Hi guys and girls,
I'm playing the game on PC.
So to read there are great differences between the PS2 and pc version.
My first impressions of Cricket2004 weren't that good, but after playing it for a vew hours I have to recorrect my opinion.
I'll try to review a vew things
- I red running between the wickets and the fielders should be bad. In the PC version it is quite OK!! Batsman are running a lot faster than in Cricket2004 and turning back to cancel a run is no problem at all. I guess there are differences between the PC and PS2 version. PC version looks to be much better.
-Bowlers are bowling quicker. Don't mind the meter, thrust your eyes.
-Important: the game has proven a lot as a real cricketgame. When bowling and batting you see more of the field. Fields look much bigger.
-It looks more to cricket like you watching it on tv. An edge trough the slips look marvelous (just like real)!
-You have to react and time better while batting (I didn't bowl yet). So it is more difficult. I like it.
At first sight the game looked a bit strange. The bowlers etc looked too big and the length of the pitch too smal. I got used to it in a vew hours, now it doesn't botter me anymore.
And the impire looks very ugly. It seems he broke his two arms and he has a big and ugly nose. But what the heck, I never felt in love with an umpire before
When you're hitting the ball, it reaches the boudary too quick. Maby Vineeth and the others can fix such things.
The public looks more lively.
My overview: after getting used to Crickket 2004 a bit, it really looks a lot better and more realistic than Cricket2002. This is my opinion.
I would say, give the game a change and with some patches it can only become better.
Enjoy the game!!
