With various sports titles coming out every year, there is one sport that is consistently overlooked in the sports genre scene, Cricket.
Ashes Cricket 2009 is fully licensed by Cricket Australia, the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club, the world’s most famous cricket club and owner of the Ashes urn), providing the most authentic Cricket game ever.
The Australian Team recently had hands on with the game, and going by their banter and impressions, I’m sure we can expect a top quality Cricket experience on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
Some of the great features of Ashes Cricket 2009 include:
• 18 realistically created stadiums from 12 cricketing nations will be featured, including The Oval, Edgbaston, Headingley, The MCG, The Gabba, The SCG as well as stadiums from India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe.
• International T20 Tournaments and Matches.
• One-Day tournaments and Matches.
• Create your own Tournaments.
• Training Mode where you’ll be able to get training from legends like Ian Botham, Shane Warne. Get exclusive techniques and tips from them.
• Realistic Commentary from legends like Tony Grieg, Ian Bishop, Shane Warne, Ian Botham, and Jonathan Agnew. Feel like watching a real match on Television.
Australia’s Test cricketers swap the willow for hand controllers as they play Codemasters’ Ashes Cricket 2009
June 18, 2009 – The Australian Cricket team ducked bouncers and danced down the wicket as they took control of their own destiny against the English, whilst checking out Codemasters’ Ashes Cricket 2009 at the annual Players Camp in Coolum. This provided a solid training foundation for the team, before heading off for the real thing starting on July 8.
Competition got fierce as the Aussie team played multiplayer Test Match and One Day Internationals, to see who could topple the English. Mitchell Johnson, Australia’s young fierce opener, was steaming in with 140km/h plus deliveries aimed at Freddy Flintoff’s toes whilst Nathan Hauritz commented on the dry pitch, “The wicket’s a little dry today with not much movement about”, he said.
Ricky Ponting took the crease again with a vengeance after some recent hands on at the Ashes Cricket 2009 press day, pulling numerous short deliveries to the fence. He was ecstatic to see such an advanced cricket title coming to consoles so far as to suggest, “Games like Ashes Cricket 2009 could certainly be used as a training tool for the squad in the future.”
All rounder James Hopes looked a little distracted from his duties at hand, keeping his eyes well and truly fixed to the advanced graphics. When he got some extended gameplay he said, “Let’s hope we have this game on the team bus while we are touring around England.”
Prepare to step up to the crease and help Australia retain the trophy in Ashes Cricket 2009, coming soon for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION®3 and PC.
