Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 for Windows

Angry gamers feeling let down by over-hyped game” syndrome is something I have observed close up upon the release of every cricket game since EA’s Cricket2002. Every release day cricket-gamers far and wide sally forth to search the Holy Grail and yet again it seems that they are going to be disappointed. With years of disappointment and disillusionment behind me (I also support the England cricket team) I fired up BLIC07 with low expectations. Ultimately, whilst Codemasters have undoubtedly worked hard on this title and implemented some nifty new features it seems they have neglected the sine qua non of cricket gaming – the gameplay. Put simply the game has major pacing issues and the AI is depressingly stupid.
