What Parents Need to Know

About The BIGS

Parents need to know that this casual baseball game is much easier to play than other baseball simulations on the market. The emphasis is on action, not stats. Kids will see some advertising banners in the simulated baseball parks. The game does have an online mode; Common Sense doesn't recommend online play for anyone under 12.

    Best. Game. Ever.

    This is one of the rare good baseball games. For the Wii this is an incredibly good game. There is some violence (jumping into the catcher and he goes back 10 feet, at least). But this is one of the best baseball games of all time.
