This game great for pickup and play interactive baseball. The control scheme is one of the best on the Wii. The Bigs is not for the baseball elite taht want reality gaming. If you enjoy big homeruns, fast action and great two player baseball this is your game.

Love the graphics. Very easy to navigate thru menus. What I dislike, maybe it's me, but fielding and throwing the ball to a certain base is not easy,you have to tilt the remote right for 1st, up for 2nd, left for 3rd, and down for home, but when you do that, the ball never leaves the fielder hand to go too that base. I feel using the directional arrows on the remote would have made more sense. Also to pitch, you have to tilt the remote up, then down. This is a wii, and sense it is based on interaction, just like the baseball on wii sports, a throwing motion while holding down a button for that certain pitch, would have worked better. Overall, the game is average, and could use some improvement.

I have read a lot of reviews that knock this title, well it is not intended to be that type of game. You might as well have knocked it for not involving a crossbow or treasure map! The Bigs is supposed to be a fun, arcade style, game where you can "make it in the Bigs" as a rookie.

I will admit that the pitching wasn't easy at first. But after a actually trying, it is very, very aesy to throw different pitches. Same with robbing a HR, once you figure out how to do it, it makes the game that much rewarding. I think because of these features, the game becomes more "replayable".

I love the fact you can create your own player, and upgrade him as the game goes by, and all of the mini games included in the games to the post season. I always played these games on other games, but now the game tells me my mission. Much better than trying to score 100 runs in the first inning on RBI baseball for NES. You can also go head to head, and trade players to update rosters during the next year. Cool game, but even better if you guys would learn to use the wiimote.

This is my 6 year old's favorite game. So it is simple enough for him, then the rest of us who complain about the controls are too old.

My only problem is the pitching which involves twisting the remote. No matter how I twist, I never can throw the curve or other special pitches. I drives me nuts. Otherwise it is an entertaining game for kids and parents to play together. Other than my issues with the pitching motion, it is easy and becomes intuitive very quickly.

In comparision to Madden '08, BIGS is easy to learn and play the game.

I decided to buy it because I like the game. I am a huge baseball fan (and a bigger Cubbies fan :-) ).

The game-play on the Wii is not too bad, it has a very arcade like feeling to it.

If your looking for a very accurate game like MLB 2k5/6/7, this is not the game for you.
But if your a die hard baseball and don't mind being able to get robbed of an HR in Wrigley Field (20ft high walls), then try this game out.

As with every game your not sure about, rent it first and if you like it enough to buy it, go for it.

Bought for 24 yr old son and he loves it! More challenging as to getting players to do what you want them to do and quickly turns into a great game for two players also.

the graphics in bigs was awsome, but i did have a hard time getting around in the game, if you can manage to figure out the game with the manual, im sure you would have a great time playing

The Bigs is a great game. Great graphics, great fun, and great gameplay. From the get go I was impressed to see how well the pitching and the batting was incorporated with the movement of the wii-stick, but once it comes to throwing the ball to different bases it was difficult at first. After like a week of non stop playing I did get the hang of flicking the joy stick to throw to the 1st base, 2nd base, etc. but there was still moments when I wanted to throw to 2nd base but it goes to the 3rd basemen. This pretty much pissed me off along with the wacky effect that a outfielder can do a Jackie Chan wall push off 15-25 ft in the air to get a home run bound ball. But the game is fun, I played non stop and I do kind of like the rookie challenge. Problem with that is the rookie edit doesn't have a lot of choices to pick from so if my rookie goes against your rookie very good chance that they'll look the same.

The was the first Wii offering to have actual baseball players in a real game format. The hitting interface is pretty good. I find the pitching to be at times impossible and certainly frustrating. Compared to MVP baseball, 2K6, and other games I've played on the Game Cube platform- the Bigs just doesn't measure up.

Here's the thing we this game, its takes your first few exhibition games to get used to the controls. Also starting a Rookie Challenge helps with this. It may seem like cumbersome controls, steep learning curves, and poor graphics.

But then you're skills start showing up and you're putting up homers and blazing sliders against some of the hardest competition ever.

And thats when the fun begins. If you like playing as your favorite team and going around the league whooping the other 31 teams, this game is for you.

If it had online play this game would get 5 stars, but alas hopefully The Bigs 2 will.

I was on the bubble to put it on average or good and i put it on good. its a whole lot of fun to play. the graphics are decent. if a big graphic guy u dont want it. but gameplay is superb. wall catches may get u mad. but collisions at home OMG! there great!

Graphics: 7/10
The graphics are above average and they are smooth. There is nothing that makes this game stand out as next gen though.

Sound: Great – 7/10
The music soundtrack is great, but the in game sounds and commentary is repetitive.

Gameplay: Great – 7/10
Smooth animations, great single player mode, and fast arcade style, this is a fun game to pick up an play.

Replay Value – Above Average 7/10
This is a good arcade style baseball game. It is fast paced, but gets old quick. Playing with others is the only benefit to this game.

Overall – 7/10
This is a good, fast, arcade style baseball game, but it doesn't break any molds here. The power-up meter, and single player campaign make this game fun, and slightly addictive. Check it out.

While I was excited to play this because it's the first baseball game for Wii, I was disappointed because there is no franchise or season mode. There is only a Rookie Challenge and that lasts only one season. In addition, you have to make sure to set the length of the game to 9 innings and sometimes it goes back to the default 5 innings while you are in the process of creating your rookie. Overall I was very displeased with this game. Hopefully Wii will come out with a better baseball game very shortly.

