Better swinging action than Wii Sports Baseball?


According to the IGN review it's not perfect -

IGNWhen on the field, The Bigs is a mix of Wii done right, and corner-cutting "port-idge." The batting system itself acts as a perfect cross-section of the game, as it's interesting on one hand, and somewhat shallow on the other. Before a pitch, players can move the Wii remote from side to side or in circles, and their player will move the bat accordingly. It isn't quite a 1:1 movement (in the sense that it moves with every little motion), but it does a great job of tracking general motion, and it's a nice touch to the pre-pitch preliminary time. When it comes to actually swinging though, it's as simple as flicking the Wii remote to initiate an otherwise button-press action. Not too involving. In fact, swing lag - something you've heard plenty about if you've been reading our hands-on impressions - is still apparent in the final version, forcing players to swing about a half second early in order to compensate for slow motion recognition. It works, but it'll take a few innings to get used to, and it's not exactly intuitive.

Got a score of 7.0

Some of the soundtrack sounds pretty good though!
 
Someone has posted a comment on TL that it works on PAL with Wiikey.
That's enough for me to want to try it.
 
Does anyone have a nice dvd cover for this? I would make one but cant find any decent images of the logo, high res artwork or anything!

Thanks
 
Just to add to the above post, this works fine on my PAL Wii with Wiinja V2, patched with RegionFrii, no funny updates needed with 2.2E.

For some reason there are no PAR's for this, has anyone else had trouble unpacking it? I rarely need to repair stuff, but this and Ratatouille have bad rars!

I had no need for the PAR2's with either of these two titles....which is surprising. That said, I have been looking forward to The Bigs for quite sometime. I'm a big fan of the game so it's nice to have a baseball title on the wii. Haven't tested it yet, but if it's anything better than that crap MLB2K7 for the DS (a sharp stick in the eye would have been better than that fodder), I'll be pleased.
