Many will say, not another one, but hold  your horses, how many Cricket games are there anyway?The real dilemma for most is not the quality, which has always been  high, saying that there isnâ??t that much choice is a good argument, but  itâ??s all about what new ideas and graphical tinkering has occurred  since the previous release that really matters! Cricket, as they say, is  pretty straightforward so it would be hard to change much in a year!The real positive to many gamers is the simple fact that is you donâ??t  like Cricket you wonâ??t bother to read this nor want to play the game  â?“ although you could be missing out! The complexities of Cricket, and  it is not that straight forward, are a real plus.There are so many subtleties to Cricket it would take a lifetime to  understand them all but that is the real fascination of cricket. No two  games are ever remotely the same!If all the nuances were executed via simple and basic actions then the  real essence of cricket would be lost in the game. Understanding how the  ball spins, where to pitch the ball, what pitches and what kind of  bowlers would be more effective, are all part of the overall strategy of  being successful and implemented masterfully in Cricket 2004. There are  so many â??tinkeringâ?? factors you can undertake when playing Cricket  2004 that we are talking weeks, not days, to become the ultimate  cricketer in this alternative world!It is not often that such specialised sports games â?“ possibly apart  from American Football - you can sense that the people behind the game  understand all the nuances of this great pastime.All the great stadia from around the world have been accurately modelled  and you can see why this current version took 18 months to develop. It  will certainly take a long time to traverse the 60 finely detailed  stadia on offer, which range from England (Lords), Calcutta, Melbourne,  Auckland, Cape Town, Barbados, Lahore, etc. You could easily overlook  the fact that superb lighting and shadows of the highest grade, coupled  with real time weather, all add to the authenticity of the playing  experience. The whole ambiance of the game is nigh on perfect.With the use of motion capture, the modelling and representative look  and movement of the cricketers themselves, is also another area which  has been dramatically enhanced since the 2002 version and the once  wooden or heavy legged feel now comes across as more agile and lithe â?“  although there is still scope and latitude for more improvement!To further expand on the mechanics of the game before we move on to the  critical area of the motivation and challenge Cricket 2004, the way you  bat and bowl should be explained.It is taken as said that youâ??ve picked the location, team and mode of  play â?“ which to the connoisseur of this game could take a good 30  mins. Hey, if you are playing in India it is good to select two spinners  as well as having medium paced bowlers. Using an out and out pace  attack may get you a few wickets early on with the new ball but bowling  out the opposition will be tough. Stick to the well tried and trusted  method and most cricket fans will know what they are. With team  selection made, taking to the field as the bowling team will require a  good deal of thought, specially when placing your fielders and getting  the bowling trajectory right.Bowling is intuitive with a marker showing the accuracy and movement of  the analogue stick will determine the swing/spin to put on the ball.Actually controlling the players is a joy. Batting allows you to play a  normal shot, front foot or back foot, and depending which way you press  the pad the batsmen plays the shot. If you want more power the L1 button  increases the power of your shot, although this will often sky the ball  to a fielder. One area, which has been enhanced, is the running and  movement between the wickets.The mechanics of bowling, as we pick up again later, is more than a  simple key press to where you want the ball to land. You have to think  about where the ball might pitch, if it will bounce high and if you are  bowling to possibly take a slip catch. There are so many equations to  take in that this could be â??analogisedâ?? as a full-blown strategy  game.The battling also has its wealth of complexities to take into account.  The direction you will hit the ball, itâ??s strength and where the ball  will pitch and your position on the crease have to be assimilated. We  could further detail eventualities but we think you get the point!Put another way, Cricket 2004 can be played as a very serious challenge  over a long period of time or as a quick treat, loads of fun, over a  very short period of time!Playing against the CPU is an admirable and sometimes tough experience  and it does feel that you have an equal chance of winning!The one thing that is overpowering when you play Cricket 2004 is that  there are so many options that sometimes it can take ages to actually  start playing. There is net practice, both battling and bowling, a  chance to create your own player, endless gameplay modes from  International to State/County play from Test Series to Knockout.  Although most are merely cosmetic features they add to the overall feel  of the game and it would be a lesser game without them.Every aspect of this great game is presented from the detailed scoring  stats to a number of management aspects. There is even a Hall of Fame.  Many gamers will just want to start playing either a one day match or a  full blown test and all the other options can be performed extensively  at your leisure at a later date!Cricket 2004 is a very impressive piece of code and it is nigh on  impossible to come up with any real niggles about how the game plays or  the presentation â?“ although some of the controls take some mastering  before you start to become a real class act. Merely placing the ball  when bowling on the critical spots takes some juggling around but once  mastered you can further refine things and move on to a â??Warneâ??  level of competence but that will take a long time.Cricket 2004 does offer the kind of reward that makes perseverance an essential requirement.HintS & TipS:BOWLING:1. Utilise the full range of your bowlers.2. Vary the spin of the bowling.3. Vary the pace of the bowling.4. Fast and Medium-Fast bowlers are good on green pitches.5. Spin bowlers are best on dusty and hard pitches.6. Vary the bowling side between over and around the wicket.7. When bowling, vary your field setup frequently to defend against your opposition's shots.8. When bowling with Fast and Medium-Fast bowlers in a test match it is good to have three or four slip fielders to catch edges.9. Patience is a virtue in a Test Match.10. Slower bowlers (Spin bowlers) are more effective on damp and wet pitches.BATTING:1. Keep an eye on the opponents fielding positions and exploit the gaps.2. Use Practice nets to learn the shots and perfect your timing.3. In the Practice Nets learn every shot so that you can vary your shot selection and direction in game.4. Remember, patience is a virtue in a Test Match.5. Use the Six Hit button early on in One Day Games as the fielders have  restrictions placed on them during the first 30% of the game.6. Missing the shot results in a drop in the batsman's confidence level.7. Being hit by the ball results in a significant drop in the batsman's confidence level.8. When first batting, use the run assist function to help judge running between the wickets.ControlSDefault Keyboard controlsS Key - Front foot shot/Start a deliveryW Key - Back foot shot/Start a deliveryD Key - Advance shot, Run/Start DeliveryA Key - Play no shot, duck/Start a deliveryLeft Shift Key - Six Hit buttonSpace Key - Replay slow motion/Toggle menuLeft Control - Batsmen look leftRight Control - Batsmen look rightThe user can remap the controls to their preference.<img src="http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4465/installationlogo2.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Double click on setup and follow On-Screen InstructionS,when ask for CD-Key type 4C9H-Q5EA-R1Z1-X1XM-R0SUCopy the Razor1911 Folder`s ContentS in your Installation Directory and ...........PlayOther CD-KeyS:YRNW-EJXD-XLAU-RLEB-5MZSEWV5-BE64-E3G3-VKRM-LHA4TGHH-JEW8-Z1Z1-BGRR-ZATWY9Z9-ZGWT-9911-FG7Q-ZEVU                                                                                                                               <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download/7tontsel4um705v/Cricket_2004.torrent" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=2879&pictureid=12015" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />Rep එකක් දාගෙනම යන්න ....<img src="http://www.mediafire.com/view/811yr37dxce9s/cricket#" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
