Vercetti42 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) This is both hilarious and disgraceful. Ashes Cricket 2013 released for PC exclusively on Steam a week back, it was all set to release for consoles soon. And the game you guys wait, it has a user rating of what 0.8 on metacritic, it was 0.2 at one point but really there is a lot more to it. Ah yes lets see: The game first of all has NO graphical options absolutely none! Believe it or not, there is only ONE option and that is to change the screen resolution, okay well let's say that's one problem but there is more. No practice mode! Which means you can't pracitise before playing the game! You just have to do whatever you want but oh there is a lot more: Worst control assignment ever. Hell there aren't even controls for some of the moves, you just have to guess what to do. I know a lot of you guys don't follow cricket but really you get the gist. NO option to change the camera angles none! No difficulty setting, No replay options. Bug filled. All of this for a price of $20 on Steam. This is an absolute disgrace to the gaming world, hell I don't even think it qualifies as a 'game'. The Developers actually cancelled the game due to it being so bad.

theadmiral Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) It is total sh*t. I downloaded it for free (Not ashamed to say it) which I normally do not do - But I know cricket games are usually garbage so I wanted to try it first. If it was good, I would have bought it. I had a good laugh for about 30 minutes and turned it off and erased it. The only thing decent about it was the run up and delivery mechanic for bowling. I just read on the BBC that the developer is pulling it and offering refunds now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25142072 Edited November 29, 2013 by theadmiral Finn 7 five 11 1 I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEO, BUT MY WEBCAM IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.

Kiffster Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hahaha! Actually hilarious! I've only ever played one cricket game, and that was quite a few years ago (can't remember which game it was). I hated it and I haven't bought another one since. How the hell did the developers think this game was ready for release?! Probably the worst game I've ever seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterEdit Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) I think a great contender for the worst game ever is Ride to Hell: Retribution. If you want a video review, probably the best video review of the game... AngryJoeShow, heh. User rating on IGN: 1.4.

Guest Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Check out the developer's website. Right at the bottom, I found this "Founded in 2009, Trickstar have developed an impressive portfolio of titles including International Cricket 2010, Jane’s Advance Strike Fighters, Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII, StuntMania, StuntMania Reloaded, Fumes: Stunt Racer and Tankz as well as BAFTA nominated, UK & Australia No.1 hit title - Ashes Cricket."

IGN Rating: (Does not even exist) I think it's close to one of the worse games ever. I think it is worse than Big Rigs because the budget seems to have been substantially bigger.

ryuclan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Big Rigs is an ultimate disgrace. But you gotta admit having absolutely no speed limit in reverse is pretty funny and a huge oversight on their part. Finn 7 five 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misbegotten cad Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Temper temper! Whoever said cricket is easy to play, what? Just think back to those rainy days at the boarding school, old chap, with us boys running around in the mud and sleet, frozen to the marrow. -Or standing around shivering while the head master tried to decide whether the ball had been in or not, after Chester 'Jumpy' Harrington had accidentally nudget it with his boot. Ah! Great times! So, what this game really needs is more mud and rain, to make it more British. I mean if you want to play in the sunshine, you travel to India, the old Jewel of te Crown, right, old bean?
