Big League Sports is one of those games that didn't show up as a future release, didn't have any advertisements, commercials etc. There is only 1 like on the Amazon page, but I was somehow drawn to Big League Sports, and am overall glad I was. This game seems like it would be more fun playing with 2, 3, or 4 people. I played BLS by myself, and had a pretty good time.

When I first turned it on, I fielded in baseball. I have to admit, I was ready to give this game one star. The ball is hard to see when it's coming at you. There are flashing lights from the stands (imitating cameras I guess, and baseballs were coming at me, and I couldn't see them until they hit the ground. Then I tried the pitching. I really didn't understand what the game was asking for, but I think I figured out that the game doesn't want you to pitch when the moving square is in the middle. I was highly disappointed and frustrated at this point in the game. This was in the baseball tournament mode. I feel this part of the game wasn't well planned out, but maybe I just don't understand it.

Then I tried the Homerun Hero mode, and I fell in love.If you ever played EA Sports Active for the WIi, and remember swinging the baseball bat, and always thought that this mode should be expanded on, your dreams have come true. After you hit the ball, you hold out your arms and the ball soars the way you want it to (check out the video review for a better explanation on this).

After baseball, I enjoyed football. Football has a mode that is just like Kinect Sports 2, although in this game, you have to direct your body towards the receiver you want to throw it to. After you dodge defensive tacklers, you throw the ball to the open receiver. In another mode of football, you juke and stiff arm tacklers while you are running.

Hockey ended up being a pleasant surprise, as well as basketball, and golf. Check out the montage of the gameplay if you're considering purchasing this game. Hopefully, it will be a downloadable title one day. It's hard to say that this is a must have, but if you have disposable income, and are starving for a decent sports Kinect game, I'd say go for it. Peace out, Lou

pretty fun game overall.

some sports are better than others, definitely try out basketball and hockey first.

Per the previous review, playing with a group of people in tournament mode is the way to go. It's like having a playlist of games one after another.

Best Deals for Big League Sports for Kinect - Xbox 360

I've only had this game for two weeks and I am still working through playing all of the different sports and games in this disc. I am a huge hockey fan, but have never seriously played myself. If you are looking for an exact replica of how it is to play hockey, this is not that. Really, nothing can compare to the real thing in any sport. It is a fun game though and I enjoy playing it. It gets you up and moving and since I purchased this, and a couple other Kinect games, I use the XBox more than my husband. Sometimes it's nice to sit and use a controller, but I generally prefer the interactive Kinect games. I'll update once I've played more than the hockey, baseball and football games.

Honest reviews on Big League Sports for Kinect - Xbox 360

Complaints first: If you have played the Adventure Game it has a loading process like that and takes pictures of you as you play. I do not like this feature. It also is like practicing sports, so this makes for a lot more loading after each drill.

I do enjoy playing the game. Like the variety of sports. It has nice and easy to learn moves. It does not take log to figure out, but could take a while to master. It may no teach perfect technique, but it does teach a little strategy and basics.

Bought this game for my 11 year old athletic son. He hated it so I decided to check it out. This game is so terrible. There is nothing "Big League" about it. You don't actually play in a game you just do what the screen prompts you to do. If I could give this 0 stars I would have. Invest in Kinect Sports it is way better. I immediatley took this game back for a full refund. NO FUN!
