As mentioned last week a trailer arrived on copies of MLB 2K9 for the sequel to The BIGS. Ironically The BIGS is a game that had better graphics and played more sim in some ways than the MLB 2K franchise did and still does. It was one of the first sports games to offer an online co-op mode, which while limited was a lot of fun. The strategical elements were well done and the gameplay was very clean. While it is very much an arcade game it wasn’t too over the top, just more of an exaggeration of the dramatic elements of the sport. It was a very good effort all around that had several ways in which a sequel could add on to and improve.
That is why it is so exciting to finally get word that they are developing The BIGS 2 for a summer release. Lets hope that the same team at Blue Castle works on this one and put the MLB Front Office Manager fiasco behind us. Continue on to watch the teaser trailer and leave your thoughts in the comments.
