Washington Post Review
For those who find baseball a little slow and boring (like me), The Bigs takes America's pastime and ratchets up the action, making it fun to play on any console. In this game, everything is fittingly larger-than-life, including the players, who all look like hulking steroid users (not that there's steroid use in baseball). To be fair, the licensed stadiums have been transformed into huge coliseums that feature interactive backdrops, such as a scoreboard that explodes when hit with a ball. The game's manufacturer, 2K Sports, uses the term "heroic" to describe the huge players, and the look (which is incredibly detailed on next-gen consoles) serves a purpose, since hitting balls out of the park is an integral part of the game.
