Ashes Cricket 2009

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Snaffled mine for £25 from Asda. Bargain.

[RedKnight]

You inspired me there, Dan. So I've just been out to Asda to pick up at that bargain price.

[wiiksie]

25 quid or not, its still shite.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Really enjoyed what I've played so far.

[Guest Kenny]

Its pretty decent i think, frustrating with the bowling but decent.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Bowling is very hard granted.

[RedKnight]

Bowling is hard but then I'd expect it to be, I'm quite enjoying the whole thing to be honest.

[Stouffer]

Top reporting Mumrah.

 

I'm now going to be all over this.

 

Does it support motiion plus on the Wii?

[Dan Vito Corleone]

No, no motion plus. I'd be careful with the Wii version actually. It's fun and all that but I can't see it being as much fun if you're not playing it with mates.

[Rex Banner]

25 quid or not, its still shite.

 

agreed it really is awful but Cricket game lovers seem to enjoy it, I guess I just think any Cricket video game is shite because compared to any good game they are.

[camdenred]

Just a shame as this could so easily have been so much better by simply using the same game engine but spending more time tarting it up. Better graphics/player likeness, county and regional teams as well as better stats/attributes etc would have given it far greater depth and longevity.

[hamstrung]

PS3 version is getting reasonably favourable reviews on Amazon.

[Bogman]

Not too shabby, managed to score 358 - 4 in a 20 overs match against Bangladesh in easy mode, but got battered by the aussies in my first attempt at the game.

 

Bowling is hard, but can't have everything easy.

 

Brought mine on Friday from Asda for the PS3 - £31 sobs.

[Stu Monty]

Do the computer players ever leave the ball and play defensive shots. That really pissed me off on the last version; you're playing a test and they are trying to send good bowling to the fence every time.

[RedKnight]

I bowled against the Windies in a 10 over match and had them at 78/5. Not too bad.

[Stu Monty]

Off out in a bit, reckon I might pick it up and pick up a Live renewal too. Hate to shop at Wal-Mart but at that price I'm feeling how Randy does with that screwdriver set.

 

"It's too strong for me son, the bargains are too good, you go on, save yourself!"

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Played it a lot more over the last 24 hours, it's fucking ace!

[Bogman]

I now officially can't bat.

 

Face the Bangladeshs' off spin in a 20 over match; batter them all around the ground, but play the Windies in a test match, tfffbfhhhhhhhhh, can't hit a cow with a bangeo.

Sorry, that's a lie, I can hit that cow, it's just that it always, always lands in a cow catcher.

 

Very addictive though.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Play yourself in. I have started off on hard and played Strauss in he can now hit some good shots.

[col06]

can you skip innings on this one ??

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Yes. Overs, innings and matches can be skipped.

[hamstrung]

Bought it today and quite like it. Need to work on my decision making as far as runs are concerned.

[RobbieOR]

Should I buy it or not? All opinions welcome.

[hamstrung]

Bought it today and quite like it. Need to work on my decision making as far as runs are concerned.

 

And I am fucking woeful at batting against spin.

[odris]

Bought it today, i rule obviously but i don't like the game.
