Like the aforementioned DiRT 2, this is another game we've been slogging it out on and can tell cricket fans looking for the definitive Gentleman's Game experience, Ashes Cricket 09 is well worth your time.
Stay tuned for our full review soon, but for now, check the launch trailer right here (and Wii here).

BTW this game is dev'd by Transmission Games in Melbourne, which is pretty impressive. It's been number one top-seller in the UK charts for the last two weeks. I think it has a Metacritic score of ~75
Worth checking out for cricket lovers.

Hired it on the ps3 and its much more playable. I figure they just cant port the game. Also my xbox 360 controller plugged into the PC isn't automatically used as default controller when i jumped into the game, so i had to play an entire 20 20 using a keyboard and the controls are like: control moves to back foot, shift moves to front foot, wasd moves the direction of where to hit the ball, up down left and right are what stroke to play and q and e are to move left and right of the wicket.
So you line up a shot, the bowler changes his bowl at the last second you move left while pressing q to shift into position, you press d to change where you want the ball to be played to, you press ctrl to change your footing and before you press left down or right the guys stumped you from behind because there are too many f*****g buttons to press and you were out of the goddamn crease.
luckily it plays better on the gamepad, but it would be nice when using it to not be told to press control to change front or back foot when its left triggers...
The game is basically half assed.
