I can remember buying the PS2 version of BLC on the release day and did the same with the XBox 360 version yesterday. I spent the morning playing against the CPU, and the afternoon, evening and most of the night playing on XBox live!So, is it a far superiour upgrade to the PS2? Well, unfortunately, no. The game engine seems to be identical with just 3 extra batting shots (you can now perform two sweep shots and can run down the wicket to a short pitched ball) which take a little time to master, but as far as the shots that you can play to certain types of deliveries (ie playing against the seam is a no-no) there is no difference. The bowling is improved slightly (as discussed below)

This is definatly the best cricket game ever made, but you have to realise that there is no competition in the way of next gen cricket games so therefore, it easy beats any PS2 conterparts hands-down.Firstly, gameplay. As it always is in Brain Lara games, it is a batsmans paradise, boudaries come easily and racking up 500 runs in a test match is no hard job, even on some of the harder dificulties. Bowling, however, is greatly improved, the controls and generics of bowling are esentially the same as BLIC 2005 PS2, howver, more refined. The inclusion of a autoplay mode also helps to move things along more quickly in those long test matches. However,

I agree with the first post made, great game. I particulary like the batting, the bowling is good, with each bowler having different characteristics. And, I don't agree that catches are WAY too hard, they are challenging at first. But still fun, when you've mastered them. The fielding is good, and there are good selection of fielding positions to choose, when you're bowling.Apart from that though. I don't like how if you do a bad throw, or sometimes if you do a decent throw. The wicket keeper, knocks off the bails, not needed. It's completely pointless, and wastes time, just watching it. I also, would prefer for example, dancing down the wicket, button combinations were a bit shorter,

Whilst its the best cricket game on 360... the previous one (2005) was at least more competitive. I mean I've played this on the hardest, realistic setting (test) and made over 1200 runs in 60 overs in one innings of a test match. The only way to make it competitive is to save it after an innings and then load it up and play as the other team and try to chase down the mammoth score you made previously. The only other way to make it remotely competitive is to play as Bermuda or Ireland against Australia or the West Indies. It makes it MUCH harder... you have to rely on lots of singles, but its STILL too easy! I tried a 20/20 game on the 'slog' setting thinking that would be the hardest.

I agree with a lot of the posts here - it is a fun game, but it is far too easy to bat. There is little fun in bowling, and it can feel a little like it doesn't make any difference what you do, you still get smashed around and the catches still go up. Catches are far too difficult by the way!The fielders feel far to slow. All-run fours are far too common, and don't get me started on the throwing at the stumps thing.The annoyance of the keeper whipping the bails off at every opportunity can be alleviated by shouting "Howzat!" as loudly as you can whenever he does it. Anyone who's seen Corporal Jones doing this in Dad's Army will know exactly how to do it.

The game is good - there is no denying it, however it is flawed.The wicket keeper knocking over the stumps every time is very tiresome after a while. The fielding seems to be hit or miss.Never the less, the game is fun, enjoyable and easy to pick up and play. Its great for wasting away those dull sunday afternoons after the roast dinner, but dont expect too much from it.

just played the demo, graphics have inproved greatly. Although the gameplay is somewhat jerky on the bowlers approach making timing difficult. fielding is also a bit more difficult now with the timing bar poping up before the ball gets to the player. Other than these small pointers the game is shaping up nicely. Fingers crossed the jerkyness will be sorted before the release

Brian Lara in the next generation is excellent. Easy to pick up and play but if your looking for something slightly more substantial then it contains the features to accomadate that type of gamer as well. Could do with a few more licensed players and could branch out to club teams but i am just being picky. Despite this its a Quality game!

I played the demo and was quite impressed, never had a cricket game before but I like this very much. Looks great in high def although the umpire looks a bit worse for wear :)Roll on Summer and lazy afternoons whacking the ball out of the stadium.!
