If you, like the many people I’ve spoken with, bought The Bigs for Wii and are very unhappy with it, do yourself a favor and give yourself another chance.

I know, I know — the batting is slightly delayed, and how the fuck do I throw to first base, and how do you dive?  Controls suck, I know.  But give it another chance.  Be patient with it; you’ll get the hang of it.

I gave The Bigs a second chance, and I’ve come to love the game.  I’ve learned the controls, and they are perfectly fitting for the game.  It’s not a video game for you to play as if you’re really playing a baseball game a la Wii Sports baseball.  Sure, you swing the bat, but everything else is just a typical video game — just with different motions of your wrists, and not just your fingers.

I’m currently doing the rookie challenge, and it’s actually been a challenge.  I lose many games and often can’t accomplish the missions.  But after a little practice with the controls and what not, I inch myself further in the challenge.

So, in all, give it another chance.  It’s actually a great game if you give it the proper learning curve it requires.
