Those credits come obviously straight from the mobile version of the game which would have them as microtransactions - however those are replaced with the up front purchase of the game on PC. This is a great concept, however let down by the difference between a skilled and unskilled player being hard to notice in gameplay, as well as having no way to compete against other people - with no online features in the game.Įvery match you win in the World Cup mode scores you a card to expand your squad and you can purchase them with credits from a store. The concept is a nice World Tour, playing other composite sides in 2 over matches - with a requirement for a number of local players in your side. There's one other game mode that is perhaps the star of this game - the 'Ultimate Team' style World Tour mode - which is the best use of the World Cup licence to date. Luckily the game seems to realise that and the AI chose to bat first in all the matches I've played. The World Cup mode defaults to 5 over matches, with no obvious option to change that - however in playing longer matches in the quick play mode, it's easy enough to bowl the AI out early, and I don't think there's enough depth to the batting for anything other than chasing a total to be enjoyable. It's not difficult to win, but I do find the matches enjoyable. The field seems to change every couple of balls, but basically just fill the gap you last hit in, almost always leaving another one wide open. I find however that most of the time that sticking to the grounded shots and pointing towards the gaps can get you a fast enough run rate to win.
The other downside for the batting is a lack of any timing feedback, so it's hard to get a sense of where the right timing is. It would be the aggressive shot button in any other cricket game - meaning that you're only getting short and very fast scoring cricket here. I put grounded in quotes because it's not particularly grounded, you can get caught outside the circle playing a 'grounded' shot - it just means it's slightly less risky than the lofted shots. Obviously DBC's controls are the gold standard, but this is an improvement over the typical pitch marker based bowling schemes of old.īatting is reminiscent of old cricket games - with the 360 analogue control on a field radar and a pitch marker to tell you where the ball will be, however this is combined with shot making being narrowed down to two - 'grounded' and lofted. Obviously this is quite a smart way of implementing bowling on a touch screen, quickly drawing a path would be rather easy with your finger, but I can't call it bad when doing it with analogue sticks on a controller. You bowl by drawing the delivery path on the screen, after choosing length with a quick button press, followed by ensuring you don't deliver a no-ball by timing the release with another one.

However, with sights firmly set on using the World Cup license to drive sales in India, this World Cup's game is more of the same from a conceptual standpoint, but this time delivers a far better experience for your $10 than last time.Ī lot of this game shows its origins as a mobile phone game - especially during the excruciating initial tutorial that forces you to play it with keyboard and mouse.

We've had a video game featuring the Cricket World Cup for every edition since 1999, but the one for the 2011 World Cup took a very different turn from 2007 - Cricket Power, a modification to Cricket Revolution, was a very incomplete experience, especially when you compare it to the full scale console release that came before hand.