A HUGE step in the right direction for sports games on the Wii game system. The controls take a lot of coordination, but hey, if you want a baseball game that doesn't take any, you could just keep playing the sports package that came with your system....

I just purchased this game and at first really did not like it. Batting was different from Wii sports, fielding seemed difficult, and it seemed like the computer just crushed me when I pitched to them. However, after going through the tutorial and playing a ton with a couple friends we decided this is quite possibly one of the best baseball games we have ever played.

Hitting:
Once you figure out the "touch" with the nunchuck, hitting is excellent. With a good contact hitter (eg: Ichiro, GO M'S!!!) and a standard swing, once you get your timing down you can hit it to any part of the field. Just aim a direction with the nunchuck and swing at the right time and it should work. Pointing upwards with it results in a fly ball while pointing down with the nunchuck will cause grouders. Hold A and point upwards to swing for the fences.

Pitching:
With pitching, there are 9 total pitches, and each pitcher has a selection of 2-4 of them, depending on their real-life arsenal of pitches, and their relative skill with them. To pitch you hold down the button for the pitch you want and swing/twist the remote the direction required for the pitch. Releasing the pitch it the "white zone" of the pitch meter (it is pretty much like the swing meter for most golf games) will result in a perfect pitch that has more speed or break, depending on the pitch. Releasing too soon or too late will result in the pitch location showing on the batter's hitting box, making it easy for them to see if its a ball or strike and where it is going to be in the strike zone. It seems unweildy a bit at first, but once again, when you get your timing down it is fluid and fun. Plus, every time you hit a particular pitch off of someone, say their curveball, that pitch will lose stamina. If you get the pitch's stamina down to zero, then that pitcher no longer can throw that pitch. Another thing that is awesome is pitches don't lose stamina unless they are being hit, so if your pitcher has been lights out for 7 innings, odds are most of his pitches still have plenty of stamina in them and you have a good chance to go for a complete game.

Fielding:
Fielding is the hardest part of the game to get used to. Drumming the remote while directing your fielder makes him run faster in any direction. Pushing the d-pad on the remote or holding A and flicking a direction can throw the ball to a base. I prefer the d-pad method, but I like that it has an option. When you don't have the ball, holding A and flicking in a direction can cause a dive (left, right, or down for forwards) or if you flick upwards your guy will jump up for a ball. It takes a lot of practice to get used to, but once you rob someone of a game winning home run, it is completely worth it.

Other:
Another addition to the game is the Big Play meter. Build up 10000 points from hitting, pitching, and defense, and your team gets a "big play" while hitting or pitching. When hitting, it results in Power Mode where any contact is a homerun if you have the timing down. In pitching, it results in Big Heat, where all the pitches get full stamina and power, and any strikes you throw that at bat will still your opponents points from their big play meter.

All in all a great game, full rosters, create-a-character, and fun, realistic gameplay where the over-the-top elements just add to the game. Wait until your first showdown with a catcher at the plate and see if you're not having fun.

I bought this game because I love baseball and most of the time I play by myself so I was looking for a game that was more fun for a single player. This one fits that category perfectly. Many people have said that the controls are hard well yeah it's gonna be hard if it's more realistic. That's what the wii is all about. Also, I've seen that many people complain that there is no regular season or franchise mode. Well in this game there is a rookie challenge mode where you create your own player and go through the entire season including spring training, all star break, playoffs and all and the object is to get your rookie and your team to the top. In other words, rookie challenge is like regular season mode only more real than ever like the real game. I love this game and hope everyone sees it this way. Good luck and happy playing.

This game is the best game that I have played on the Nintendo Wii. I like the challenging pitching and the explosive hitting! It is also a great workout!

I rented this game and loved it. The problem is the controls have a bit of a learning curve so after playing it for a few days, when I played my friends they got destroyed. The only other drawback is the lack of a season mode. The only options are homerun derby which is great, exhibition, or quick game. For single player gaming it would be much more fun to start a season. Great game, excellent use of the controls (so many types of pitches to throw with intuitive wiimote), and lots of fun! I hate the Yankees! Computer assist allows the computer to catch up even when your pounding the other team. Love the Twins!

Loved the ability to pick teams, players etc; Had to practice but got the hang of it after a bit. Wish you'd have the option of dumping the nunchuk for batting. Overall a very visually and physically stimulating game, not meant to be as easy as Wii sport. Practice and it'll be loads of fun, don't and you'll be frustrated.

This is not Wii Sports! This is not for the "I have never played a game crowd" that thinks swinging a remote is all that is needed to have fun. This game has more substance to it. The tutorial is not hard. The game is not hard. But you must take time and practice. My wife has never played a game and loves it.

I would say that if your new to games, stick to wii sports b/c is requires no skill or coordination. If you want something with substance and are tired of the gimmicky remotes, choose this games.

As for the person complaining about "no season mode" read reviews on IGN or Gamespot before you purchase. I knew this be4 I got the game and I was ok with it. I would prefer season, but I was happy w/o it.

I hope this helps.

This is an awesome if you like baseball. The pitching is a little hard but you can get the hang of it. Batting is very fun and easy, and fielding is awesome because you can dive and steal home runs. This is a must have for the Wii!!
