The Bigs 2 is not the typical sport simulation; instead it attempts to take an arcade spin on the traditional game. Hits, pitches, catches and runs and are all presented in an over the top manner that ensures this baseball title doesn't fall into the same dull trap as other more faithful sports titles..."
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.
