International Cricket 2010 is a cricket simulation game developed by Trickstar Games and published by Codemasters. It serves as a follow-up to Codemasters’ earlier title Ashes Cricket 2009 and aims to deliver an authentic and enhanced cricket experience. The game was released for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 but was not made available on PC.
This installment introduces a number of gameplay improvements, including the new “Action Cam” system that allows players to experience batting and bowling from a more immersive, behind-the-player perspective. The game features official teams, including licensed England and Australia squads, along with a wide variety of tournaments and game modes. While some teams are officially licensed, others are represented with unlicensed player names and kits.
International Cricket 2010 includes enhanced AI, dynamic weather effects, and a variety of camera angles to improve the sense of realism. The control scheme is designed to accommodate both newcomers and experienced cricket gamers, offering multiple difficulty levels and assistance settings. Multiplayer is available both offline and online, allowing competitive or cooperative play.
The PlayStation 3 version offers the same core features as the Xbox 360 release, with no significant platform-exclusive content or performance differences. The game received mixed to average reviews, with praise for its accessible gameplay and innovative camera system, though it was also noted for lacking depth and polish in some areas.
