EA Sports Australia have annouced on their website that Cricket 2002 will be coming to the PC soon. The game had previously only been avalible on PS2 and have recieved mixed reviews. This PC version however will hopefully be free of the bugs and inaccuracys that where in the Playstation 2 version of the game. The site list the following features of the game:
? Exclusive Player Editor allows players to change the features of current team members to your own local team.
? Flexible play allows the player to be fully involved in the selection of batsmen and bowlers and the placing of fielders. Chose manual fielding, or simply let the intelligent AI position your fielders for you.
? All the international teams and players, fully licenced!
? Astonishingly high detail in the players' faces bodies and game stadia. The equipment, such as bats, gloves and pads, also feature incredible detail.
? Commentary by the legendary Richie Benaud, Jim Maxwell and Bill Lawry.
? TV style gameplay including TV overlays and a detailed replay feature allowing the player to view the action from an infinite number of camera angles (including of course stump cam and helmet cam).
? Huge 3D stadium sound effects based on real crowd sounds from all over the world. Crowd effects change to reflect peaks and troughs in the game.
