In the era of 3D games and High graphics comes a 2D game which at first don’t give users a good impression. I have been in good and constant touch with the maker of this game Kurt and he is doing a magnificent job in keeping this game interesting and adding all the latest technology.
This game comes with Exhibition mode to Series creation and Tournament Creation. The graphics currently would be rated 6 out of 10 due to it being a 2D game but the effort & the simulation engine is really some thing great to see. Cricket Heroes creator & developer Kurt has said with the Beta Testing in progress the game will see it self changing from 2D to 3D.
This game can be played in 3 Modes –
- Management Mode where you just manage the teams
- Keyboard Mode where you can play the game with the help of Keyboard
- Mouse Mode
The features that make this game playable and addictive are
- Feature of UDRS system implemented in it
- Good simulation engine
- Plenty of teams to play with including IPL Teams that are going to be added in few time
- Fully implemented Domestic structure of Australia & South Africa and many more to come.
- The Australia Domestic structure comes with split innings which is the latest inclusion in the Australian Domestic structure.
The menu graphics and scorecard graphics are pretty decent which is made by Meet a graphic maker on Planet Cricket. Hedger, another member on Planet Cricket has really been helpful in the progress of this game with him responsible in creation of various domestic & international teams.
There are wide range of umpires that you can select during the exhibition mode. The better the umpire you select the less DRS decions will be taken. All stadiums of each and every country including Zimbabwe are present in the game. This gives user a good variety of stadiums to select from and play at. Judging their progress so far this game surely has the potential to reach new heights.
Here are some screenshots & video of this game.
This game is exclusively available on Planet Cricket and those who want to help in trial version of beta testing can join that website and download the official version from that website. Here is the thread link
