We live in The Republic of Cricketland (read as India), and yet all the cricket related strategies we can make are when Sehwag gets out playing an utterly non-sense eyes-shut shot or when Dhoni decides to give the last over of the world cup final to an underdog. And surprisingly, we are quite good at it, or at least like to believe so. Thus giving rise to a soft-spot in the market here for professional game developers as well as players. It's been tapped well in popular games like football but cricket has yet to see its day in the sun here. But dawn is coming with advent of Hitwicket, and believe you me, the cunning dudes behind this are to watch out for.
Anybody familiar with the game of Cricket would understand that it's not really a game of gentlemen, no matter how much the stone-age Englishmen would like us to believe that. It's a game of skill, patience, quick-thinking and the most important - the ability to develop a tactical long term plan, known as strategising. It's a game involving not a lazy Sunday (or any other day for that matter) but passion (as The God himself says) and perseverance 365(6) days a year. There are Sachins and Warnes in all of us and so are Kirstens and Buchanans. Well, Hitwicket is for all you amazing managers and coaches. Just like in real, you can do everything for your team here, but actually get on the field to play. You recruit, fire, sell and buy players, train them, set strategic line-ups for your matches, sell tickets for the same and earn revenue, thus there being a need to manage finances as well. And these are just the easy cherries, the real cream and crust lie within.
The game makers have been smart enough to make the game really simple for the new users and introduce new features as you gain experience points as a result of your activities and time spent in the game. And the more features you unlock, the more hooked you get. So, if you thought AOE, Dota, CS or GTA was addictive, my friend, you have some thinking to do. The finer details of the game have got all users abandoning their primary reasons to live life and have developed some zombie like symptoms towards the game. Beware, do not get bit, or else, you shall find yourself forbidding anything that overlaps your passion for the game. Yes, passion, it doesn't matter if you have it for Cricket or not you will get passionate towards this game. And it's not just me who's saying this, here's a quote from one of the users,
Wow!! What a game!!! Amazing!! Have been so much in love with this!! My GF left me, might get fired, but don't care, love this game too much to care about other silly things in life ....All in all, a
p.s. yes i am a user of this game and there are many more like me who have something to say about in testimonials.
