International Cricket 2010

If you buy this game look in the South African team for Mclovin made me giggle like a school girl. I Think it is supposed to be all rounder Ryan Mclaren not 100% but carnt see who else it could be as the players names are only licended for England and Austrila. (On that note the makers of this game recon Austraila better than England yeah right get a grip). This is my only gripe with the game but its not major as you can change the names in the edit mode if you much about cricket the names arnt much different i.e Umir Ghol = Umar gul, K Admal = K Akmal, M Multilaham = Muttiah Muralithram e.t.c.
Plays the same pretty much as The Ashes 2009 with one major change to the bowling in which the arrow which showed you which way the ball was going to spin/Seam has gone which makes it much much harder to bat which i love. The batting has had a overhaul with this game so now you carnt hit every single ball for 6. You have to actually build the batters confidence and pick the deliverys to slog very carefully or you will be bowled out ALOT. I talking about Hard difficulty as i read a review before this about a test taking 4 hours on easy well thats nonsense because on easy you can bowl ANY team on the game out for less than 20 runs every innings without fail takes about 5 minutes but wheres the fun in that.
It goes without saying if you dont like cricket you wont like this game if you do youll love it. Seriouslly good cricket action.

Very similar to the Ashes cricket game. Its the best cricket game around as with all the others I tend to have always found faults, whereas most seem to have been corrected with this. Most cricket games are similar and fairly average but its still worth a purchase if you're a big cricket fan. If you're not it'll probably get boring pretty quickly.

I've given it 4 stars as its good for a cricket game, but probably not that rating compared to other types of games.

Am interested in buying this game but no one has mentioned whether they have fixed the UNBELIEVABLY catastrophic AI running between the wickets because it absolutely ruins the ASHES 09 game and in all honestly it should never have even been released! IT IS A TERRIBLE GAME!!! can anyone tell me if this is any better this time around? ta

This game is fairly entertaining for a short while. I would rent rather than buy the game.

The game controls are relatively easy to master but as with cricket in real life every game takes an age to complete, for example, it took me 4 hours to complete a two match test series in which I won each test by an innings (Yes it was on easy!!).
The graphics are average at best with reasonable likenesses of real cricketers but the 'crowds' are just a joke. When you get a boundary you get a close up of what appears to be cardboard cut outs. The AI of the cricketers are laughable at times and all the player movements look wooden.

If you really want to buy this wait until the price drops a bit.
