“Angry gamers feeling let down by over-hyped game” syndrome is something I have observed close up upon the release of every cricket game since EA’s Cricket2002. Every release day cricket-gamers far and wide sally forth to search the Holy Grail and yet again it seems that they are going to be disappointed. With years of disappointment and disillusionment behind me (I also support the England cricket team) I fired up BLIC07 with low expectations.
Ultimately, whilst Codemasters have undoubtedly worked hard on this title and implemented some nifty new features it seems they have neglected the sine qua non of cricket gaming – the gameplay.
Put simply the game has major pacing issues and the AI is depressingly stupid.
The demo of Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 has been released by Codemasters.
Two versions are available a Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 version and a Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2007 version.
Both allow 3 overs of an England v Australia match from the 2006 Champions Trophy in India and are 419MB.
Download both demos from here and comment on them in our BLIC 2007 Forum. More screenshots and a video from Codemasters will also be released today, check back for those soon.
Myself and Kev yesterday visited Codemasters for a first play of the new Brian Lara International Cricket 2007. With a chance to quiz the people involved in producing the game, it was a good day out.
