Wii Cricket

One game genre that would be ideally suited to the Wii would be a cricket game. The motion sensitive controller, which works so well with tennis and bowling, is ideally suited to cricket and has the potential to create highly realistic, in-depth cricket game.

Cricket games for the Wii

There are currently a number of cricket games available on the wii, Big Beach Sports features beach cricket, which although fun for a short while, is very simplistic and you quickly tire of the game. The second game is World Sports Party which also features beach cricket. Again this is more of a fun cricket game providing little in way of realism.

The first proper circket game, Ashes 2009 by codemasters, the creators of the great Brian Lara cricket is the only real cricket game out on the Wii and for any Cricket fan it will become an essential item.

Sadly there isn't any further cricket games planned for the wii which is unfortunate as Ashes 2009 was well received. Even International Cricket 2010, the sequal to Ashes 2009 is not coming to the Wii :-(

Sadly, we are still waiting for a cricket motion plus game to appear for the Wii
