I got The BIGS over the weekend for my Xbox 360 and got a quick chance to play it so I will only give overall impressions so far and will score some heavy hours in and then give you all a full review.
The game is as advertised an over the top version of baseball in every way. The hitting and pithcing are exagerated, you gain turbo for striking guys out or getting base hits and then can use that turbo for super moves. You can make some pretty spectacular catches to rob homeruns, this becomes an exercise in getting the right sequence of buttons if not the ball goes off your fielders glove for a homer.
Aside from the quick pick up games you can also play Homerun pinball and create a rookie and build him up from the ground up. Both options so far are pretty interesting and should provide some good fun.
I am looking forward to the rookie campaign where you take your player form chump to superstar. So far the graphics are very crisp and the gameplay is fun, although I got wrecked my first game out by 20 runs! Call up your friends and let the smack talk begin, should be fun ovver Xbox Live as well.
