MLB Power Pros First Look Who says baseball players need legs? We check out this MLB-licensed version of Konami's long-running hardball series. 誰說棒球選手需要腿的?讓偶們來看看Konami這款有大檸檬授權的老字號系列作。 One part arcade sports game, one part RPG, and one part stat-heavy baseball strategy game, 2K Sports' MLB Power Pros Baseball is nothing if not intriguing, and extremely Japanese. Based on Konami's long-running, incredibly popular baseball game from Japan, Power Pros is now set to debut on American shores next month. As we discovered during some hands-on time with the game today, Power Pros is utterly unlike any baseball game you'll likely have played before. 一部份是運動遊戲、一部份是角色扮演、更有一些策略性質加上濃厚的日式風格， 如果你還是沒興趣的話，2K運動系列的實況大檸檬的確是不值一提。技術上基於 Konami在日本一直廣受喜愛的實況野球系列，實況大檸檬即將於下個月(10月)在米國 首度亮相囉。 偶們(指原作者)親手玩過這款遊戲後，偶可以說，實況大檸檬跟你過去玩過的任何棒球 遊戲是徹徹底底、完完全全的不同。 Big heads, big eyes, no legs: Konami's Power Pro series finally gets the MLB makeover. If you've never heard of Konami's arcade baseball efforts before, let's set some expectations. First, forget the meticulous level of graphical detail that you see in other baseball games. Instead, the player models in Power Pros are cartoonish to the extreme, with circles for hands, big heads and expressive eyes, and a complete absence of legs (though they do have feet, oddly enough). Picture a Mii with a gland problem, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the players in Power Pros look like. That said, the developer has gone to some lengths to make sure that big MLB stars are at least semirecognizable, such as giving Manny Ramirez a cartoon equivalent of his long dreads. 大頭、大眼、無腿:Konami的實況野球系列最後出現了大檸檬版本。 如果你不曾聽聞Konami的任何棒球遊戲，那就來先預期一下:首先，忘記你在其他棒球 遊戲所看到的吹毛求疵、斤斤計較的圖像細節、擬真程度。實況野球的球員模組都是極度 卡通化低，譬如手是圓圈、大頭、以及你忘不掉的大眼睛，以及根本不存在的腿XD(不過 他們有腳，夠奇怪吧)想像一下有著線性問題的Mii(這段我不知道再翻什麼 冏)，你就 大概知道實況野球的球員的模樣囉。也就是說，開發小組投注了一些心血讓這些大檸檬 球星至少能有一半的可辨識度，像是賦予Manny Ramirez卡通化的恐懼感。 Secondly, when it comes to control, Power Pros is as straightforward an arcade baseball experience as you'll find. In the Wii version of the game, you'll be able to play either with the Wii Remote by itself or with the Nunchuk attachment. Playing with the remote is incredibly simple--you swing the remote when at the plate and shake the remote vigorously to either run the bases or field the ball. When pitching, you can choose from a variety of different pitches in your hurler's arsenal, and can add right or left break to the pitch by pressing the plus or minus button, respectively. From there, it's a matter of flicking the controller to throw the ball. That simplistic gameplay is almost too hands-off for our tastes. 這段是說WII版的使用方式，就跟實況14一樣，略過。 Luckily, when you plug the Nunchuk in, you have a good deal more control over the outcome of the game. Fielding and baserunning, for example, is handled with the directional pad. When on the mound, you still select from your pitch arsenal (which includes standard curves, fastballs, and changeups, as well as pitches MLB fans might not be used to seeing, such as the shuto, essentially a more powerful screwball), then press the A button to toss it. Once you've selected your pitch, an icon shows up onscreen which will allow you to aim your pitch in (or out of) the strike zone. You won't have control over the break of the pitch, however, so you'll need to compensate with your aim. When at the plate, a virtual bat will appear onscreen and, to make contact, you'll need to line up the bat's sweet spot to where the ball will cross the plate. You have two swing types, normal and power swing, which can be toggled with the B button. The sweet spot on a power swing is smaller, but the potential reward is taking the ball yard. 還是說使用方式，略過。 With just a glance, it's easy to tell that Power Pros was not developed in the States. From the menu system that contains at least two colors not found in nature, to the insanely chipper musical score, this game looks and sounds unlike any other sports game out there. But the game's unique approach doesn't stop at its presentation. If you really want the full Power Pros experience, two modes--season and success--are where it's at. In the latter, season mode finds you as a fresh-out-of-college GM for your favorite baseball team (think Theo Epstein with even less experience and a much, much larger head). You have a full-time secretary who's moons over your dashing good looks and provides you with tips on how to play through season mode. 匆匆一瞥，仍可輕易發現實況大檸檬在米國尚未發展成熟。(下一句偶有看沒有懂， 翻不出來)這個遊戲看起來、聽起來完全不像其他的運動遊戲。儘管如此，其獨特性 並不會停止遊戲的發表。如果你想體驗完完全全的實況野球，季賽模式與成功模式 就是一定要的啦。 接下來，季賽模式你成為你所喜愛的球隊的GM，可以挑選大學新秀加入球隊(想像一下 毫無經驗、有著非常非常大頭的Theo Epstein) -- -------全球化浪潮最可怕的就是思想的複製.. --
