  • Summary: This over-the-top baseball action title puts an entirely new spin on Major League Baseball as it blends outrageous visuals and intuitive gameplay mechanics to bring fans a brand new MLB video game experience. Fans redefine the baseball highlight reel by performing dramatic wall grabs, spectacular diving plays, and epic homeruns. Unique and intuitive gameplay controls deliver a new baseball experience, while advanced power-up mechanics add exciting depth with each turn. Turbo gameplay raises the action bar, and culminates in the ultimate batter pitcher power-up duel, where either the pitcher's Big Heat will be the turning point, or the batter’s Power Blast will be the explosive end to the game. In The BIGS, every play is a big play. Each MLB player has been individualized to emphasize their extraordinary athletic attributes. The development team paid great attention to detail to portray a player's face and physical characteristics so baseball fans will easily recognize their favorite players. To deliver the authentic MLB atmosphere, stadium landmarks have been stylized to highlight the unique architecture of each MLB ballpark. Whether it's the glove at San Francisco's AT&T Park resized to mammoth proportions or the left field wall in Boston's Fenway Park made into a real "Green Monster," gamers will be in awe at the grandeur of each stadium in The BIGS.

    The Bigs brings tons of great ideas to life and gives players a much more fast-paced and fun game of baseball. While the problems are apparent, the overall package is solid enough for fans to enjoy a game of baseball without having to labor through hours of gameplay.

    The small pitfalls of graphics and lack of modes (including online) could easily be overlooked if the controls held up, but they don’t. It’s so uneven and just plain laggy that you end up fighting the game rather than playing it.

    The main problem with this game is that the controls are not as polished as they could have been and lack of online mode hurts it.

    The Bigs on Wii is the very definition of fun-but-flawed gameplay.

    It's really fun, the players actually have the same stanes and swings as they do in real-life. It is fun for the whole family !!!

    Very good arcade game. If your looking for graphics and authentic gameplay buy MLB The Show. This is a very fun game to play against someone.

    Although it's really shallow and most of the control needs work, some parts of this game border on genius and this is a great taste of what is to come on Wii. Pitching has an intuitive control that really brings you into the game, and I really hope they develop it further. Batting is too easy and should take swing location into account. Throwing the ball is horrible ... you will revert to the old standby of just pushing the direction on the command cross. If they had combined that with a throwing motion on the remote, fielding would have been a completely different story. The worst part of the game is actually the home runs ... both the automatic ones, and the regular ones which the outfielders always seem to be able to reach.… Expand

    This game is way to hard too play hammered. I do not advise it.
