Brian Lara Cricket 2007 for PC,PSP.PS2 & XBOX reviews,download information,and cheats

Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is the original "cult" cricket game. Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 is also rebranded as Ricky Ponting International Cricket 2007 in Australia and Yuvraj Singh International Cricket game in India.

Essentially, all 3 versions of the BLC cricket games produced by are the same, and are all available for PS2,PSP,PC and XBOX workstations

The Brian Lara Cricket 2007 cricket game is produced by Codemasters, the challenger to EA Sports,the big daddy of Sports games

Codemasters produces Brian Lara Cricket 2007 for PS2,PSP,PC and XBOX workstations. Codemasters is quite a upstart compared to the financial muscle of a company such as EA Sports and that was often demonstrated during the launch of Brian Lara Cricket 2007

Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is an attempt by Codemasters to match the marketing and distribution power of EA Sports by launching a cricket game that has some really cool innovations, in short,by trying harder

Codemasters' Brian Lara Cricket 2007 cricket game has some nifty features such as better graphics compared to earlier versions of BLC

BLC 2007 or the Brian Lara Cricket game 2007 has more angles to view the games and options to play the ball from the front foot, the back foot and to execute all the possible strokes. Playing the late cut in Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is an undoubtedly- Imagine late cutting a doosra from the great Muthiah Muralitharan for a four!

Hoewver, fundamentally, Brian Lara Cricket 2007 retains the excellent format of the earlier BLC version and the changes made to this attractive and largely bug free cricket game are mostly cosmetic

Brian Lara Cricket 2007 (BLC 2007) batting options

Brian Lara Cricket 2007 has two batting formats- in one format, BLC offers the ability to just choose between a ground shot and a lofted shot, select the right angle, move around the crease and then launch a four or six with the appropriate timing.

The other batting option in Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is more advanced, where you can choose the particular shot to play and execute the shot with elaborate finesse- In summary, this batting option in BLC 2007 is only for the cricket maniacs (that includes me))

Unlike the EA Sports cricket game 2007, the Brian Lara Cricket 2007 cricket game does not have the "Century Stick", but BLC 2007 still packs enough punch in the batting options to make batting more interesting

Brian Lara Cricket 2007 -Bowling options

The BLC 2007 cricket game offers the traditional bowling options of bowling an inswinger , an outwinger, a bouncer,a short ball, an overpitched ball, a leg spinner, a googly, an offspinner and the works

The good thing about Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is that one cannot get away with bowling the same good ball for six times in an over. Just because you have bowled an excellent outswinger on the first ball of the over and the batsman found it unplayable, you cannot expect to bowl the same ball in Brian Lara Cricket 2007 and get the same results. The next outswinger could be hit by the batsman for a six, showing that it is difficult to game the Brian Lara Cricket 2007 cricket game and there is at least some AI built in

Brian Lara Cricket 2007- Fielding options in PC,PSP,PS2 and XBOX versions

Brian Lara Cricket 2007 has made fielding more interesting and an integral part of gameplay in all BLC versions such as the PC,PSP,PS2 and XBOX versions

However, this feature of Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is the most controversial since it is rather difficult for a fielder to take a catch. A newbie to BLC 2007 will find it extremely difficult to take even one catch as the time horizon to press the right button as the ball dips towards the fielder is extremely short,especially in the Brian Lara Cricket XBOX and PS2 version

In summary,Codemasters would have been better served by having a automatic fielding option for newbies rather than forcing every game player to take the difficult fielding catches- newbies to BLC 2007 could be upset by their inability to take catches,until they get adequate practice

Codemasters' licensing for Brian Lara Cricket 2007 - licenses cricketers only available for ICC Cricket World cup 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy

The licensed teams and team players for Brian Lara Cricket 2007 are available only when you play the ICC Cricket World cup 2007 tournament or the ICC Champions Trophy- this is definitely a deterrent for die hard cricket fans who would love to have their favorite players such as Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Inzamam as part of all the cricket match options. Anyways, its good that Codemasters has at least managed to get the licensed team players for the the ICC Champions Trophy and the ICC Cricket World cup 2007 for the PC, XBOX, PS2,PSP and XBOX cricket game

In summary, Brian Lara Cricket 2007 is an excellent cricket game, definitely among the best cricket games for PC,XBOX,PS2,PSP and XBOX and a worthy competitor to EA Sports Cricket 2007
