ICC Pro Cricket 2015 Review

February 14th, 2014. By MattW.

In recent years, we've seen an influx of video games based on international sporting events. However, none have been as peculiarly received than those centered around cricket's premier competition - the ICC World Cup. Since its inception in 1999, there has always been a game released to coincide with this momentous occasion. Yet, one particular title stands out from the rest due to its drastic departure from what fans had come to expect.

In 2007, we were treated to 'Cricket Power,' an attempt at recreating the thrilling experience of international cricket on console platforms. However, upon closer inspection (literally and figuratively), it became clear that this wasn't quite living up to expectations. In fact, far from it - 'Crucky' as some affectionately called it was more akin to a rough-around-the-edges mod than an actual full-fledged cricket simulation experience.

Fast-forwarding several years later (and I mean SEVERAL), we finally have something worth getting excited about with the release of ICC Pro Cricket 2015. Developed by none other than EA Canada - the same folks behind such hits as NHL and FIFA series, it's safe to say that these guys know their stuff when it comes creating authentic sporting experiences for console gamers worldwide.

So what exactly sets this latest offering apart from its predecessors? For starters, let's talk about graphics quality. Gone are the blocky textures and wonky character models of yesteryear; in their place we have crisp 1080p resolution visuals that rival even some top-tier titles currently gracing store shelves today.

But visual fidelity isn't everything - after all, as they say 'the devil's in the detail.' Thankfully for cricket fans everywhere (yes, there are still plenty out there!), EA Canada has taken great pains to ensure every aspect of gameplay feels impressively realistic. From perfectly captured ball physics and player animations down to meticulously detailed stadium environments that transport you straight onto the pitch itself - this truly is an immersive experience unlike any other on current gen consoles.

Of course, no sports game would be complete without some healthy competition thrown into the mix either! Fortunately for those looking for a bit of friendly rivalry action with friends or family members alike at home (or even online via PS3/360 matchmaking features), there's plenty here to keep you busy too - from classic modes like Exhibition matches through to more competitive Multiplayer modes where skill will ultimately decide champion status.

All things considered then, it seems EA Canada has finally got their act together with regards producing a truly top-notch cricket simulation title worthy of bearing the hallowed 'ICC' badge. With its stunning visuals combined alongside incredibly realistic gameplay mechanics that'll keep both casual and hardcore fans alike entertained for hours on end - look no further than picking up ICC Pro Cricket 2015 today!
