues and set how each computer manager manages, team colors, and so on
* You can play at classic or modern ballparks with realistic dimensions
* Ron Barr calls the plays as they unfold, while jumbo screen replays also help you analyze performances
* The series is seen as a predecessor to EA's Triple Play series
While dated, this game is still a fun game to play. Yes, the graphics cannot begin to compare to today's EA Sports versions, but still this is an intriguing game mostly because of the player and team options available. Tony 2 allows one to combine players from all sorts of different teams (it has a data base of players going back to the early 1900's!), and it allows you to create players too. Ever wanted to see how all the great AL players would do against the greatest NL players? With Tony 2 you can easily do this and have a single game or a season's worth of games. The options are what makes this game a great buy. I bought it for my son, and we had so many fun nights playing Tony 2. We also learned a lot about the players from their statistics. I rate this an A+ game for pure fans of the game of baseball.
