Basically a patch which fixes the Rugby 06 bugs and adds new jerseys

To start this out i'm a huge rugby fan. I've played it since i was a kid and watch it at every chance. Rugby is a complex game and EA Sports has done a pretty decent effort simplifying it down to a playable state. Which is fun and easy to pick up and play, but lacks any tactical and technical depth. Look at any other 08 game coming out from EA Sports and you'll see the quality they have, with the brancing animations, where this game is still stuck 5 year behind the other franchises.

The game is Rugby 06 with new jerseys, an official world cup mode, patches to fix all the glitches and exploits from Rugby 06 and a few new camera angles that makes the game slightly easier to play.

In my opinion it's not worth what they're asking, this should have been a free patch/upgrade from last years. Not enough new content. Also they still mispell many players names!

Stick with rugby 06 and wait for rugby 2010, maybe by then they would have worked out how to make a decent game.

Go the Wallabies!

    Gameplay is good but the game itself is rushed.

    As a big fan of rugby I was pleased when a newer version of the rugby game came out. Each one so far has been a decent improvement on the last so I had fairly decent expectations for this. However for this game I was mor... Read Full Review
