The best cricket game out there...but still somewhat disappointing
You see, there are a feast of modes on offer in this game, and even though the tests aren't properly licensed, I can abide that given the fact that the ICC One Day Series is, as is the ICC World Cup. My main charges against this version of the game, however, are the shoddy presentation and sometimes awful fielding mechanics.
Firstly, the graphics are not worthy of a 360 game, which makes me question the commitment Codemasters put into this title. I understand it's not all about graphics, but they could have tried a little bit harder!
Secondly, the fielding. You need Jedi reactions to catch at slip, and even in the deep the catch meter appears out of nowhere to surprise you, leading to an abundance of dropped chances in a single innings....well, in my case anyway!
But, despite these frailties, it is a good cricket simulation, with a decent level of atmosphere, tolerable commentary, and all the variations of spin you could ever want. If you love cricket, you'll probably like this.
