Todd Zuniga 1UP	June 25, 2007 - Excellent - The cocky presentation is fantastic, it looks great (especially the crowds), it plays great, and it just might make you smarter than a session of Brain Age. The Bigs isn't just an absolute hoot -- it's also the best current-gen baseball game money can buy. Full Review


Chris Buffa GameDaily	June 27, 2007 - Good - Despite the off the wall shenanigans and gorgeous special effects, The Bigs doesn't have enough features to justify its high price. Wait for a price drop, or make it the perfect weekend rental. Full Review


Aaron Thomas GameSpot	June 26, 2007 - Good - With its simple, yet exciting gameplay, The BIGS has gotten off to a great start. It's a bit shallow, with some room for improvement in regards to how it plays in the field and on the base paths, but anyone looking for a fun, arcade-style baseball game would do well to give The BIGS a shot. Full Review


Steve Steinberg GameSpy	June 16, 2007 - Good - If you like your sports action a little on the lighter side, definitely take a look at The Bigs. 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. Full Review


Jeff Haynes IGN	June 25, 2007 - Good - 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. Full Review


Nicolus Baslock Game Positive	July 19, 2007 - Mediocre - Perhaps another year will do this game justice, but for this season, The Bigs just feels minor league. Full Review


Shaun McInnis GamesRadar	June 25, 2007 - Mediocre - Considering that those arcadey enhancements are what's supposed to make this game unique, we can't help but feel casual fans would be better off playing MLB 2K7 on easy difficulty. Full Review
