Cricket Revolution Reviews

I figured for three bucks I basically couldn't miss. I was so wrong. This game potentially has the very worst control scheme of any game ever. Save your three dollars, literally anything is a better use for them.

Unfortunately, though the key bindings seems innovative, it doesnt really work well or offer in-depth play for the keen cricket (game) enthusiasts... Leave this well alone, unless it's on offer for a few bucks or two euros...

Slight problems the demo which is nets only works ok on my old computer but the full version which has both nets and field games the field is bad bit misleading though the nest still work the sam on the full game also a bit slow/long to load no controller works on it and the online play says can't find server oh well for €3.00 keep it for when get a better computer.

This is the worst Cricket game I ever played, and I played plenty of dodgy cricket games. Worst controls,worst fielders, worst bowlers. 0/10

After an hour or so of playing against AI, I've had enough. AI batsmen hitting yorkers for six or just late cutting them for four, fielders throwing the ball so slowly the batsmen can run two while the ball is in the air. Not sure about the adrenaline thing, all I know is AI bowler comes on, bowls two wides and ends up with full adrenaline, I bowl an over and the gauge doesn't move.

There are many flaws with this game which ruin it and make it rage enducing to play. Batting even on the easiest setting is not only counter-intuitive, but it is almost impossible.To time the shot correctly it seems you have to press the buttons around the time the bowler lets go of the ball: not as the ball is in flight and about to pitch. The problem with this is it is almost impossible to know when the game starts timing you as to when you should press your shot selection! Press too early and it does not register as the bowler is still classed as running up, or press too late when the ball is in flight and about 1/3 of the way down the pitch (i.e. when you would actually start making your shot in real life) and the batter misses and gets out. No where is there a timing gauge (like the EA cricket games have) which would let you get a sense of when to time the ball. In the practice nets there are criptic written proms which say 'too late' or 'too early', but This does not help as the speed of bowling naturally varies from ball to ball so it does not let you get an idea of when you should have pressed the buttons. There is no system to tell you how well you timed something in the matches at all, and as the ball often appears to sail through the bat without making contact it is impossible to know what you did wrong! At least once I have been out LBW when the ball did appear not hit the batter but all the fielders appeal as if it did, and obviously the umpire just triggers you. I can only assume the reason there is no 'action replays' in this game is because this would highlight these frustrating incidents. Like most games of this type, the bowling is dull and the AI batters can play insane physics defying shots which defeat the point of setting fielders. Avoid this game.

This is a pretty poor game. Not only is the multi-player buggy as hell, the game is not intuitive and even for a cricket fan it's pretty poor. There are a few better options out there, and I'd recommend checking them out before thinking about this one.

Absolutely class, controls are very realistic. Was watching the cricket at the same time and got confused which was which. 10/10

This games got you covered! "A definite MUST BUY if you hate the internet and your friends!" ~ Nelson "The man" mandela, 2016

If you want to play Cricket on Steam you're basically stuck with this, but it's hard to justify even at a low cost. The gameplay is both incredibly simplistic (fielding is all automatic and bowling is very toned-down) and needlessly complex (many, many ways to swing, each with their own button combination.) There's not a whole lot to do but just play games with the teams they provide you (no customization or anything like that) so even if you can get past the controls, there's not much to do. Worst yet, the game isn't supported anymore and you can't create accounts for it, so setting up multiplayer requires using external programs like Hamachi. A bunch of my friends bought the game for each other as gag gifts, and even the people who liked cricket couldn't find much to enjoy. The game's probably not even be worth it for $2.99.
