Ashes cricket 2009: wii gameplay footage, australia v south africa

[CricketLoverist]

Ashes are Aus vs Eng

[TheKingOfGreatGames]

Who cares about the graphics....At least the game is there on the Wii..

[hartro4]

The Ashes 2009 on X-box 360 is hell better, then wii

[sherwoodxxx]

wtf looks just like brian lara lmfao

[shayneluvsgilly]

Do u no if u can dance down the pitch in this game and if u can how do u do it

[MrJakini]

@shayneluvsgilly i don't think u can

[SUPERIOR124555]

this is just wii cricket not ashes

[tommahawk101]

in england its called ashes cricket but nin aus its just cricket weird hey

[SrijanOwns]

lol i have this same game and i do like it a bit but its to easy to score run... and its un realistic as in brian lara rules...

[greatdevil88]

he missed the ball and he got a six! wtf!

[TRPWiz]

lol, I'm playing Brian Lara Internation Cricket 2007 on the PC...and this Wii game is almost identical...Except for the fact BL2007 is WAY better...

I mean, I watched this vid, and he didn't even seem to HIT the ball and it flew for 6...

Even the commentary is identical...

And the bowler seems to "waggle" down the run up...

Same controls too...

Nah, me not gonna get the Wii game...lol...Ah well...

[Tatt281]

Nother of master skip Ricky Pontings ideas. Maybe he shood learn a bit about life or at least a little about how to set fields in cricket??

[Tatt281]

Just putting it out ther but wa is teh captain thinking? wats teh go with the fielder next to the bowlers run up but unorthodox id say?

[cheezie760]

i dont like cricket games where its hell easy to hit boundarys i like them when u have to work up to hit them, like ponting 07

[woopwazza]

on ponting 07 it's easy to hit boundaries

[cheezie760]

yeah but you still kinda gotta work it up to hit 6s after that its so easy

[SkitzB]

All Ponting games are easy as fuck to 4s and 6s

EA games are way harder on high dificulty levels

[IFK13Cwalk]

just found out that its been delayed till november

[IFK13Cwalk]

when is this out in australia

[reymisteriocheese]

now

[IFK13Cwalk]

where can i get it its not on any websites

[IFK13Cwalk]

hey do you swing the remote or just point

[reymisteriocheese]

swing

[yeah1101]

this game is actually very good the graphics are miles better than this shows gameplay is good and shots are realistic. only problem is after about 10 mins gameplay i could hit boundaries off most balls on hard

[itfcfan4eva]

looks good im gonna play on it later but the commentators sound rubbish but its not a big deal tbh

[Craiggunnerladd]

Looks like if the shots are being placed too late

[adeelalam084]

mmm..sounds like brian lara 2005....

[1234legend1234]

The ashes on the wii has such mixed reviews i dont know if to get it or not can any one give any advice also is there any online play for the Wii. Overall is it a good cricket game and is it fun.

[XPil3s]

btw only AUS and ENG are lsnced??

[yeah1101]

yeah

[JD5H4H]

lisen evry1 i first thought this game was gnna be crap wen i saw dis video but wen i acually got the game it was wicked the graphics are better then brian lara and the gameplay is brilliant as u see the person battin in this vid has a arrow so it looks lyk u hav 2 put the arrow first well lise peepl u dnt need to u can jus swing in the area u want and thers a shot played by u also the ashes on the wii is very fun it is interativ as u can talk to umpire b4 u bat nd captain nd comentry changes

[FreakyMango]

1, of course the graphics are going to be better on the PS3 or XBOX DUH! The WII is all about better and more interactive game play.

2. the quality if the recording is poor

[13345678900]

pc version is better than wii

[hello140692]

wow graphics and animations are so bad... why do they bother?

[reymisteriocheese]

the graphics are actually superb on the wii so they must be amazing on ps3

[swankyL]

@reymisteriocheese the faces are like shit like bl 07

[magpie248]

the grafics are good its just his recorder thats bad

[emakande]

compared to 360 n ps3 the graphics r rubbish...

[Aliman862]

does the wii version have online mode btw

[Aliman862]

thank you citizen defo buying this gme 2moz and also thankyou to the video owner. could you possibly put up a match or sumthing

[hardgayramen4ever]

animation looks total shit. I'm sure the game is ass and a total cash in.

[englandvsa]

What challenge is this?

[reymisteriocheese]

the field comes in, to pay ffor these aggresive tactics hit as many sixes as you can, but dont lose a wicket!

