Gameplay
The gameplay of Pinch Hitter 2 is a very fun baseball game and can be challenging. This is a perfect baseball game. It can be so challenging. You get to choose your name, color, and team name. You must play baseball and do the objectives it tells you. The only part of the game you are working on is batting. It will give you a goal and you must complete it with only 10 pitches. Some goals will say hit this many home runs or get this many points. The easiest way to get a lot of points is to hit home runs. They will give you 4000! Dont let the fielders catch the ball or else you points will be deducted. It wont matter about points if you goal is not about getting a specific amount of pints. You play at 3 levels of the game Sandlot, Little League, and Majors. There are four levels in each and it is really challenging. As you head into the next level, the field gets bigger and completing objectives also get more difficult. However, the game starts to look more professional. It will take you some time to complete objectives on harder levels. Try to hit the ball towards the x2 icons so your score gets doubled. An easy way to hit a home run is to back away from the plate and the get the sweet spot of the bat on the ball. It will show you the scoreboard and how many points you get for a hit. In the menu, it also tells you your rank. I really like how much fun this game is and how different it can be each level.

Graphics
Graphics are average. There are a lot of different levels. And once you head to the next level of baseball, it gets better, the fields look much cleaner. You go form a sandlot in a backyard to a little league field to the best it can get which is the Majors. The players are shaped like human but they have no facial features it is just a head and nothing else there. The animations are perfect and it feels like your are in a real baseball game. I like how everything is clear in this game and nothing appears blurry for a mini game. Big popups come up on the screen to notify you of what just happened. And this can become annoying especially if you know the rules of baseball. The players skin tones are all the same. Players will be able to see the difference of neatness on the field for different levels. The scoreboard can not be missed because it is so big. This game forces you to not stop looking because you will miss the action if you do. You can also see when a pitch is coming because the ball gets bigger when it comes towards you. Each level has its own setting which made it look like the developers took some time into making the game.

Controls
The controls of this game are just one little control, left click the mouse to hit the ball. The player may need to get under the ball so they can hit it farther, or may not touch it when it all comes to the plate. Each pitch can go anyplace it wants to. So the controls are great and is just one simple button to do, it is great and is not confusing. If you are having trouble, then focus really hard and you will be able to hit much better than before. Try to get the end of the bat to hit the ball by backing away from the plate. However, they get right back up. To not get out, just jam the plate and you wont hit far. If you get close to the plate, home runs cant be done. Players just need to be on the ball in this game. The pitcher will not wait for you and will just pitch. Remember, dont strike out.
