cricket 2004 is a HUGE and i mean HUGE improvement on cricket 2002, the graphics (on high end pc) are exceptionally better, it feels much more 3d, and with the first person batting view u feel like ur really in the game. the gameplay is greatly improved, no more can u consistantly bowl yorkers to get wickets and no more will the wicket keeper stand there beside a ball and wait 30mins for a fielder to come and get it

.
the animations are hugely improved, everything looks much more smoother and realistic than 2002 and for once all the team kits are up to date. as for the features, theres now 75 stadiums (although ive only seen 61, the rest must be unlockable) and best of all u can play the ING & PURA cups and the english county championships without the need of a patch as there is some 69 teams in the game, even australia a & county xi teams

! anyway its a great game and a great improvement in the series, the AI is beautiful, they will adjust their run chase and run setting performances to suit the situation. and the game isnt too easy like 2002, u cant just walk out and smash 20runs an over anymore (unless u playing on easy...), the scores come out very realistic and overall i reckon its a 400000000% improvement on cricket 2002 which we would all agree fell way below the mark.
