"Great Game"
Great game. Excellent customise settings. And yes it does have all the major countries and all the forms of the game. You can even change the Irish team to your favourite backyard team. In single player mode you get points for achieving milestones that can be used to enhance that player. Definately the best yet of this line of cricket games.
"Its ok"
i saw it on special so i got it as i love my cricket games.
It not to bad the only thing i hated was trying to create a team and that. But
the one that got me was how to save the game during play in which i had to
Google the answer for.
"Interesting cricket game, great customization"
This game has superior graphics to other cricket games at the time of release and you can definitely see that they have put time into the fine details, even the individual players look pretty realistic.
It covers all of the best cricketing nations, and has all the players to be expected.
I would suggest though that you get some sort of controller to play it on, I played it on a keyboard, and the positioning of shots in particular is not easy to do accurately, (maybe suggest buying it for a console , if possible).
Also some of the gameplay seems a tad slow.....
I really enjoyed the rick ponting series on PS2 a couple of years ago, which I believe had better game play (speed etc), but this may have been due to the fact of using a controller. But this game definately has better graphics, and has all of the players (and the correct names unlike RPC)
Overall for the price I bought it at , and the price it is now, I definitely recommended it, but if possible would get in on a console, or a newer version (if you want to pay a lot more)
"Ok game"
Not bad – but I would just rent it for a weekend ........ Couple days all ya need
"So so cricket game"
Too much expectations made this game a bit lower quality cricket game..
