Six sports are represented for a combined total of 22 events, each using instinctive controls that mimic real athletic movement with the Wii Remote. Each sport - tennis, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse and hockey - has its own kind of "hit the shot at the buzzer" kind of heart-pounding action, and this is exactly what Big League Sports captures. This is the perfect party game or family activity. Big League Sports allows up to four players to compete in a variety of modes, including single game, marathon and tournament modes that offer hours of non-stop action. Players can also view their statistics and overall progress, as well as the trophies they have won. A character creation feature allows players to craft a character to their liking with dozens of customization options. [Activision]

Game Chronicles

Big League Sports is a miserable game that should have been released as a $10 Wii Ware title than an actual retail offering. Avoid this game at all costs. It’s neither fun nor original and has no place in your Wii game collection.

John A. gave it an8:
The IGN reviewer is out to lunch. All his reviews of casual Wii sports games are negative. Why have him review another one? Makes me not want to read anything on IGN. Big League sports has some fun casual games. The IGN guy never mentions these. We had a LOT of fun with drills like Hockey Shoot Out, Basketball 3 Point Challenge, Soccer Corner Kick, Tennis Aces and Tennis Pinball. If you want some quick, pick up an play casual fun to play with your kids, check it out. The only thing I would say to the marketing guys, first impressions were that these were full sports games. It wasn't until after that we realized that these were just drills. Recommend to make this clearer on the box.
