4.0 out of 5 stars 2K Baseball.......... July 6, 2007

By Eric C. Munch

Platform for Display:PlayStation 3

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I was fairly concerned if this game would be a good investment before it was released. The previews and trailers for it were very impressive, but I am loyal to the show for the simple fact that the gameplay is flat out better. The Bigs was released and has the same gameplay as the original 2K Baseball sim, but with this particular game the gameplay works. The whole problem with MLB 2k7 is that the gameplay is an arcade style on a simulation style game. The gameplay for that perfectly matches the arcade style format for The Bigs.
Pros: Excellent Graphics, interesting characters, unique player movements, and the HOMERUN PINBALL mode is very entertaining to the point of being addictive.
Cons: No Season or Franchise mode, hitting homeruns outside of your powerup is harder than it should be. (I'm not saying that it's hard, but it's not as easy as it should be)

I very cool game to rent for a week to play yourself or to own for multiplayer purposes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best arcade baseball game ever August 1, 2007

By Alwin I. Kurniadi

If you are tired of the same old baseball game than this is the game for you. It doesn't go through the boring 162 game season, but gives you objectives to finishing the game. The graphics are great, the special animation is awesome and it is just great fun. The only complaint I have is playing defense. The game mechanics responds a little slow when playing defense. But overall the game is great fun with a lot of extras.

I love this game, unlike other games out there. The learning curve is short, I was up and playing without reading the manual. The game is easy to play and fun for all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Logging a Lot of Time on This Game December 31, 2008

By Daniel G. Lebryk TOP 50 REVIEWER

Platform for Display:PlayStation 3

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

My son is a baseball fanatic, not video game, but playing the real thing. He has logged a ton of time with this game. This is an arcade style game, nothing terribly realistic about it (guessing the MLB games are more like watching real live baseball). He likes the whole turbo pitch and hit concept. Scoring a ton of runs. The homerun derby prize.

The graphics are decent. Controls are dirt simple. Learning curve is very small.

Given that this game is on deep sale right now, it's a very good bargain. I call it a great investment, many hours of fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars FUN, FUN, FUN!! October 20, 2008

Wow,This game takes me back to good old arcade days! this game is so easy to play. Not like all these newer games which have to many controls to mess with. Dont get me wrong, its not cheesy. I love The Power up feature and the special features you can use in the field. The Graphics are cool too! the only draw back is you cant play a season or at least if you can i havent figured it out yet. Lots of fun!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better then expected January 7, 2009

By J. Sheedy

Platform for Display:PlayStation 3

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

The game had not been out that long, and was already in the cheap bin, so I was expecting a below average game. I picked it up anyway, and i am glad I did. If you like baseball I would suggest picking it up.

I won't go into great detail as others have, but to me it was well worth the smaller price tag.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Bigs May 29, 2008

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

its a fun game for a while, but it gets old pretty fast, completing the rookie challenge is not as difficult as it could have been, but for a arcade style baseball game to play with friends, or online, i would say that it is worth it to pick it up, and overall a fun game play experience.
