Having been a fan of BL on the Ps2 i was REALLY looking foward to a nex gen updated and improved 360 version of the game. Now you would think that with all the capacity and power of the 360 this would not only be a good game to play but eye candy too! WRONG!! Limited game modes, poor poor graphics, limited gameplay and ANNOYING sound make this a very poor game indeed! The fielding aspect of the game is a joke, the crowds look ridiculous, as do the cricketers themselves. There's nothing hi-def about this game! Don't get me onto the loading times!! The Ps2 version was fun and playable and had a very satisfing slogfest feel to it, should that be what you want. There's no depth to this game and certainly no longevity or replay value! Once you get over the "Oh Wow I've slogged the ball extra hard and....Oh I'm out by the most AMAZING CPU fielding side, that would make Superman look sh*t" Then you'll be taking this game back. There is NOTHING special about this game! Rubbish.
