The Bigs: Blue Castle Games, Visual Concepts and 2k Sports Strike Out Big Time!

When it comes to shoddily produced and developed, professional sports games that fray from the standard simulation variety, you will always hear me bitching about it! For two reasons: one they are never as good as their simulation counterparts; and two: they want sixty bucks for a half-assed game. Well, this notion rings true to life when it comes to the baseball flop, The Bigs for the Xbox 360. The game features ridiculously oversized, bobble head like players with childish controls and no real narrative with the exception to goofiness. Sure, the graphics are really spicy, the plays are easy to pull off and the game is really cartoon-like and arcade styled, but that does not equation to a hit game by any means. The fact of the matter is that most lovers of sports and sports games want something true to the nature of the game, and not this arcade crap! In the end, most people will prefer a more realistic baseball game then this type of game which, in comparison, is very remedial.

“If you like cartoon baseball and an easy game that is nothing like the real thing, like NFL Street, then you will love this game; which features great graphics and an easy to use interface. However, if you are like most fans of baseball and want the whole enchilada, this game is certain to disappoint!”

My Score: 5 out of 10
