Awesome!! – World Cricket Championship Review

Update: the new update has made this game worthless. It is buggy and crashes. I have not been able to bowl a single over because the umpire Keeps giving no balls and free hits. No longer possible to hit big sixes. Not happy! Please update!!!! I love this game. Easy and intuitive controls for both batting and bowling. Batting has several classic shots to choose from and bowling is also actually fun. You can bowl fast as well as spin. You can control line, length, and spin angle. And the implementation is near perfect with high resolution graphics. The good: 1. Elegant graphics. Nice use of screen space that includes the little score card, little window showing running btwn wickets etc. Looks exactly like what you see when you watch the game on TV. 2. Good selection of shots including reverse sweep. 3. Great controls in bowling. Can vary speed, line, length and spin angle. 4. It is possible to set the field. 5. Nice 3D views. The camera follows the action just like a TV camera in a real game. 5. Just great work on details of the game and interface. Also I haven't experienced any crashes or apparent bugs. The bad: NONE really but there's room for improvement. Specifically, 1. The game could be a little more challenging. It is too easy to hit sixes and fours. It is also easy to get wickets or get hit for a six or four. Not much need for 1s and 2s. Don't know if 3s are possible. Maybe there can be a difficulty level setting. 2. it would be nice to add the dancing down the wicket shot. Also, nice to have the need for more defensive shots. 3. Somewhat more precise control over shots. Sometimes I find that even though I swipe to play a particular shot it plays another. 4. Commentary is fun but quickly gets monotonous. That database could be expanded a little. 5. Ability to go around or over the wicket for bowling. 6. Ability to bowl for and get caught behinds. 7. Ability to choose teams. The bastardized names are funny but prefer real names. To me this game is perfect as is but I can see how it can be way more than perfect!!!
