The Lowdown:Baseball with a fresh twist.Updated mechanics and new game modes add for a great experience.Something casual, hardcore, and even non baseball fans can enjoy.
If you’re looking for an authentic baseball experience, turn around and stop here.This game is not for you.However, if you’re looking for a fresh spin on America’s pastime, then you’re in the right place. Imagine the Majors where everyone was forced to take some ridiculously potent steroids. This is more or less the experience you will have with The Bigs 2. I have witnessed a friend, who has no interest in baseball, grow an addiction to the game. Maybe it will have the same luring effect on you. While I prefer a more authentic Baseball experience, the new gameplay and “enhancements” in this title make it a blast to play nonetheless. Every game is full of flashy, highlight reel plays and out of the park Home Runs.

Remember those glamour shots girls, and some guys, at your high school took at the mall and passed them around as a memento for everyone to keep in their wallets/purses?You know, the ones with the color splash backdrop and crappy lighting with bloom effect added in post?

I had a chance to play this game and loved it. It is definitely one of the best arcade titles out there to date.
