It’s our favorite baseball game of the season, even if it’s really just an action game dressed up in pinstripes.

Game Chronicles

I have been a fan of the Slugfest titles from the very beginning, but always wished the games were a bit less ridiculous. The Bigs 2 is that game I was looking for – one that amps up the action without going overboard.

It’s a great party game and a lot of fun with friends, and would be a great deal of fun for a baseball-savvy gamer or someone looking to dip their toes into an arcade-style sports title.

IGN

The Bigs 2 on Wii isn’t a bad game, it just isn’t nearly as exciting or fun as its cousins on PS3 and Xbox 360. Many of the features – Big Heat, Big Slam, wheelhouse zones, legendary catches – are still intact, but it was clearly a rough conversion to Wii controls.

Nintendo Power

Like a middling baseball team, The Bigs 2 provides a fun diversion for those lazy Sunday afternoons, but it's unlikely to hold your attention all summer. [Aug 2009, p.90]

Great game, with tons of improvements on the already incredible arcade style baseball game. One of the few games I would consider worth the 60 bucks.
