Game Freak 365 writes: "If you are like me, you firmly believe that sports games have gone the way of the World War II first person shooter: way too many of them, with too little variation. Enter The Bigs 2, a fast paced arcade-styled baseball game with a pretty promising concept, but a less than stellar delivery. Unfortunately, this game will be pushed back into my memory, only to be brought up when a customer asks me about it at my "real life" job. At which point, I'll probably just refer them to this review."
GameBrit writes: "For whatever reason, baseball has struggled to find a home outside the United States. Despite that, the game must have some fan support in Europe to warrant the release of the second edition of The Bigs.
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..."
It had been more than a decade since Eastbayri had played any type of arcade-style sports video game when "The Bigs 2" from 2K Sports came across their desk a couple weeks ago.
It might seem hard to believe, but they can still remember the 1999 night when they decided to write off this entire genre of game. Eastbayri and a good friend were playing "NFL Blitz" for the N64. They lost a game - nothing unusual - but from this point forward they carried with them a level of frustration that lasted into the new millennium.
