    Casey Powell Lacrosse 18 is a solid sports title that newcomers will find engaging and enjoyable. Die-hard lacrosse fans will frankly gobble this up.

    Casey Powell Lacrosse 18 is a poorly designed sports title at best, despite showing initial promise. This game’s tough difficulty spike and lack of fluid functionality alienates series’ newcomers. Veteran fans will more than likely appreciate what’s on offer, but for those that enjoy quality and quantity, look elsewhere. Copy and paste characters, shoddy visuals, meaningless commentary and much more, awaits those that don’t heed this warning.

    I must admit that Lacrosse isn’t a sport that I know too much about, but I do kind of understand the rules and how to play it. The firstI must admit that Lacrosse isn’t a sport that I know too much about, but I do kind of understand the rules and how to play it. The first Lacrosse game I ever played on console was Casey Powell Lacrosse 16 and whilst it had some decent mechanics I distinctly remember the lack of polish in a number of areas and the shortcomings it suffered with. Casey Powell Lacrosse 18 still suffers with a few of these problems but without a doubt it has seen some improvements over its predecessor. These improvements make the game a pretty enjoyable affair at times and I especially found the most enjoyable moments to be contained in the career mode. The career mode has quite a bit of depth to it and this depth has a great rewarding feeling to it so carrying on in this mode was very easy to do. You will notice however that the game does suffer with a few technical issues every now and then and whilst none of these issues are game-breaking they still take away from the overall gameplay somewhat. These issues will definitely be off-putting for some and whilst the game has seen quite a few improvements over its predecessor it doesn’t do anything major to make people who hated Casey Powell Lacrosse 16 like this instalment. If however you were fan of the first game then you will love the little tweaks that have been made to the gameplay. The gameplay feels more fluid and responsive this time around and without a doubt the AI is much improved this time around, which in turn makes the gameplay a lot more fun and realistic. By improving these aspects the game definitely has more replaybility and the replayabilty is enhanced even further with the very good creation system. Creating certain things is very fun and enjoyable and I was very impressed with the amount of freedom the game allows you to have in the creation system. One of the biggest gripes I had with Casey Powell Lacrosse 16 was the presentation side of the game, and unfortunately nothing much has changed here. The visuals and sound design still lack a lot of polish and this without a doubt affects the immersion levels quite considerably, which is a shame. At the end of the day Lacrosse is never going to be one of my favourite sports, but I can definitely say that this game can be quite fun when played in short bursts. With Casey Powell Lacrosse 18 you can definitely see that the series is taking a step in the right direction and if they continue to improve in certain areas then the game will definitely get played by more people in the future. It may not be for everybody and it still has a few shortcomings but it does enough to get a thumbs up from me.… Expand
