Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 is a video game developed by Swordfish Studios Limited and published by Codemasters. It was originally released in 2005 for PCs, Mac and the PlayStation 3 gaming console from Sony. It is classed as a sports simulator played from an isometric perspective. The title benefits from the use of a license from the International Federation of Cricket. So, expect it to feature all the major stars of international cricket relevant for the year of the release and some of the most important cricket venues in the world, which are reproduced in great detail using the game engine.

The release offers a variety of game modes designed to

provide different levels of immersion. The World Tour mode is the most important part, where you need to take control of an international team and guide it to victory for as long as you remain in charge. A full array of managerial options is available for those playing the game, including training matches, international fixtures and choosing line-ups.

The Tournament mode is designed to simulate only particular tournaments that take place in a year, so the level of simulation is reduced and the game becomes a bit easier.

The Challenge mode only simulates one match, but the developers chose some of the best moments in cricket history, with the first Ashes match between India and England, which took place in 1882, making the game switch to a black and white color scheme.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

GLITCHES

Bowler's speed

A bowler's speed is pathetically slow due to high release. However, if you are a bowler, or an all-rounder, your speed will improve after you have maxed out your bowling stats. You can uproot the stumps if you are a fast medium bowler or fast bowler. Medium fast bowlers can sometimes do that, but fast bowlers may sometimes uproot the stumps between 110-115km/h if you have some swing on the ball.
