Cricket 07 ROM Description
The upcoming Ashes series between England and Australia is set to captivate sports fans in the UK and Down Under. To capitalize on the buzz, EA has released Cricket 07 for PS2 just before the first Test match in November. This latest entry aims to provide the most authentic cricket simulation yet. However, some finicky bowling controls make for an uneven experience, with batting the more enjoyable side of gameplay.
In Cricket 07, matches unfold slowly, demanding patience from players. Limited overs games take hours to finish. Fans familiar with cricket’s measured pace will feel right at home, while casual players may grow restless. The game rewards persistence and strategy, playing best at higher difficulties in Test format. Though slamming sixes is easy on lower settings, timing and placement become crucial as you move up. Mastery takes practice, since mistimed swings often lead to lost wickets. An optional timing gauge assists with visual feedback. Lower ranked batters have much smaller sweet spots, increasing the challenge.
Running between wickets is straightforward – just tap circle. But choosing the right moment is key, as fielders boast deadly accuracy even on easy. Fielding is mostly automatic, with the computer competently handling catches and throws. Bowling proves less smooth. You pick from a range of deliveries then set pace and direction as the bowler runs in. However, the analog aiming feels overly sensitive, making accuracy a chore. Wickets come sparingly, testing patience versus conservative batsmen. Batting steals the show thanks to satisfying strokeplay and clear feedback.
In the end, Cricket 07 best suits existing fans who relish the sport’s meditative rhythm. Others may balk at marathon match times. But a wealth of modes, including an expansive Ashes component, provides ample content for cricket devotees. If you already get the appeal, sharpen your skills for the upcoming series by picking up Cricket 07. Just don’t expect to convert new followers. This simulation stays true to the sport’s esoteric pleasures. For a quicker cricket fix, check out Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 instead.
