Amazon.com Product Description

The Big Leagues just got bigger. The Bigs 2 allows fans to experience heroic gameplay, legendary game modes and incredible player models like they've never seen before. Elevating The Bigs 2 to new heights are bigger power-ups, amazing visual effects, and an all new career mode. Featuring exciting player animations and pick-up-and-play controls, The Bigs 2 delivers an action-packed, heroic MLB video game experience. The Wheelhouse Along with most of the features that players enjoyed from the original game, The Bigs, players of The Bigs 2 will enjoy new features including the 'Batter's Wheelhouse,' an area in every batter's swing where their offensive threat is at its greatest. Color-coated and pulsating for both the batter and pitcher to see, balls struck well within this area are most likely to result in a hit, but there are no guarantees. Although it is a dangerous place for pitchers to throw, the Wheelhouse is also a tempting spot for pitchers to challenge hitters since not only do strikes result in the shrinking of a player's wheelhouse, but strikes and strikeouts centered there will earn the defensive team turbo points that can be used elsewhere in the game. Key Features Epic Arcade Baseball Action - Larger-than-life gameplay, stadiums and player models provide a truly heroic baseball experience. Batter’s Wheelhouse - Pitches thrown into the Batter’s Wheelhouse are more likely to be launched into the next time zone, but sneaking a pitch past the hitter will shrink his wheelhouse for the rest of the game. Do you have the guts to pitch into the Batter’s Wheelhouse? Legend Challenge - Unique story mode allows users to pit their created player against MLB legends past and present as they strive for a World Series championship and MVP trophy.

Product Description

It's the last stop. The final destination. The BIG SHOW. It's where dreams born in backyards are finally realized. Where the fences are FARTHER. The grandstands are LARGER. And the spotlight is BRIGHTER. It's where thieves run FASTER, pitchers throw HARDER and the sluggers go DEEPER. Where the bats are BIGGER, the spikes are SHARPER and the comebacks are harder to swallow. It's where home runs are RUTHIAN and fastballs CATCH FIRE. It's where a monster lurks in left. Where bombers terrorize the night. And where the confines aren't always so friendly. It's THE BIGS 2.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gets boring really fast., October 29, 2009

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Bigs 2 (Video Game)

I got a chance play this over the weekend and its a decent game of arcade style ball but where the game drops the ball is there is no season mode. You get the legend mode which is alright but nothing that is going to make this game anything better.

Pitching and hitting is easy enough to get used to and to play a few games is pretty fun actually. Where the game falls apart is there is really no single player replay value. Remember being a kid and not wanting to do your chores because they were repetitive and boring. Well thats where this game falls into after a few times playing. The only redeeming quality you are going to find is pretty much if you have a friend that likes baseball games and you can play this game together.

But, for someone that is mainly a single player gamer you might as well look somewhere else. Graphically it looks decent but far from great. Where the graphics actually shine is the stadiums look pretty good. This may not be the best review in the world for this game but its really not my fault. After playing this game I no longer possess the ability to have motivation.
