This June Codemasters will be bringing Ashes Cricket to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC with licensed English and Australian teams.
The Ashes venues will all be included of course, and unlicensed teams will have a showing too. AC2009 is being developed by Transmission Games, and it’ll include multiplayer.
”Adding to the authenticity of the game, Codemasters has secured the commentary of Tony Grieg, Ian Bishop, Shane Warne, Ian Botham, and Jonathan Agnew,” reports GameSpot.
For teams who haven’t made it into AC2009, a player and team editor will let fans add them in. Multiplayer supports four offline and two online through all game modes and teams.
”Delivering all the exciting, athletic, skilful and technical elements of the sport, the game’s comprehensive ‘Ashes’ mode will feature all five Tests played out at carefully detailed recreations of each authentic venue,” say Codemasters.
”In addition, gamers will also be able to play Test matches, One Day Internationals, 20 over games and a series of challenge modes.” The challenge modes are historical scenarios that can be played out with modern day cricketers.
Ashes Cricket 2009 is being released on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC this year.
