Newly crowned Home Run Derby champion Prince Fielder lends his portly frame to 2K Sports sequel to its wildly popular arcade baseball franchise, featuring improvement in their Home Run Pinball and Become a Legend modes.

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.

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.
