Ashes Cricket 2009 Demo

While baseball is definitely the most popular American sport, England has it's own variation of the game and it is called cricket. Hence, although the main ideas are similar, there are many differences between the two versions, especially when it comes to the equipment, the bats used to execute the hits and the layout of the field.

Ashes Cricket 2009 is a simulator that enables you to enjoy the sport from the comfort of your own home, as well as compete in the most prestigious cups and tournaments from all over the world. The game is also fully licensed by the responsible authorities, which means that the players, stadiums, competitions and the equipment are all in accordance with their real counterparts.

Beside the famous brands seen on the shirts of the players, you can also enjoy some truly beautiful stadiums from all over the world, including the Lords and The Brit Oval, which are among the biggest arenas out there. The entire team rosters and stars are available as well, all of which are carefully modeled to look as real as possible, using advanced facial animation and exceptional character rigging to express their movements.

Tests are basically the largest matches of the sport, each one of which takes place in a different venue and has a certain history behind it. The developers have managed to recreate all five of them, as well as give you the opportunity to take part in the matches and have your time in the spotlight. Naturally, it all depends on your ability to get there and whether you can defeat the best teams in the world.

Another thing that shines at the game at hand is the physics engine, which accurately represents the ball trajectories whenever you manage to hit it with your bat. The graphic engine is just as good, featuring amazing post-processing effects and very high-resolution textures to go along with the sublime animations and careful character modeling that can be observed in the players.

Even if the sport is not that popular, it is every bit as difficult and fun to watch as any other game and Ashes Cricket 2009 manages to depict this fact in a very convincing manner.
