Advantages: no steep learning curve, so you can get into the game quite simply Disadvantages: to much tied-in to the Ashes, number of teams low,
...it!) For the non-Wii owners, Ashes Cricket 2009 is also available on other consoles, but I am reviewing only the Wii version. I picked it up on Amazon along with an order of books – and paid 27.78 – RRP is 29.99. I can't profess to be much of a gamer so possibly my review might reflect this. I look for a game that is easy to pick up, that allows you to play it „out of the box“ and for you to get into it before understanding the intracacies – a bit ... ...is ultimately to win the Ashes (and ideally 5-0 winning every game by 10 wickets and/or an innings).
