Now before we start I would like to add it's not a simulation of baseball; it's more of an arcade game with some real crazy moves and catches. The Bigs 2 adds new features and game mechanics but is it enough to make it a solid improvement over the original? The Bigs 2 isn't really a game that is career-focused that allows you to play for days on end. The Bigs is a barrel of fun and is about sitting down with a friend or against the AI and just having a laugh with your favorite baseball players; and in that area the game delivers."
A fan of The Bigs 2, Flynn from Leviathyn.com talks about how much he'd love to see the return of an arcade-style sports game in The Bigs 3.
Justin Lacey offers up some historical video game examples of how to improve the sport of baseball.
The only worthwhile addition to the game is "Become a Legend" where you take a slugger from obscurity to the Hall of Fame. This is great for a while, but after the 26th time your potential home run is caught by yet another 30ft diving catch you'll be left in controller-throwing frustration. It's then you realise The Bigs 2 is excellent against mates or for a blast online, but its arcade style means it's not best suited to longer game modes.