[neildaust]

geez cricket games havnt come far since the 90's. whens a developer going to step up and make a true to life fast flowing game? theres gotta be a huge market out there.

[apwilsondeanclose]

wats teh gameplay like?? is it a good buy, just ordered it, wanna know wat its like

[reymisteriocheese]

got the wii version, its absaloutrely brilliant!

[Citizen52]

I don't know if anyone has replied yet so sorry if they have. Basically you point the remote at a ball on the wicket, which triggers the aim, so you aim and press A. Then the run-up starts, you can either hold A again for a slower ball or B for a faster one, (or A&B for a perfect ball if you've bowled 3 good ones in a row - there's a timing bar). When your bowler approaches you swing the remote down and tilt it which way you want the ball to swing, if you do. That's about it.

[SteveyKoz]

thanks mate

that helps heaps

[SteveyKoz]

all i want to know is if you actualy get to use the wii remote as a bat, or if you press a button for the timing, like on the ps3

[callumk9129]

do you have ps3 and the ashes 2009 if so i wouldn't mind giving you a match reply and tell me you online id :D

[SteveyKoz]

nah mate

no ps3, its my cousins :S

[Citizen52]

Basically mate, you would not necessarily need to point it downwards like a bat, but you don't press a button to time it. The time is in the swing of the remote, holding A down while swinging does a defensive nudge, B does an attacking shot, hope this helps. Also, you can hold down on the d-pad when the bowler is in the run-up and aim the remote at the screen for your shot direction if you want. It's pretty cool.

[mrDEVisthebest]

how could u be south africa in ashes ?

r u aloud to be any team

[Jarek117]

Yeah there's all of the International teams and it's not just the Ashes you can play it's T20's, ODI's and test matches.

[AmFilms123]

Ashes is jus the name. There are various other modes of play where other teams can play. The Ashes series is the mode after which the games is named.

Cant you see its not Test cricket going on. Color costumes!

[PivotFan97]

Wtf is this? Is there a demo for Wii?

[reymisteriocheese]

no, it was posted online as a demo by the creators of the game

[reedy0809]

Is this how bad the graphics really are or is the video just blury?

[reymisteriocheese]

blury

[madsgroves]

they use a red ball for one days

[reymisteriocheese]

nope, red ball = test , white ball = one days

[eurodude9999]

im not worried about the names, if you can't distinguish that kollace is kallis then maybe you don't watch enough cricket?!?!

[yeah1101]

Who is Kollace meant to be?

[penguinatoring]

im guessing Jacques Kallis

dnt they have the official kits or names on the wii version of this game

[reymisteriocheese]

dude the only registered teams are england and australia, this applies for all platforms, they couldnt get the right for other teams

[yeah1101]

They got Kits and Names for England and Australia but not the others =(

[RossTHFC]

this uses almost the exact same commentary as the original brian lara on the ps1

[spicer1984]

Hi, so in the wii version do not even use the wii mote as a bat? very dissapointing if not.

[reymisteriocheese]

if u read earlier comments i say that as the bowlers running up you aim where to hit then u use the remote like a bat harder and better timing = better place shot and vice berca

[spicer1984]

would you say it is good and worth getting? I want it to be as close to real thing as possible :)

[reymisteriocheese]

well its as close as u wil lget

[reedy0809]

Yes you do use the wii mote as a bat, you use the d-pad to place shots and use the bat to play the shot making sure you time it. If you do not time it it will go as far and you could top edge the ball etc.

[lblakhs]

They haven't worked on the wii version as much as other paltforms.

[reymisteriocheese]

the main england team on the game includes: strauus cook pieterson collingwood prior flintoff andersson broad swann and panesar 12th man onions (this is the england ashes test match part) it may change in 20/20

[MustafaDonview07]

Dude, where did you get the video?

And are you uploading the 360 gameplay vid? It would be a big help.

[reymisteriocheese]

what happens is, with as the bowler marks where his bounce will land u use the remote to choose where to face the bat, then when it bounces you swing the emote like a normal bat. the better timing and bigger swing the further the ball goes and vice verca. for bowling u use remote to pick where to bowl then using arrows pick whether to swin then , do a bowling action the faster you do this the faster the bowl. hope i helped

[zachtellett]

Just one question, are the wii controls good, meaning do you actually bowl? and bat? w/b ! :D

[delboye101]

They're not bad, actually! It can sometimes seem like it does a lot of the work for you but you've got control of where you're hitting the ball and it's timing based. There's also a confidence thing for each batsman, so if you bowl well it gets harder for them to hit it!
