GameSpot gave Backyard Baseball '97 an 8 after admitting the remaster forgot to remaster.
The Original Review
GameSpot — Mark Delaney
Rated: 8/10 · Published:
“It’s said that the game is remastered, though I can’t see how. Every inch of it looks identical, not just to my spotty memory, but also when I compare it to gameplay videos online.”
The math aint mathing. GameSpot's own review says the alleged remaster looks identical, lacks modern modes, has the same old CPU exploit, and becomes so easy the reviewer starts inventing house rules like a bored accountant creating fake taxes for his Monopoly money. Then the score walks in wearing an 8/10 sash, smiling like nothing happened. This is a calculator crime scene with tiny cleat marks all over the spreadsheet.
Was this review of a review fair?
