Recently at an event which was held in Sydney, Australia on February 06 2015 and in Mumbai, India on February 07 2015, Disney India Interactive launched official game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 for PC's, Smartphones and DTH platforms. The game is titled 'ICC Pro Cricket 2015' and is an offering from Indiagames, which is one of the key brands in Disney India Interactive. The Mumbai launch event was held at Disney India's Office, where the media persons & few bloggers were invited for the first look and gameplay of ICC Pro Cricket 2015. Being one of the first people to play this game, today I'll be sharing my experience with it and also talk some more the game.
ICC Pro Cricket 2015 Gameplay
When for the first time I came to know about this game, I expected it to be like all other cricket games with same features, camera angles etc. but when I experienced it personally, I found that though this is a Cricket game, there were many major improvements in this game as compared to the other ones in the market. The game seemed smooth and light weighted, the computer was not struggling to keep the game going. Also the Batting camera angles were much better than other Cricket games, Most of the cricket games features Batting camera angle from Bowlers view or I would say Television view, there is nothing wrong with this view but somewhere I think this view doesn't bring the feeling of actually playing the game, it looks more like watching the game. ICC Pro Cricket 2015 also features a camera view taken from Wicketkeepers perspective, along with the regular Bowlers view. This view takes your closer to the Batsman and you can actually see the Bowler running towards you and delivering his bowl, this camera angle takes the player to the actual field view and brings the feeling of actually playing the game. Honestly, I enjoyed playing the game from the new camera angle and this little thing was one of the things which impressed me.

Things I didn't like About ICC Pro Cricket 2015
Before I start with the cons of the game, let me tell you that this was one of the best and easiest to play Cricket games, I've ever played. So let's begin with Cons now.
- No Multiplayer Mode
- No Internet connectivity / No Multiple Platform Syncing
- Cricket Legends like 'Sachin Tendulkar' not included in the game.
- Less Number of Stadiums to choose from.
- No Playstation / Xbox version
That's it I guess, I just tested the game for like half an hour, so for now, the above list of cons is what I did manage to find. I might do a full review on the game once I get my hands on it.
