The Bigs

I bought The Bigs this weekend and I'm hooked.

It took a bit of getting used but the the game really gets the Wii controllers. The pitching element of the game is what really makes it for me. You have to use a combo of pressing buttons and twisting your wrist while going through a pitching motion. (The key I've found is to twist at the beginning of your swing) Additionally there are incentives for not doing the same pitches over and over again. Controlling the fielders took a little to get used to, but again once you the hang of it is pretty intuitive.

Batting took a bit to get used to as well I really recommend trying it in practice mode a lot until you get a feel for the swing. The power hitting mode is a bit cheesy and can really throw the game, but in general I like the concept.

Overall The Bigs is a big hit and I'll have to take a break from playing until after I pitch for my kickball game as I could barely move my left arm on Monday after playing way to many innings on Saturday and Sunday.
