The Best Baseball Game Ever... Just Got Better!

3DO Europe announces the release of widely-acclaimed Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball.

Endorsed by the number one name in baseball, Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball has already taken the critical US market by storm and has even been praised by PC Gamer US as 'the best baseball game ever'. 3DO Europe is set to complete this home run when it publishes Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball for PC CD-ROM on 30th June 2000 for just UKP19.99.

The 3DO Company, led by Trip Hawkins, CEO, created a dedicated development team of passionate baseball fanatics who were devoted to creating a baseball experience that captures the hearts of gamers and baseball fans alike. From the outset, the High Heat Baseball team has concentrated on realistic pitcher vs. batter match ups - the basis of any baseball game - to recreate the anticipation and adrenaline-charge of the moment the ball is pitched to the moment the batter takes a slug.

High Heat Baseball features six different modes of play including the all-important Batting Practice, Exhibition, Season, Career, Home Run Derby and Playoffs. With all 30 Major League Baseball teams and over 750 players on both the '99 and '00 team rosters, High Heat Baseball really is the definitive baseball experience for the PC.

True-to-life base-running, fielding and team managing have all been made possible by the ground-breaking 'TruPlay' artificial intelligence technology. Tweaked and refined over a four-year period, the artificial intelligence model is second to none and ensures and completely realistic baseball experience.

The cherry on the ballpark-shaped cake is, of course, the Internet and Local Area Network play options for Exhibition, Season and Playoff games offering multiplayer compatibility and in-game chat for up to six players simultaneously.

Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball is the perfect balance between baseball action and realism and will be published for PC CD-ROM by 3DO Europe on 30th June 2000, priced UKP19.99.
