  • 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.

    NBA Street Homecourt set the next-gen standard for arcade sports games. The Bigs is just as fun, at least. It amps up all baseball's best bits in a hurried, joyous affair.

    In the end, though, 2K made the right move to give casual fans a baseball game they can easily pick up and play with their friends.

    The Online mode suffers from some noticeable lag.

    Despite the bleh reviews, I went and bought this game and I have to say it's great. I haven't sat down and played a game for over 2 hours in one sitting in a long time and despite not being a baseball fan, this one is very entertaining!… Expand

    Really enjoyed this game at first, but the long boring trek through the game's Career mode only brought out the worst in it. You find yourself doing the same things over and over, loading up the bases and saving up your Power meter so you can score some RBI's with your Rookie. And if you want to unlock all the achievements you have to play through it twice, once with a NL team and once with an AL team. No thanks.… Expand
