Ashes Cricket isn't pitch perfect, but it's the best videogame representation of the sport to date.

Ashes Cricket offers the very best cricket game so far. As well as being the most realistic, it offers more approachable gameplay to help draw you in and looks excellent, particularly the licensed players and major stadiums. While it has a few bugs here and there, it also features an extensive customisation system and a number of game modes. There's a lot to love and keep you engrossed.

Ashes Cricket isn't perfect, but that's unfortunately to be expected from Big Ant cricket games at launch. But the stacks of little bugs aren't enough to detract from the overall accomplishments of a fully featured cricket game, which is as appealing to cricket aficionados as it is to those looking to have a quick bash.

While it doesn't quite score a century, Ashes Cricket still puts in a decent knock.

The Ashes isn't going to bowl over non-cricket fans, but it's a solid representation of the sport, and not that biased against us poms.
