Cricket 2005 (PS2)

This is a good, enjoyful game. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like cricket, you will still enjoy this game, and if you are a fan then you will be addicted to this game. When you first play this game you will find it hard to bat. The bowling is very easy but the batting has been made harder and you to time the ball for it go for a four or a six. If you have trouble batting, then the training will help out a lot, as it will tell you if you timed the shot or mistimed the shot. The producers have made the game realistic as in real life if you mistimed your shot then you are likely to be caught out and this happens in the game. You can take on the best teams in the world by ...  Read the complete review

This game came after the Cricket 2004 game and not much had changed in the game. The first thing which had failed to change in the game was the graphics. Every player in the game from the previous edition looked the same in the game. The pitches looked the same and the expressions of the players and also the animations of hitting the ball were all the same! The mega change was the computer was more harder to play on all levels. Starting to play on the easiest level of the game I found it hard to take on the computer. Took a lot of time to beat the computer but it did not happen all the time like the last edition of the game. The animations of the ...  Read the complete review

Every Cricket fan has been waiting for this game but I am sorry it was not worth the wait. The training nets are hard and really have no use or reflection on matchplay.You get no verbal guidelines to what is the correct action etc. The bowling is also super difficult and no matter how you adjust your line and the distance you can never quite do it right.Single player mode you will never beat your opponent. The graphics are good but the 2004 version is alot more real and you have a fighting chance against your opponents. All your actions have to be so inch perfect the game is just too much. It gets you really frustrated.Your ...  Read the complete review

It is a very good game and is really realistic. Good points about the game are if you are running and the fielder throughs the ball to the wicket keeper and if you think you are going to get out you can dive into the crease. Also instead of letting the computer do the fielding for you you can go into options and turn on manual fielding which means you can do it yourself. Another feature is you can put on batting aid which means you put something on and it tells you how many runs they think you will get. It has excellent face details into the players and also you can create your own player. It has all good county teams and international teams you can do seasons as county ...  Read the complete review

this game is a worthwhile buy without a doubt. the graphics are much improved from previous games and the commentary is also slightly improved. the gameplay itself is simillar to cricket 2004 however seems to offer slightly more variety. the training facilities on the game... namely the nets are a real let down, i really think they are tedious and not worthwhile. the actually games however are addictive and you can find yourself spending hours on the playstation without realising! the great thing about the game is that once you get into a game i find you get very involved and this is what makes the game so brilliant. the game is also great for non-cricket lovers! the ...  Read the complete review
