The Bigs 2 may not be the perfect baseball game, but it delivers enough pure fun to keep you playing with your friends for hours. Become A Legend starts fun and gets more and more annoying the deeper you get. The mini-games serve the game well for the most part, even if some feel out of place. There's no doubt that The Bigs 2 is an improvement over the original with bigger and louder mechanics built into the gameplay that help enhance things on the field.

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.
