[QUOTE="Los Lover, post: 29218"] In comparison to my 85% for Blics (90%) multiplayer review score... I gave cricket 2005 = 1.8.... check the archive post on it. I am not a fan boy of developers...I am a fanboy of gameplay. I play and own nothing but sports ***les...I have owned and played hundreds....massive tournaments....etc etc..... I currently own - NBA 2K5 Gallop Racer 2 Colin McRae Rally 2005 and Blics... I cleaned out Madden 2005, PES4 and others..... and I regret nothing. Blics is, as a game of pace, enjoyment, realism and skill, as good as them. In terms of recreating EVERY last aspect of the sport in question, Madden 2005 and PES4 are better..so what! WTF!!!! [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] Compare it with PES1 or 2 and with Madden 2001 or 2 and you will find that Blics annihilates them. Cricket 2002 has much better gameplay than cricket 2005 as does cricket 2004. I am not a fanboy, I am an astute judge however of sports games on consoles as I have almost 20 years racked up on them and them ALONE. Very few fps etc and NO beat em ups etc..... Certain things are left out but there are vertrually NIL in temrs of 'faults'. The game is very, very solid indeed. I thought it would be good, so could have been disappointed, instead it was even better than I had thought. 99% of lbw decisions are bang on!!! It is mint. I was dismissed by Lee the other day, leaving a ball that swung late and seamed and clipped the edge of off stump in a gaming moment of realism and lapsed concentration that was better than any free kick from 30+ metres I nailed in PES4 or try out of the ingoal in league to win a game I ever experienced. For a moment I was not even playing a game. Cricket is all about atmosphere and I want to know the conditions you are playing this game under...equipment etc.... Either your 7s are others' 9s, or your score is obscene IMO. I think you look like a fanboy actually, reviewing the game "only versus ai because that is how most people play ir"..... [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] ........ firstly: How hard is it to drum up ONE person? ONE!!? secondly: Does that mean we can nadly review games like "speed freaks", ignoring that it was one of the greatest MP games of all time...NO...that is why it got 10s etc. thirdly: The single player game is what I play almost exclusively BY CHOICE....It is so immersive and excellent, the pressure is real, the joys, the disappointments etc are wonderful.. No offence, but your score tells me one thing only: that you may take yourself a bit seriously dude. Just chill out and play (at 100mph) the magnificence that is this game. Cricket is limited and wonderful...so is this game. So are MANY sports games....League translates to gaming better BECAUSE it is simpler. 7 out of 10!!!? [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] I am no fanboy, trust me, but your review speaks of intentional negativity anyway.....the other, uglier side of the coin. Saying it is the best cricket game over and over like you have been nice about the game is silly IMO....because it is the best cricket game by a country MILE. It is not even in the same ball park as cricket 2002, 2004 or 2005. It is a wonderous, optioned-up, graphiced-up version of the SNES super international cricket game, which was previously, along with Brian Lara 99', the greatest cricket game ever produced. I have allegiences though, sure............ To gameplay. [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] Of course you have a right to review it with a 4 out of 10 if you want, but as a gamer and lover of cricket, I must point consumers and fellow forum members a more appropriate direction....much as ak is doing. This has nothing to do with our previous hiccups NZL Fan [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] ....
