Sports manga tend to be pretty quick reads, though, in my experience (as is most Shonen manga).

My only complaint at the moment is that, for some odd reason, the devs decided to make the protagonist polygonal, but the backgrounds, enemies, etc., sprite-based. Personally, I would’ve preferred it if everything in the game had been made out of sprites. Also, the game’s definitely a bit on the easy side at the moment, but hopefully that’ll change as I get deeper into it. As for the baseball game, we’ll see how much of a game it actually is in the end. Screenshots almost make it look like it’s simply a digital comic, but who knows? Maybe there’s more interactivity to it than there currently seems to be…thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-58982232881368163092015-07-07T09:41:08.186-07:002015-07-07T09:41:08.186-07:00That’s really interesting, Zach! Like I said in th...That’s really interesting, Zach! Like I said in the post, I initially ignored the game because I thought it was *just* a baseball sim. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you, but I’m not really the biggest fan of the sport, and the only kinds of baseball games I’ve ever really enjoyed are those that are at least somewhat cute (the first RBI Baseball and Baseball Stars for the Neo Geo being examples), so I assumed I wouldn’t like this one. After I saw the game’s box art on GameFAQs, though, I knew it must be something altogether different. Now I just need to give it a try. Maybe this weekend?<br /><br />Also, I’ll definitely do my best to check out one or more of Adachi’s baseball mangas. I don’t suppose you’ve ever read any tennis manga, by the way—such as The Prince of Tennis or anything similar? I’ve always wanted to check it out, but you know how that goes sometimes Jthegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-27718638052187808262015-07-07T09:02:35.404-07:002015-07-07T09:02:35.404-07:00Oh man!

I think I can see three characters on the cover itself.... wow! I can't wait to hear more about that! Also: if you haven't had a chance to read baseball manga before, I'd highly recommend checking out Adachi (he made me like baseball, enough to read about it at least)! Cross Game is realllllly good. But obviously only if you have time/library access!!ZACHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-59124088844585859982015-07-07T08:37:39.989-07:002015-07-07T08:37:39.989-07:00The penguin game looks adorable.
