Shane Warne Discusses Ashes Cricket '09

hmmm on wii, not sure but ps3 definitely

I know that's the Wii version, but it put me off the game altogether (I was already put off by the lack of licensing). The players are too jolty in their movements and it looks super unrealistic.

Nice choice on Kasabian for the first song though. :D

The big thing for me is the lack of licensing... I'll prob pick this up on PS3 when it drops to $50...

I won't even buy it for $20 and I hope not many people in NZ will either. Teach them that licenses sell and that they can't sell a game based on England and Australia in another country (well not very well).

What was up with the animation. Or is that just the Wii version?

I'll have a crack with the Wii version, might be worth a few games.

Hired the game out today. It's not that bad at all. I wouldn't pay full price, but it's worth a hire or $50.

I hired it also, it's a good game IF YOU LIKE CRICKET. I wouldn't go near it if you don't have an interest in cricket as you'll get bored of it. Online's pretty good, no flaws as far as I was aware. Only thing that's annoying is that the fielders are so CLUMBSY even with the best team... I was India, a ball would bounce to a fielder.. and they always don't gather it properly (no, you don't have to press any buttons to gather it) and then they overthrow etc... this happens at least once every over. Batting is good, and the game changes the field layout if you constantly hit in one area, like a normal captain. One thing I don't like about it though is that when they're bowling, a ring comes around where they are going to pitch it - in all fairness though, you do need it, as the balls do come fast and then you have to decide weather to play forward, back etc... Good game overall if you like cricket. Trophies are nice as well; I won't spoil too much, but there are some large batting-run related trophies. Can you make a triple century?
