While
Cricket games themselves are few and far between these days, it seems
we’ve got an edgy spin-off nonetheless. Street Cricket Champions pushes
the gentlemanly sport into the alley ways, harbours and beaches of
primary cricket locales around the world for an unhinged experience. But
don’t expect fouls and a ‘no rules’ version of the sport – it’s
basically glorified garden cricket, which is awesome anyway.
The gameplay is actually pretty
fluid in Street Cricket Champions as both bowling and batting are
handled rather well, despite being very simplistic. Batting allows
players to execute lofted, ground or defensive shots while timing the
strikes accordingly. On the other hand, bowling is all about placement
as players can use a variety of different spin and pace techniques in
order to try position their deliveries to beat the batsmen. And then
there’s fielding, which requires players to time button commands in
order to make catches, and react quickly by returning the ball to the
keeper or bowler before the batsman completes a run. The gameplay is
pretty derivative, but gamers and non-gamers will appreciate the easy-to-use controls and responsiveness.
Adding a bit of a twist to the
street-like nature of the game,
players can also perform trick-shots such as directing shots over the
keepers head and hitting specific objects in the environment for point
bonuses. But just like garden cricket in our younger days, you’ll find
objects such as windows and cars that will cause you to go out if you
hit them. These elements in the game do add a welcomed ‘grassroots’ feel
to the game which does make it unique in certain departments.
The
problem with Street Cricket Champions is in its presentation. Although
it’s a PS2 game, the graphics are unpolished, losing some clarity in the
models and environments. There are also some awkward animations,
such as fielders getting momentarily stuck on the wickets and objects
in the levels. To commend it on what it does right, the locations in the
game are varied and interesting; even Cape Town’s harbour is there,
with a blurred but visible backdrop of Table Mountain.
