While the audio is still very good, there is some repetition of the announcers (especially when you swing at a bad pitch) and the same audio gripes that were with the PS3 version apply here: you can import your own music for the menu screens but you cannot select your own songs as player entrance music, which begs the question why bother with custom soundtracks if you can’t use them?

Quibbles aside, MLB 08 The Show packs quite a bit into this smaller platform and it makes a great companion to the console counterpart and is easily the best handheld baseball game on the market.
