Play Games at AddictingGames

Controls: Same as the previous game, Move mouse to aim bat, Mouseclick to swing and select options on menus.

Difficulty: Hard

Objective: The same style-game as Pinch Hitter: (A backyard-style game of baseball, in which you need to try and hit the ball with your bat and score as many points as you can. Hit 'x2' signs to score double points on your shot, and make sure you hit the ball and aren't caught out.), but now with many challenges to complete, all of which earning you points.

Rating: 3/5 - Like the name would suggest, Pinch Hitter 2 is the sequel to Pinch Hitter, a well-made game with few faults, except for the small amount of things to actually do, in the game. Now, that problem has been seen to, as there are many challenges to complete, all of which earning you points. To add to this, if you are a real Baseball fan, you can play as your favourite team, as your favourite player (or yourself), and customize your team colours. Unfortunately, I do feel that the game itself has become harder and less enjoyable to play because of it, as well as feeling a lot more formal, and less insincere (fun) than the original. Seeing as it is a sequel, the game isn't as original as the first, and although this can't be helped, it still dents the games appeal.

Games Master Challenge: Complete all of the challenges.
