Asia \u2013 July 8, 2009<\/span><\/span><\/strong> \u2013 <\/span>2K Sports today announced The BIGS\u2122 2, the sequel to the popular arcade baseball franchise, is now available in retail stores.\u00a0 Featuring MLB\u00ae All-Star first baseman, Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers, as the cover athlete and spokesman for The BIGS 2, fans now have the thrilling opportunity to enjoy bigger power-ups, amazing visual effects, and legendary game modes that elevate the arcade-style baseball experience to new heights like never before. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to new player animations and improved pick-up-and-play controls, The BIGS 2 offers fans the ability to make more strategic decisions with the added Batter\u2019s Wheelhouse, execute new Legendary Catches, and pull off amazing Big Slams.\u00a0 Exciting new game modes have also been added this season, including Become a Legend and the heavily fan requested, Season mode.\u00a0 Become a Legend picks up the story from the end of the Rookie Challenge mode from The BIGS, as gamers take on the role of a player that suffered a career threatening injury and is challenged to regain his Major League career by fighting his way back at the Mexican league to the Majors. Along the way, players compete in boss battles against MLB legends and steal players from other teams, eventually earning enough votes to get into the Hall of Fame.\u00a0 The BIGS 2 also features a brand new Season mode that offers full MLB team schedules, stat tracking and roster management that adds another layer of depth to the already addictive baseball experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The fan favorite Home Run Pinball mode is back, and lets players smash home runs into windows and neon signs in either single player or co-op action in Times Square or three new environments – Las Vegas, Shibuya in Tokyo, and Retro Times Square.\u00a0 Several new skills mini-games are featured in The BIGS 2, and give players the opportunity to practice their hitting, fielding and running ability against a variety of MLB stars in exciting challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The BIGS 2 is rated E 10+ by the ESRB, and is now available for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION\u00ae3 and PlayStation\u00ae2 computer entertainment systems, PSP\u00ae (PlayStation\u00aePortable) system, and Wii\u2122 system from Nintendo.\u00a0 For more information, please visit www.2ksports.com\/games\/thebigs2<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
