Does the Indian exit from the WC make you want to teach 'them' some cricket maneuvers? Now you can try your hand at that virtually.

Good cricketing action, Best looking cricket game till date, Official licensed players and teams.

Buggy, Loses its charm very soon, Repetitive presentation.

Game Modes

There are quite a number of game modes that include the usual ODI matches along with the ICC World Cup and ICC champion's trophy. The game modes and rules are accurate and offer you quite a few options, you can just slog around for a few minutes with a 6 over warm up or you can indulge in hours of cricket with the World Cup.

Presentation

The game is well presented, but at times you feel as if you are being rushed. The game starts well with a view of the ground, some commentary, a look at the crowd and then the toss. Then you can quickly jump right where the action is. What greatly disappointed me was the fact that there are very limited numbers of presentation videos.

What I mean is that you will see players in a particular action mode over and over again. Like for example: every time you win a game, the same video or interlude recurs where the batsmen jump with joy, the fielding side forms a small group and acts depressed and they go out of the ground. I expected that may be the world cup games or bigger matches would have different presentation, but that did not happen. Therefore, it is somewhat boring to see the same reaction repeatedly from the players. Here they could have had more presentation videos to keep it interesting.
