The Bigs 2 isn't necessarily a bad game of baseball, but it just doesn't pack enough new content to make it worthwhile for those who invested in The Bigs the first go-round. It would have been nice if the developers had taken the time to port some of the cooler features from the console versions as well as added some PSP-centric mini-games. As it stands, those who didn't play The Bigs on PSP might want to give this one a try, but everyone else should steer clear.

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.
