  1. The BIGS 2 comes through huge. It's still the game that it was meant to be, it's got a season mode and it's still baseball as opposed to a sideshow. The new version is deeper and a little more polished, and that's more than can be said about most sports games.
  2. The Bigs 2 is a fun arcade style game with big league features that is sure to entertain even the most fair weather fan.

    There’s no doubt that The Bigs 2 is an improvement over the original with bigger and louder mechanics built into the gameplay that help enhance things on the field.
  4. A more rounded approach would have been welcome and perhaps a lesser emphasis on giving the computer dozens of legendary catches a game would let some players just enjoy the Bigs 2 and play baseball for fun, which is how it should be.

    The Bigs 2 is an improvement over the first as well as an overall better game than MLB 09 The Show. The fast pace and arcade style make it more of a video game than a baseball "simulation" and that's a really good thing. Expand

    6/10 a fun rental for about a day or two that's about it here guys it's 100% arcade. They developed some smart ideas pitching wise and hitting wise hot zones shrink as strikes add up and get bigger as balls are pitched smart other than that not much here Expand
