Cricket is one of the sports with more followers and more passion in the world, but strangely enough it is quite little known in other geographical areas. If you are a cricket fan, or want to discover the magic of this peculiar sport, you just have to try its greatest exponent in the world of video games: Brian Lara International Cricket.
Play in the role of England, Australia or the West Indies and conquer the mythical The Oval. Show your skills and hit the ball wildly like Brian Lara, one of the greatest players of all time.
This version of Brian Lara International Cricket does not include the voices of commentators. It is the sequel to the first Brian Lara Cricket '99, and contains real tournaments such as the World Cup held in Africa in 2003, or the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy. These two competitions are officially licensed by the ICC (International Cricket Council ) and contain real players, uniforms, sponsors and shields. The rest of the game modes, which are many, do not have official licenses.
During the games, the game adopts a perspective similar to that of television broadcasts, in addition to other views and less common but also very useful elements: hawk eye, electronic ball control systems when they are thrown, etc.
The game modes that we can find in Brian Lara International Cricket are: test match, test series, day game, world cup, ICC champions tournament, and training mode. There are several levels of difficulty (Slog mode, village, county and test) that will affect mostly batting and throwing actions.
Personalization is a very present quality in Brian Lara International Cricket. We can build our own team from players from the rest of the game. Another interesting way is the so-called Classic XI, with the presence of legendary players from the past such as WG Grace, Imran Khan or Jim Laker. We can also build our own player, assigning qualities and scores, and building their sports career from scratch.
And finally, we have to mention the entertaining challenge mode that puts us in real situations of historical matches. The player can recreate the story or change it completely, depending on the team we want to play with. This mode includes mythical parties like The birth of The Ashes, the Bodyline party of 1933, the six six of Garfield Sobers, or the final of the 2003 World Cup. In total we have ten challenges at our disposal.
