There might not be a Season or Franchise mode, but the arcade style of The Bigs is an extremely fun way to play a quick game or two of baseball. Extremely accessible and engaging, The Bigs captures the excitement of the big time plays that dominate baseball highlights perfectly.

Big strikeouts and even bigger homers make The BIGS a great arcade baseball game.

It's a little thin on game modes, but the career mode is a kick, as is going head-to-head against a buddy or two. There are far worse ways to spend your summer.

Five years have passed since Midway introduced modern arcade-style baseball to consoles with the release of the first incarnation of the MLB Slugfest series. They proceeded to advance the genre by releasing yearly installments of the series until recently. When details of The Bigs first emerged, many expected 2K Sports and Blue Castle Games to target the void left by MLB Slugfest with this release. Playing just a few innings of The Bigs, however, will quickly convince you that this game aims not to merely replace MLB Slugfest, but to carve its own niche in the world of sports gaming.
