We’ve reviewed the Wii version separately (and not published it yet, we now realise), because it’s actually a completely different game.

It’s a lot worse, we’d say.

Playing through the wii version now. The timing for the batting is a little finiky – still undecided whether auto batting or the direction controls are the way to go.

One thing you neglected to mention was the homosexuality on the fall of wicket. Seems closer to the womens game than the mens in that regard…

Pair up with a few mates and have a 5 overs a side tournament, great fun and you’ll no doubt have a few nail biters!!

Thanx for this review. There’s a new game in town – Cricket Revolution. I think you should write a review on that one too.

Don’t think the game’s that buggy. There are certainly a few and load times are piss poor, but overall we reckon it’s a very decent cricket game.

Two-player matches could be pretty damn good, because it takes the computer’s demented running and slogging out of the equation.

I am glad and totally agree with you for rating Ashes 09 as the number 1 cricket game.

I agree with that, It’s probably the best cricket game going of that type. I am also an addicted of this game and mostly play on my PC, but there should be some more implementation in bowling in this.

Might it also be worth mentioning that the game is as buggy as hell and Transmission (the game’s dev company) have gone pop, halfway through creating the patch?

It’s good enough, but I wish they’d got the speeds right on the bowlers. It’s a bit dispiriting to have Anderson charging in and bowling at 72mph.

Plus, even given that, it doesn’t feel quick enough – the ball doesn’t fly around, or bounce particularly. And I wish they’d bothered to get the other accreditations…

Still the best cricket game on the consoles.
