World Cricket Championship 2 is a cricket simulation mobile game that was created by Nextwave Multimedia.
Multiple Modes of Play
World Cricket Championship 2 was a highly anticipated game in the cricket-playing South Asian countries. Its predecessor was widely popular there. Nextwave understood that enthusiasm and delivered a game to meet those expectations.
The game provides several gameplay modes to help players with different levels of skills. Players can choose the practice mode to improve or simply start in the quick play mode. They can then select any of the tournaments. It has both blitz tournaments and world cups. You can also play as a part of the Indian National Premier League.
Motion Capture, Precision Controls and AI: Hits and Misses
The game has used motion capture technology to recreate the movements of real cricket players. The quality of the graphics reflects the extra effort. Whether you are batting or bowling, the extra details in the images will give you a realistic feeling.
Unfortunately, the controls don’t deserve the same amount of praise. The precision of the bowling control is unpredictable. It might be off balance due to the weak artificial intelligence (AI). Also, the AI behavior has raised some flags. For instance, AI batting seem to outperform real players every single time.
Conclusion
Even with a weak AI, World Cricket Championship 2 provides an entertaining and addictive experience. It gives you enough practice and tournament modes to keep you occupied for a long time. If you get tired of the AI opponents, you can always play against another human being in the “challenge a friend” mode. But for cricket fans, this game satisfies all the urges.
Pros
- Motion captured graphics
