8MB Graphics card
Game modes and teams
You can play both one day and test cricket. In the one day form you can play the world cup, shajarah or one off games. The one day form is either 10, 20 or 50 overs long. With the test matches you can play one of or 3/5 Match Series. All tournaments/test matches give detailed player statistics (averages/runs/wickets/catches etc.) so you can see whos performing and who isn't. There are all the major test playing nations plus a few others and most of the teams are accurate and up to date.
Gameplay
Overall the gameplay is very good. For the batsman there are loads of different shots available - about 20 in all i think. Bowling is less varied - there are about 5 different types of bowler available and you can control the spin on the ball, the length you bowl it and speed it is bowled. It is also possible to control the fielding and also the field set up. It is a game that takes a while to master, the bowling can be particularly difficult and it will be a while before you can bowl out Australia!
The main downside to the gameplay is that some of the umpiring decisions can be dubious to say the least and also the fielding can be frustrating in that its extremely difficult to run out the opposition (though i get run out all the time!).
There are a number of in game statistics (run rates/spider graphs and all) which help in improving your performance.
Graphics
Undoubtedly the best graphics of any cricket game on the market. The players are very detailed and your sure to recognise your favourite players. The grounds and pitches are also excellently detailed although the crowd could do to be improved.
Sound
Most of the in-game sound is very good but the commentary can become very repetetive and sometimes you just wish that the commentators would keep quiet for a while rather than repeat over and over again!
Overall
EA Cricket 2002 certainly met my expectations - the graphics are excellent, the range of teams and players in unrivalled and the gameplay is generally very good. There are a few bugs which let the game down (bad umpiring/ ball going over rope and four not being given) but if you are a cricket fan you are sure to enjoy it anyway. For the none cricket fan there is enough there for you to try and enjoy but will probably become bored of it quite quickly/
