Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 is easily the best cricket game of all time.
The best overall cricket game ever, Excellent game-play, Good graphics and sound, Low system requirements, Hawkeye, Various game modes, Impressive net practice.
No Network/Internet play support, Huge installation size, No Geoffrey Boycott.
The highly hyped EA Sports' Cricket 2005 turned out to be a major disappointment for Cricket fans. Other than the visual elements, there was hardly anything going for it. The controls were too tedious and the game-play lacked the enjoyment factor. In that review, I mentioned how EA and Codemasters differed in their core focus when developing cricket games and why Brian Lara Cricket 99 continues to be a more enjoyable game than all the EA versions. However, one couldn't help noticing the dated graphics in that game and a new version of the same was long overdue. And here we are with just that. Can Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 surpass the game-play standards set by its own predecessor and match EA games in the graphical attributes? Let's find out.
The Package
The game arrived in a neat plastic case that housed the serial number, a quick start guide, a comprehensive game manual and SIX CDs... OMG! That has to be the largest Sports game ever in terms of installation size. Six CDs is a lot for any game and for one belonging to the Sports genre, it is way over the top. Swapping CDs was a pain but the installation went smoothly. I hope there is a DVD version available. There were no cribs about the presence of any CD emulation software; something I encountered when installing EA Cricket 2005. The total installation size measured just under 4.3 GB. So make sure you have that much space on the partition where you wish to install this game. After that, just pop in CD1 and enjoy.
