Brian Lara Cricket and Jonah Lomu Rugby - PlayStation

Brian Lara Cricket is a superbly realised game which can be played from almost any view you can think of. Narrow your gaze and it could really be TV coverage. There's a full 3D environment, motion captured animation, various tournaments with the option of customisation. There's even a facility to play classic matches from cricket history. The atmosphere of a thrilling game is enhanced with realistic sound effects, crowd noise, and commentary from Geoff Boycott and Jonathan Agnew.

Jonah Lomu Rugby is a comprehensive liite thing: plenty of gameplay options are available from the outset, including Tournament, World Cup Challenge, Classic Match and Friendly. There are thirty international teams on offer, with the likes of Australia, New Zealand and France to tempt the player, and all matches are played out to the reassuring tones of Bill McLaren and Bill Beaumont. more
