    This game is utter crap and you should avoid it at all costs. You cannot customise controls at all and the graphics do not go to 16:10.

    Do not buy this game, please, I beg you. It is very very bad.

    This game is terrible. Unable to change graphics settings, no difficulty setting. They shouldn't of released it. Just wait for Don Bradman Cricket 14 rather than this garbage. It is worse then the 2009 and 2010 game.

I could easily see a MASSIVE cut between the animations in the game, the animations in general were awful, it looked WORSE than Ashes 2009 graphics wise. I have no idea how they got licensing for this absolute piece of turd of a game. DO NOT purchase this game at all costs. Wait till Cricket 14, although it has no licensing for any teams, the gameplay and graphics look incredible.… Expand

    Poor graphics, poor gameplay (if you could actually constitute it as gameplay), bugs and glitches galore. There is no positive here. Even the cheap price point is not cheap enough.
    Additionally, absolutely no developer support.

    Absolutely terrible game clear bugs that just could not have been missed are there immediately. There are no difficulty settings, no online play and terrible performance issues. The controls and gameplay are a huge step back on previous games, and there are nearly no redeeming features. Avoid.

    I created an account just so I could warn people to stay away from this game. I probably as many Australians have been watching the cricket recently on TV and I thought, hey, I haven't played a cricket game since the old ones on Playstation 2.

    So it being 2013 and all I thought for sure cricket games must have just continued to improve(I remember the old games playing quite well.) Alas    I created an account just so I could warn people to stay away from this game. I probably as many Australians have been watching the cricket recently on TV and I thought, hey, I haven't played a cricket game since the old ones on Playstation 2.

    So it being 2013 and all I thought for sure cricket games must have just continued to improve(I remember the old games playing quite well.) Alas I looked on steam to only find two options; Cricket Revolution or Ashes 2013. TBH I purchased both but I will keep my review about Ashes 2013.

    Firstly when I purchase a game on my PC, I EXPECT to have control over all my visual and graphical settings. This has one option... ONE! Change resolution. W.T.F!? Anyway my computer runs BF4 on ultra so not really going to be an issue when it comes to graphics, but still very poor form by the developers.

    Secondly let's come to the menu, sure no real problems when navigating.. But I was horrified to find. No Tutorial! No TRAINING NETS! That means no practicing of batting or bowling! Navigate to the controls screen and batting/fielding aren't even explained properly! You get pictures with ittty bitty little text and no way to practice what it preaches so to say. The controls tell you how to hit the ball, but it doesn't tell you how to Run or Go Back! it leaves that up to you to guess. Same with fielding... tells you absolutely nothing. But by pressing A (I play with wired X360 controller) I found the fielders sprint.

    Ok so thirdly, you've just been thrust straight into a test match seen as you can't practice. The only concept of controls you've had have not made much sense, your team won the toss and you've elected to bat. BOOM! You are hit with this AWFUL camera angle.. I thought calm yourself, this is a sports game.... I'm sure there are many camera angles to choose from and I will just pick one I like. *Goes to options, high hopes* Two camera options... The Awful one and a behind the batter camera... equally terrible! Where's the classic static camera showing the batsman, umpire and you see the bowler coming from the bottom of the screen? Why the camera have to Michael Bay it with the bowler!?

    Ok fourth! Jeez, four paragraphs already! If this hasn't convinced you yet on how terrible this game is hahah, read on! So I am delivered the first ball from the AI and natually I miss. But what has happened? It was pitched way outside leg stump(nearly a wide) and the 'joke of an animation' hereby known as the 'wicket keeper' glitches his left arm out, then the ball teleports into his right hand. What am I saying? the animations on not just the wicket keeper but ALL the fielders when picking up balls, throwing or recieving look really pathetic and you as a player won't know who has the ball or where it is.

    Ok fifth which I am just throwing in last minute as I've remembered it. (Playing on wired X360 controller) The controls while batting are You have X as defense, A as drive, B as loft & Right Trigger will make the batsman come down the pitch leaving the crease. But where's my choice to play shots on the Front Foot or the Back Foot?!!!! F*********ck! Impossible to play the shot you want when the computer is deciding to play FF or BF.

    I don't know what else to say? So let me just make a tl;dr also known as a recap!
    Ashes 2013: No graphical controls, No tutorials, No Training Nets (batting/bowling), Unfinished Control Screens, Awful In-Game Camera choices, Glitchy Animations, No way to make batter play Front Foot/Back Foot shots, Poor Controls, Over Priced.

    So in conclusion as it is at the moment the game is unplayable and a total scam of money. On top of all this, this game was delayed for about 5 months! What the hell where they doing? Because they weren't working or the people creating aren't qualified to be making videogames. This isn't the 80/90's anymore but if it were you theives would be working for LJN im sure. Ashes 2013 cricket is currently $20.99 and Cricket Revolution is $2.99. My playtime for Ashes is 36 minutes and Cricket Revolution is 109 minutes.

    My advice is hold out for Don Bradman Cricket '14, if that game fails. Then I guess we are all SOL when it comes to cricket games!    … Expand

    Calling this pile of shyte a "game" is an insult to gamers, developers and publishers everywhere. This is worse than a 99 cents mobile game you may purchase. The only thing the game has done is give a bad name to the developers (Trickstar) and publisher (505 Games). Rest assured I will stay away from any product featuring or endorsing either of those.

    I cannot understand how anybody in their right mind would allow this to go through, this game is an absolute basket case, and a shoe-in for the worst game of 2013. It seems like a lazy cash grab thrown together at the last minute without any due care or attention for the nuances of cricket, or even gaming in general. There are flash games on the internet that are miles better than this garbage, yes, I mean it, it is that bad.

    505 Games, you've let gaming down, you've let cricket down,you have let all the legends of Ashes series past down, but worst of all, you've shown absolutely no care or respect to one of the greatest sporting events in the world.

    Fielding is automatic, as in automatically stuffed you can get 100+ runs off one ball if you hit the ball slow enough! Vote this to be the worst game EVER!

    Just not Cricket. Unprofessional and sloppy attempt at a game. 505 Games, Trickstar and even Steam should be up on criminal charges of Theft (for charging money for this abortion of a game) and Fraud (for calling it a game). They fail to understand the basics of Cricket let alone Programming... anyone involved with making this game or who rates it more than a 1 should be sterilized.

Even if unaccountable bugs are fixed the game should not fetch more then zero points. Released in November 2013 the game gives a look & game play inferior to 1999 Brian Lara Cricket.Simply not worth buying or playing.

    Horrific game, not one redeeming quality. It is buggy to the point it is unplayable, it just is NOT good enough to be sold at ANY price. Games 7 years older than this are SUBSTANTIALLY better. Unfortunately, this isn't the cricket game for me, but hopefully an alternative crops up soon.

    It is a sad day for cricket games when you see some of these bugs, absolutely insane really.
