The stadiums are pretty realistic and the animations are very smooth. The players are all motioned captured and move very convincingly. Furthermore, the classic players all show off their famous stances. Although it didn t mean much to me, the pitchers all have different animations and some of the batters have different styles of hitting. As you d expect, Babe Ruth is a little more weighty than the rest of the players and little bits of graphical attention to detail are evident throughout the game.
Sound effects are suitable atmospheric with a decent crowd and the classic organ tunes.
There s an announcer who tells you who s up to bat, but no commentators. The neat graphics and well executed sound give Aaron Vs Ruth a nice gloss. Aaron Vs Ruth is a nice idea but isn t really much more than an average sports game. Obviously multi-player options add to the game s long term appeal, but aside from the novelty of the classic players, there isn t really that much to lift Aaron Vs Ruth above other baseball sims. A really good sports sim will be enjoyed by everyone.
