Ashes Cricket Critic Reviews
View All (14 total)Ashes Cricket isn't pitch perfect, but it's the best videogame representation of the sport to date.
While it doesn't quite score a century, Ashes Cricket still puts in a decent knock.
The Ashes isn't going to bowl over non-cricket fans, but it's a solid representation of the sport, and not that biased against us poms.
It may be occasionally janky, and despite best intentions, it isn't always as easy to understand as it could be, yet Ashes Cricket's bright spots shine through the flecks of grime. This is not a perfect game of cricket, but it is a good one.
