I only played the demo and never tried the Home Run Pinball mode. I'd like to give this one a rent and see how good/bad it really is.

This game really isn't intended to appease the majority of people that are on these boards. It will never really be a hit with our crowd.

Having said that, I had a great time with the last game for about a week. I mean a truly great time. But I got bored of it rather quickly.

I played it for quite a while. I think a good sports game is a good sports game though.

I think this game will be a blast, and a great distraction from the sim baseball games. I like the fact that they didn't just spit out a sequel in a year, but instead took two years develop it. They added a season mode, which is nice as well. But where the first game really shined was in multi player. It was so much fun to talk trash and hit bombs, that I can't wait for Bigs 2 to come out.

I enjoyed it, just got kinda tired of the offline career mode they had. Looks like they have a season mode and a different career mode that should make the single player aspect more deep.

Fun game though!

the bigs was a great game. but i bought it at 9.99. at 59.99 it probably isn't. home run pinball was cool to me. i really liked it.

the surprising thing was it actually played a technically sound game of baseball considering its main appeal.

i hope this one is good. i will be buying it when the price drops to the 29 to 39 range.

No behind the pitcher cam? i am amazed that they didn't put it in . Mario sluggers has it for goodness sake. and every baseball game does now as well and pretty much many arcade baseball game have them too like power pros etc...I just can not look at the batters box while pitching its unrealistic even if its an arcade title. they're lazy...

I actually thought HomeRun Pinball was one of the most fun baseball modes I had played. We would have a blast doing that.

# 10 CPRoark @ 05/12/09 10:36 AM

Yeah, I guess it's a personal preference. I didn't care for it too much. I can see how it would be fun though, especially if you have a few guys into it.

Nobody ever seems to acknowledge how solid a game of baseball it played. If it had had a season mode, I still might be happily playing it as a 360-only owner.

This game is looking really good. I just saw the new mini-game trailer and I love the new locales for the homerun pinball. I loved Bigs 1, but stopped playing late in the "Story" mode because I realized I wasn't going to get the perfect score achievement.

Looks like a fun game to me. Homerun Pinball is going to be great with new locations.
