Print this page. The original World Series Baseball for the Sega Saturn received an overwhelming response from gamers everywhere. It was arguably the best sports game released for the Saturn and perhaps the best sports game released last year. Players loved it and wanted more, and World Series Baseball II gives it to them.
Sports games live and die by two things - solid gameplay and range of features.
With World Series Baseball II, Sega hasn't skimped on detail and the gameplay couldn't be better. Players will find over 700 major league players, all 28 teams, stat tracking, and the five modes of play that made the first version such a hit. The gameplay hasn't changed much from last year's nearly perfect offering, but the graphics have been enhanced with smoother player animations to give the game polish. The look of the game is fairly realistic. There are five new camera angles including the chase cam, which follows the ball's trajectory, and the active cam, which shows the action from the outfielders' point of view.
