2 out of 5 stars Not always based on reality   August 24, 2010
Gary Randell Fraser (Sweden)
Unfortunately, when playing tests especially, the run rates are unrealistic. Playing a test match, with a total of 1020 runs in the test, was finished before lunch on the second day. In one day formats, it makes no difference where you pitch the ball, once the CPU decides its time to hit, every ball can sail for 4 or 6 in whatever area (how a full pitched ball outside the off stump can sail over a very fine leg with a on drive is beyond me). I'd hoped for more, given that gaming technology is improving all the time, but I see this as a step back in some aspects from EA Cricket, but then the batting model is easier, which is a definite step forward.

A little more realism and context is required if they're going to continue producing this game, and for god sakes, get the rights to things like the names (and get the statistics right, someone taking 40 wickets with 1500 runs does NOT have an average of 19!!!!)

It's not a bad short-term game, and probably good for those who hate bowling, but if you're a cricket "purist", don't bother.



1 out of 5 stars Not Suitable for Windows 7   July 7, 2010
Andrew Stedman (UK)
Becareful when buying this game as it is NOT applicable to Windows 7 and the makers of the game have no date set for any patches to download.


4 out of 5 stars Exciting times ahead.....   July 1, 2010
The Dark Destroyer
Only just received this game, which was obtained at a knock down price.

My only 2 gripes were that firstly, the disc installation defaults immediately to your C:Drive, if you want to put it elsewhere you need to click on the custom installation button and then type in the Drive number you want it to install to. This took 4 goes, before it responded to my demands. Secondly, you need to have the disc in your computer/laptop whenever you want to play the game, not really what I wanted, especially, if you are going to play for several hours, the disc becomes very warm after a time.
On the plus side, the graphics are excellent, the manual covers all the techniques and training with the help of "Beefy" Botham's verbal tuitions which were interesting to listen to. It takes a while to get to grips with the way batsmen and bowlers behave in defence and attack modes, but, practice makes perfect. The sound effects are brilliant and all in all it's very good, Cannot give it top marks though I'm afraid because of my personal preferences, but, as a new PC cricket game it's nearly there.....



3 out of 5 stars Cricket   September 13, 2009
Juan McGuinness (Ellan Vannin)
Initially I really quite enjoyed this game however after a few short hours of play I became intensely annoyed with the difficulty swing between whupping kenya and getting bent over by the aussies.

My main gripe however is the inability to save the game mid test match which resulted in the PC being left on overnight.

All in all it is great if you love cricket but not great if you have a passing interest and want some fun



5 out of 5 stars Best cricket game out in the market, by far.   September 10, 2009
