Ashes Cricket on Wii

[Hawkings Boots]

Didn't realise this was coming out on the Wii!!

Just seen an advert for this on TV. Hopefully this will be the cricket game the Wii has been crying out for (but it'll probably be shit!!!)

If they get it right it'll be superb, but as you say it'll probably be shite.

Apparently it's created before the motion-plus unfortnately. I hope they allow the use of the balance board for foot positioning but bet they don't.

Little review regarding wii:

The Wii version lets you wave the Wii Remote around like a bat and even use it to polish the ball, but it always feels as though it is taking decisions for you. The next-gen versions are definitely the most impressive, with crisp, HD-style graphics. Although the virtual players look comically unlike their real-life counterparts. They do play in a startlingly realistic manner, though: Andrew Flintoff's 94mph inswinging yorkers are devastating, if you can pull them off, and Phillip Hughes will flay anything outside off-stump to the boundary, but is susceptible to being caught if you pack the gully and cover regions.With the ability to play the whole Ashes series, plus Twenty20, 50-over and five-over exhibition matches, Ashes Cricket 2009 is the perfect thing to have ready for those inevitable English summertime rain-breaks.

Here's my detailed review....

Thank fuck I didn't pay any money for it. There's another game I won't be playing again (and I'm a cricket fanatic). Honestly, the cricket game on Big Beach Sports is more fun.

1 out of 10. And that's just for the initial buzz of anticipation when you load it up.
