Brian Lara 2007 Pressure Play - Reception

Reception

BLPP has a score of 68, "mixed or average reviews" on Metacritic. A Gamespot reviewer highlights the lack of gameplay modes causing the game to lack longevity. In the same review, the graphics are praised for having smooth and natural animations, but the closeups of the players look strange as their heads look oversized. Other critics brought attention to the AI, which they said is the same independent of the difficulty settings that the player puts the game in. Despite the mixed or average reviews, BLPP went into the game charts straight to position 1 in its first week. Also, reviewers cited long load times as there are loading times to enter a match, after the coin toss, after each over and bowling change.

The following are scores collected by Gamerankings which give the game an average ratio of 71%.

    “To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
