The Bigs (Wii)

The Big's is the first official MLB (major league baseball) title for the Nintendo Wii. It was released in the summer of 2007.

I am a huge fan of Wii Sports! I spend at least 15 minutes a day doing batting practice on this game. When I saw that MLB was putting out a Wii baseball game I was excited! I was gambling that MLB would not put their title on a sub-par game.

I was a bit surprised at the game when it came out. You get the option of pitching, fielding (you cannot do this in Wii Sports) and of course hitting. You also have the ability to actually field the ball, run the bases (pump the remote and steer with the nunchuk), and try to pick people off on the bases. All these options, surely the game cannot be bad!

I was wrong. :(

The "tutorial" mode was really hard. First up was pitching. You have many different types of pitches to choose from. However, you have to have your remote and nunchuk together at all times. Then you press the "z" button on the 'chuk, twist the remote certain way's, and oh ya do a throwing motion. Nothing like trying to master 3-5 different things to kill the idea of a game. :P

Batting was a bit easier to do. However, having the stupid 'chuk tied to the bat made it feel crappy and hard. I have spent hours doing a full batter's swing on Wii sports and now I'm forced to to little wrist flick's to do a motion. :P :( Very bad form.

Running was fun, fielding was difficult to get the hang of, and overall the game felt clunky to play.

I decided to have some friends over and we all tried the homerun hitting contest. You get to pick your team (Any National or American League team!) and then your player for the contest. Again it was tough to do because of the nunchuk. We eventually stopped playing and put back in Wii Sports to prove who was king of the homerun derby.

I was happy with a couple of things, frustrated by others, and surprised about one thing:

Happy:

Very current team lineups!
Ability to pick your player on the team.
Fielding ability.

Frustrated:

PITCHING! :(
Fielding
Hitting
(Wii Sports trained me well I guess)

Surprised:

Current Rock and Roll music during the homerun hitting derby! Here is a list of the songs/bands in the game! :)

"Plush" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Nearly Lost You" - Screaming Trees
"Oceans Size" - Jane's Addiction
"Millennium" - Killing Joke
"Tearing" - Rollins Band
"More Human than Human" - White Zombie
"Dreamworld" - Midnight Oil
"Hung Out to Dry" - Fu Manchu
"Ace of Spades" - Motörhead
"Down on the Street" - The Stooges
"Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" - Primus
"Somebody" - Blue October
"Insanity Rains" - Satellite Party
"Satisfied" - Highbench

A great idea that just didn't execute. Back to Blockbuster with this Title I go!

2/5.

This is a great arcade style baseball game- The controls using the remote and nunchuck are superb. The action is intense and makes the game of baseball exciting. There are several game modes and home run derby is fun with head to head action.

Great game would buy from again. Fast shipping just as described. Game was easy to play and my kids have enjoyed it. Great game for the wii.

Great game, great graphics and lots of fun to play. It is also very cool because it has all the real Major League teams.

This is a must have for the baseball fan. the players and the lifelike commentary is an excellent part of the game, its a little tough getting used to the controls but once you get it down, its time to play ball!

My husband and grandchildren love the game they play it all the time.The grafics are amazing its like playing areal baseball game.WE decided to buy it because my son in-law has the game and we played it and we all liked it

Lots of fun, especially with a group of friends. It has some quirks about it, but its still a pretty enjoyable game.

Solid game with great gameplay, and the rookie challenge is excellent. Would have rated it an excellent but the graphics are a little lacking.

I have wanted it for a VERY long time. The stadium graphics are great. It does employ the virtual movement of wii. I found the game VERY difficult. Even on easy the computer makes unfair moves that make it impossible to compete. BIG HEAT and POWER BLAST are impossible to defend. Maybe it was just me, but the computer NEVER had POWER BLAST unles there were runners on base, so no 3 run lead is safe. I didn't try 2 players, but i will say for the money; stick with the 2K8...it is much easier and seems to take less of an unfair advantage.

The seller was a great communicator he was sick and immediatlely told me and made up the time for me to receive my game the same day as expected by sending it priority mail more sellers should be like him.

excellent seller and communicator. got the game and was in excellent shape and I loved playing it. It was a little complicated at first but got the hang of it until I broke by left wrist. Now I have to wait 2 months to try again. Would tell anyone to buy from this seller. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND NICE ORDER AND IT WILL GO GREAT WITH MY SONS COLLECTION AND HE WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME LEARNING AND EXERSISEWHILE PLAYING

I got it for my kids and they love it,I myself have a little trouble playing it, it is fun to try.my kids

Overall a great 2K Product. Game play is easy and challenging to say the least. Authentic stadiums and also being in the Home Run Derby makes this game and excellent choice to buy and play.

i love the graphics...

a little hard to get used to the 2 controllers but i am working on it...


great fun and torture at the same time LOL

Game is awsome11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

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
