Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 - Online Play Details

[Ste]

Codemasters have released a press release which has details about the eagally awaited online play features in BLIC 2007

Brian Lara International Cricket 2007, the evolution of the best-selling cricket game series, will be the first ever cricket video game to offer extensive online play when it launches next March for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®2 and PC. No other cricket videogame currently available offers this essential gameplay feature.

Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 will offer extensive online play on both Xbox 360 and PC and feature a variety of multiplayer options for up to four players on the PlayStation 2.

On Xbox 360, Xbox Live gameplay will deliver multiplayer tournaments, including the ICC World Cup 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy 2006, leagues, exhibition and warm up matches. Xbox Live leader boards and specific achievements, such as scoring a century, or winning a match at every ground in the game, will enable players to gain gaming points. Less scrupulous players will also be able to “sledge” their opponents over Xbox Live voice chat, adding a touch of psychology to proceedings and immersing the player deeper still into the match experience. Or you could just chat politely about the weather.

On PC, Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 will support LAN games and online play, again offering multiplayer leagues, tournaments such as the ICC World Cup 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy 2006, exhibition and warm up matches.

On both Xbox 360 and PC, up to 16-player simultaneous multiplayer tournaments will be possible, including the ICC-licensed events. Should you wish to just sit back and take in a game, there’s even a feature that enables up to eight spectators to watch an intense game of cricket develop before them.

Says John Jennings, Executive Producer of Brian Lara International Cricket 2007:
“We’re proud that Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 is again raising the bar for cricket video games by being the first and only title in the genre to offer full online play on Xbox 360 and PC. It’s something that the fans of the sport have been crying out for; we’ve listened and we’re only too happy to be the first able to deliver. It’s been exciting and challenging but, through the efforts of our in-house cricket team, we’re once more looking to set the a new standard for cricket video gaming.”

In featuring the ICC Champions Trophy 2006 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 as officially licensed events, Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 will come complete with player names and likenesses of all the stars of international cricket, as revealed in the new screenshots released today from the ICC Champions Trophy 2006 game mode.

With in-game commentary from established cricket experts Jonathan Agnew, David Gower, Ian Bishop, Bill Lawry and Tony Greig, real player stats from Wisden and featuring the Hawkeye analysis system, Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 will deliver the most authentic cricket gaming experience. Pad up and prepare for the game’s arrival next March, coinciding with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 2

8 new screenshots of the Xbox 360 version including the first of the menu system have also been released. Three of these are shown above and they can all be seen in our screenshots gallery.

Why have the keepers got no helmets when standing up to the spinners? This should be corrected.

They could at least wear caps when standing back aswell

Jones wasn't even wearing a helmet standing up to Hoggard in the last test against Australia, so It's not that odd
