"Best Baseball Game EVER!"

I'm not really one for baseball games because they're too damn slow for one, and usually way too difficult. But this game I just picked up and started playing and never wanted to stop!

Graphics are amazing! When I played in the Rogers Center for the first time, seeing the CN Tower in the background, my jaw dropped. Players faces are ok, but could've been a little better. They could've added some expression instead of the dull, lifeless looks on their mugs. But on the plus side, most of the players actually look like their real life counterparts. The playing field looks great as well.

The sounds are excellent in this game. The crack of the bat is where it's at. Whether you're swinging normally, you'll get a nice "whiff" sound, and if you power swing, you get a really cool sounding thud. Some of the tracks that 2K picked out for this game are killer! Then again, that's just my opinion really because my taste of music will definitely differ from most. But come on, "Killing Joke" in a baseball game is just way too cool.

Gameplay. Oh yeah. Just killer. This is the most fun I've ever had in a baseball game. In most baseball games, you play a game and it takes forever! The Bigs gameplay is very fast paced and puts you on the edge of your seat. I won't go too much into detail about the turbo meter and the big blasts, but this is what sets the game apart from every other game. This is an arcade game you must remember, not a sim. There are several gametypes to play. The rookie challenge is my favorite. You create your own player, which is your rookie, and you play minigames and real games throughout the season while boosting up your character. VERY fun to do. Then there's the pinball mode which has you hitting balls in Times Square, breaking video billboards and neon signs as well as cars and other objects. This will rack up your points and allow you to see how well you do on the Xbox Live Leaderboards. Fun stuff! Oh, I have yet to play any games online, but I did hear that it is top notch multiplayer gaming.

I don't know what else to tell everyone. Go buy this game. If you're a lover of baseball or NOT, I highly recommend this to everyone!
