    Stodgy graphics? Check. Absurd game controls? Check. Vomit-inducing player customisation (bearing in mind check 1)? Check. Worse than having a migraine on a roller coaster? CHECK CHECK CHECK! Remember when critics were moaning their socks off about the dual stick controls in Too Human? Well that was tolerable, because you bashed up monsters really well.

Worse than having a migraine on a roller coaster? CHECK CHECK CHECK! Remember when critics were moaning their socks off about the dual stick controls in Too Human? Well that was tolerable, because you bashed up monsters really well. THIS IS CRICKET THOUGH, you cant use dual sticks to whack the ball! hither dither The same applies for the flimsy bowling. I thought by now Ashes games would have learnt their lessons, but no. Waste of time, waste of money. Cricket is meant to be fun, in game or for real. And OH MY POOR EYES! I havent seen graphics this bland since playing the stomach-churning Chakan on Sega Genesis! Hell, even the female stars look like they have been pushed through the car wash 7 times!!!… Expand

    If you can get over the numerous yet humorous glitches and expect them to be patched out later, then this is a decent cricket simulator with plenty to do long after the current Ashes series finishes down under.

    Ashes Cricket isn’t perfect, but that’s unfortunately to be expected from Big Ant cricket games at launch. But the stacks of little bugs aren’t enough to detract from the overall accomplishments of a fully featured cricket game, which is as appealing to cricket aficionados as it is to those looking to have a quick bash. If Big Ant follows the trend of its previous games, the subsequent patches will help to convert the game into a game with an even louder appeal.

    Ashes Cricket offers the very best cricket game so far. As well as being the most realistic, it offers more approachable gameplay to help draw you in and looks excellent, particularly the licensed players and major stadiums. While it has a few bugs here and there, it also features an extensive customisation system and a number of game modes. There's a lot to love and keep you engrossed.
