Hey guys
I have played the game a lot since ydy and think i can give review of it as lots of ppl were asking for it.I m a newbie so i might exclude some points so plz letme know what i missed out.
The setup :- difficulty : medium(Normal)
system settings :1280 * 1024
forced lod :High
aa :4x
Batting : I would like to begin with the batting.For anyone who has played cricket 2004 batting wont come as a surprise.Having said that it has been revamped a bit but the controls and gameplay are just like cricket 2004.The shots look and play more realistically.Shot animations are just awesome.You would probably be upto the hard level just after playin a few matches.The confidence meter does nothing in my opinion.But still the batting looks good and is really Fun.
Bowling :This has been one of the surprises of cricket 2005.I just love the bowling in cricket 2005.First there IS swing and spin.I played in england and the ball was really swinging a lot.whew.
then every bowler has a repertoire of deliveries according to his stats.glen mcgrath has in swinger,out swinger,leg cutter,offcuteer...while agarkar has only out swinger,leg cutter.straight is there for everyone .
Then comes the special delivery meter.every bowler has a special delivery meter which fills out if we bowl consistently or take a wicket or both.Once filled a few special deliveries are unlocked.Here are a few....for fast bowlers
yorker
bouncer
slower delivery
reverse swing
for spinners :
googly
flipper
zooter
full flight
doosra
teesra
its really fun bowling in this game.But the marker can be a bit difficult to getting used to.
graphics : They are the best part of cricket 2005.Amazing batsman and bowler cutscenes.Awesome shot animations.fielding animations are a lot better than cricket 2004.The catches and dives look authentic.The umpires are a lil funny though.But the lip movements adds a new dimension to the game.So as some say this game is a candy to the eye.I was running it on a 6600 gt and all settings full and was gettin around 60 FPS.
Commentory : This is one aspect of the game that is dissapointing.Its hardly been updated.All the same boring lines from cricket 2004.But the music is quite good.
Also i cant comment on the bugs as i played it only for a day and havent encountered many bugs.Just one bowling bug which i mentioned in my earler post.
conlcusion is that as evryone knows cricket games are far and few so i would suggest get the game as it is extremely playable and would be more with all the great patchmakers of planetcricket.org.long tours and all competetions are great and would occupy your time.ok guys This is my first review plz temme what i missed and how it could be better.thx seeya...
