Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 Description
Online play marks the next in the Brian Lara series as a something to watch. What with the Cricket World Cup underway in the West Indies at the time of the game's release, and being shown at a reasonable hour; and with Lara's Windies doing better than had previously been expected, the chance to go online and play with cricket fans worldwide has never been more enticing. Because the game is tied into the International Cricket Council (ICC) you're not going to have to make do with players called Ferdie Flintlock or Richie Pounding when you can play with the real player names - and their skill-sets (excluding pedalo-tipping). Once you've played a few games - either online or off - using the new in-game camera system, you can then start to refer to the in-depth player stats. These, as any real cricket fan knows, are the heart of the matter. Decent stats enable you to select the form players and the up-and-comers, to exercise your judgement to drop those under-achievers or one-hit wonders who might otherwise infect a perfectly good Test or ODI team. Gameplay itself has been tweaked and tested (as has the AI) enabling closer and more immediate control of fielders during the over. Bowling also sees the addition of several new techniques (since the Ashes, swing and reverse-swing are much more in the public eye, and now in your control, for example). Once you've got your placings and players sorted out, there's the newly upgraded training aspect to really hone those skills - or in the case of the novice, a glossary of cricket terminology. Added to all this, we get commentary from the Test Match Special frontman, Jonathan 'Aggers' Agnew among others...and bring on the first ball.Screenshots

| A very good looking game, and fun to play, but hasn't changed too much from the original PS1 offering. The difficulty modes are a bit random, with slog mode making it simple to hit 36 off an over, a rarity in Cricket, and moving up the difficulty makes the game much harder in much too large increments. Shame EA have got the licencing rights, and can't make a game as good as this. Worth a punt, but not a keeper. | ||

| This is a solid representation of the game. Good graphics and gameplay mechanics are realistic. However I do have a couple of moans, the catching/throwing mechanics are not that great, and the computer AI is easily fooled. As another reviewer has stated, on slog its far to easy (I scored 479-3 against Australie in 40 over match, and bowled them out for 69) and raising the difficulty makes the game impossibly hard. These are monir gripes, because I think this game is best played agianst another person with some knowlegde of the game, a bit like most sport titles really. Worth a rent, but not to buy. | ||

| First try at a cricket game and quite enjoyed it for a few games. After that it got boring. | ||
