All I can say is its about time. Codemasters have come to the rescue with the first circket game for
PSX SWC99 There is a sense of supurb realism in this game which is backed up by the options.
Real international crickets over 240 of them and an incredible 46 stadia from around the world.
Lords, Melbourne, Calcutta etc.
You can play all tournaments from World cup and series to a test series and season. All countries
and grounds have there real conditions and crowd atmospheres. You can also track players
performances through out the whole game as well as detailed tournament statistics. If your not up to
a 50 over match you can just play a swing batta swing 10 over tournament under lights.
You can also play classic matches and import greats into your team via cheat
mode. Batting and bowling are easy but its better to leave the fielding to the computer this is difficult
manualy. PLayers move realistically and even the easy mode is tough competition for the average
player. World Cups and other tournaments can be played at a host country which offers variety and
each stadium is superbly remade right down to the inch. Real Length boundries and weather add
superb realism to play. Shane Warne should keep every cricket nut quiet for now.
