Fielding also ends up as a sore spot. Again, the d-pad would be perfect for throwing to each base, yet an inconsistent and frustrating motion in time with the release of the A button is needed to complete the task at hand. You’ll miss far too easy outs at first.
The Wii edition also drops two features from other current generation versions. Online play will be the deal breaker for those looking for tighter competition once the occasionally aggravating AI takes over. The second deletion is the Home Run Pinball mode, a fun mini-game placing batters in Times Square to deal out damage on New York’s lights.
Even with the oddball control setup, it remains the advantage the Wii version carries with it over counterparts on the PS3 and 360. Hitting a button is no replacement for actually swinging the Remote or physically flinging a slider right past Alex Rodriguez. The other choices, or lack thereof, keep it on equal ground.
The Bigs is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Mild Violence. This game can also be found on: PS2, PS3, PSP, and Xbox 360.
