I'll start off by saying that I'm a huge fan of The Bigs. It's such a fun game with a ton of replay value, but was also, at times, extremely frustrating and challenging (I always play in super hard mode). Same goes for The Bigs 2. But what’s a game without frustrations and challenges? It's pretty much a jazzed up version of The Bigs, with loads of additions & changes. This review is aimed more towards those who've played The Bigs, but it's helpful for everyone.

There's now a Wheelhouse in the strike zone of every batter which serves as a good risk/reward. If you pitch it into the WH and the batter makes good contact, it's an automatic base hit. If you throw a strike in the batter's WH without the batter hitting it foul, the WH shrinks and you also get extra turbo opposed to just throwing a regular strike.

They also added a Big Slam, similar to the Big Blast, only the Big Slam is a 4-pitch rapid fire power up. This means you have 4 pitches to load the bases and blast a grand slam. If you have 1 runner on base, then you have 2 pitches to hit basehits and 2 pitches to hit a homerun. It's a pretty sweet addition, especially if you're behind. They still have the Big Heat power up, only this time you get 25K Big Play points for every strike and 25K for a Big Heat strikeout, so if you throw 3 strikes with no foul balls and get a strikeout, you end up nearly getting all of your Big Play points back. There's also no more stealing Big Play points from your opponent when using a Big Heat power up, which isn't really a big deal at all IMO. You need 100K Big Play points to use a Big Play power up and if you use a Big Blast power up, it's a guaranteed homer with any contact.

Another addition is instead of being allowed a max. of 5 stars for power, contact, glove, and speed, you can get your player up to Legendary status in any or all categories. If you're in the field and possess a Legendary glove, you can perform Legendary catches by successfully pulling off a certain button mini-game, depending on where the catch is in the field. If you successfully perform a Legendary catch, you receive 20K Big Play points.

They changed the 'Rookie Challenge' mode to 'Become A Legend' mode. Instead of starting in the Major Leagues as a rookie and working your way up, you start in the Mexican League because you got injured and have to work your way back up. They also added a ‘Season’ mode, which you can play a full MLB season with any team. They also messed around with the set difficulty. Instead of choosing just one difficulty at the start before you create your player and becoming stuck with that one difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard, Super Hard), you get the option to change the difficulty at any time during the season. Trust me, Super Hard can get beyond frustrating, especially when you're on the mound (You'll know what I'm talkin' about, hope you have good timing).

They’ve also added some new locations for Homerun Pinball, way better than just Times Square which got kind of boring.

If you’ve never played The Bigs 1 or 2, I’d recommend skipping the first and going right to the second, but that's your choice. The Bigs 2 is a really fun game; arcade baseball at it’s best. The replay value is relatively high since not one game is ever the same and you could play either mode with every team. Pick this game up for a good price here at good ol’ eBay and I guarantee you it’ll be a good addition to your collection. I’d rate it a solid 9/10.

I really wanted to play this game. So I bought it. And I played it. And I love it. It's a great game. It's fun. I would definitely buy it again as a gift for friends. I would recommend this game to others that like baseball.

It is a great game. Very fun and entertaining to play. Graphics and gameplay are both awesome!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves baseball. The game is not very realistic, considering you can jump onto to dugouts, and jump twenty feet into the air to rob a home run, but that's what makes the game so fun. Anyone looking for a good career mode, or just a fun thing to do with friends, I would say this game is for you. The online play is pretty good, except for the fact that every now and then it pauses for about half a second. The mini-games, and Become a Legend a Mode are both fun, and somewhat challenging. I would recommend this game.

great game. i loved it. played the demo for like 4 hours and i was hooked. had to have it. it madden meets blitz but baseball style! Known for its over-the-top style of gameplay, The BIGS 2 focuses on the "big" fast-paced moments in Major League Baseball with new opportunities to go up against MLB legends, more mini-games like Home Run Pinball, and a variety of other thrilling new features.

I purchased this game for my son and he loves it !!! The visual effects are spectacullar and very realistic. Would highly recommend to any baseball fan!!

How its like regular baseball an yet has its own way of getting peoples attention with the special effects in the game! And it's the best baseball game out there so go an get your copy!

I love the game its awesome what i dislike is i will be up all night playing LOL.I bought it because i love playing BB games.I did not have this one and my kids love it too

Game was not as i expected, i had in mind something a bit more realistic, but i guess i am satisfied

I was excited to see that the seller was available to discuss about the product and answer question, not to mention an unbeatable deal.

My husband loves this game. Very similar to a baseball game on ps2, but has alot better graphics! I would highly reccomend this game for baseball fans!

game i was looking for,good price.he had excellent feedback. sharon.sounds like a fair perdon. sharon. would buy again. sharon

It is one of the very few good baseball games that is made now a days where you have a lot of fun playing it and that it never gets boring.

i recieved the video game very fast and without no problems. i would definietly recommend buying from this seller. there was no hesitation or problems from the time that i purchased the game. the seller has been a pleasure to deal with and would buy from again.

Definitely, the best baseball game to date out in the market for the XBOX 360 console.
Great graphics, nice effects (usually baseball games don´t have many), and supports up to four players at once. Becoming a good game to play with the whole family.

very good transaction on time and will do more business. Nothing wrong with the game. Plays perfect and still in its original package.I decided to buy the Bigs 2 for my son this is his early christmas gift.

sorry I don´t speak english, compre el juego de beisbol bigs 2 y todo esta perfecto,con la calidad de un juego x box

This game rocks with a friend. Very easy to learn and it has a fun arcade style play...like:NBA JAM or BLITZ!

The computer can be annoying as they catch almost any hit (unless it's a no doubter).

The mini games for catching legendary catches are very fun.

Def better than the bigs 1.

This game has excellent graphics and is fun to play. If you want a realistic MLB simulation game, this is not what you are looking for. This is more of an arcade style baseball game. There are a lot of cool features which can change a game quickly, and the online gaming is also good. I played the demo and liked this game and decided to buy it. Not worth more than about $35.

I love the graphics in this game, i decided to buy it bcuz i wanted it for a long time, and the price was excellent.

I bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.
