Those expecting a simulation of America's biggest waste of time will be stunned. The game is more a collection of Quicktime events, meters where timing is central and tons of minigames. Will 2K Games be able to create a hype in our soccer-loving country or will it be a strike-out?"
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.
