2K Sports Unveils Features of The BIGS(tm)

New York, NY - April 24, 2007 - 2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today features for The BIGS(tm), the larger-than-life Major League Baseball(r) licensed title coming out this summer. The BIGS delivers a unique pick-up-and-play baseball video game experience driven by quick reflex timing and smart power-up strategies, with highlight reel moments on every play.

"With The BIGS, we want to take the baseball genre to new heights and redefine what a baseball video game can be," said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "The BIGS has the fast learning curve of an arcade game coupled with deep play mechanics, amazing visuals, and hero-like presentation of real MLB(r) players that will keep gamers coming back for more. The BIGS will showcase dramatic

highlight reel moments at every at-bat, creating a truly epic baseball title."

Fans will redefine the baseball highlight reel by performing dramatic wall grabs, spectacular diving plays, and epic homeruns. Unique and intuitive gameplay controls deliver a new baseball experience, while advanced power-up mechanics add exciting depth with each turn. Turbo gameplay raises the action bar to new heights, and culminates in the ultimate batter pitcher power-up duel, where either the pitcher's Big Heat will be the turning point, or the batter's Power Blast will be the explosive end to the game. In The BIGS, every play is a big play.

In The BIGS, each MLB player has been individualized to emphasize their extraordinary athletic attributes. The development team paid great attention to detail to portray a player's face and physical characteristics so baseball fans will easily recognize their favorite players. To deliver the authentic MLB atmosphere, stadium landmarks have been stylized to highlight the unique architecture of each MLB ballpark. Whether it's the glove at San Francisco's AT&T Park resized to mammoth proportions or the left field wall in Boston's Fenway Park made into a real "Green Monster," gamers will be in awe at the grandeur of each stadium in The BIGS.

The BIGS will be available this summer for the Xbox 360(tm) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION(r)3 and PlayStation(r)2 computer entertainment systems, PSP(r) (PlayStation(r)Portable) system and Nintendo's Wii.
