IGN Cube:

"This year's iteration of MLB Slugfest 2004 irons out some of the issues of its predecessor, and adds a little more functionality and some control depth. Bottom line, MLB Slugfest is worth a look this year, especially if you contemplated checking it out last year..."

8.0


GameSpot:

"The game retains all the gameplay aspects that made the original a success and adds a handful of new things... Slugfest is a fine game of baseball on all three platforms, and any baseball fan who hasn't played it yet should definitely check it out, keeping in mind that Slugfest doesn't take itself seriously..."
