parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Little League World Series 2010 is a wholesome and sweet-hearted, but still thoroughly fun and enjoyable baseball game. Kids can edit their own teams and uniforms, and teams consist of both boys and girls. There's a lot of focus on teamwork and sportsmanship, but each team does have a "star player" with a special skill. If kids are having any trouble playing, they should definitely go through the in-game training regimen (tutorials), which should help immensely.
Educational value:
The commentators will fill you in on interesting bits of baseball lore and history between innings.
Positive role models:
The LIttle Leaguers here are all eager, earnest athletes, which makes them good role models for the young kids that might play this game. Because the characters in the game are kids, children will easily relate to them.
Ease of play:
If you dive right into a full game, you might have difficulty figuring out the controls, but if you take the time to play through the in-depth training mode, you'll see how easy and simple it all really is. This is a tutorial that will not just explain what buttons to press, but genuinely make you better at the game.
Violence:
When a player uses a special power-up, he or she may appear "on fire" -- symbolically surrounded by flames.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

I waited so long and I am so dissappointed
This game is horrible! I was so mad after playing this game compared to the Nintendo game I played back in the 90's. Its not real at all. This game should have more than nine players on the team, that way you can use the LL rules to substitute players! A real LL team has up to 14 players and every kid must play a certain amount of innings. Another problem with the game is the fact that you cannot steal a base and there are no wild pitches. If they could add these things in along with Online Head to Head play, this would be the most awesome game to play. But the video game world fails us again. I am LL coach and I was really hoping for a game with more real features.
