RUGBY AT ITS FINEST!

User Rating: 8.7 | Rugby 2005 XBOX
I dont watch much rugby, but i found this game alot of fun. I got the game at the same time as Madden 2004 (which is dam right garbage by the way) and ive played this alot more.

The graphics ar great, they look realistic and the pitches look awesome. The sound is also good, though the commentary is a little tedious after a while, but not so bad you play the game in mute.

The game handles pretty wel, the controls are ok, some buttons are a little weird, such as the left trigger being change player and tackle your opponent, the tackeling thing isnt bad, but im used to A being the change player button. The passing system works very well. the kicking system is very simple, but not always easy.

There is only a few flaws to this game what i can think of. The first is that you must complete training before you can play the actual game, and some training exercises are a bit unclear in what to do, for example the kicking exercise, i didnt fully understand what i was supposed to do, and to this day i stil dont know what i did to pass it. Another flaw is that almost evrything needs to be unlocked, i tried to create a character but gave up after i couldnt change his face due to everything needed to be unlocked.

Generally this is a very impressive and fun game, and any rugby fan will love it. Hell, im not a rugby fan and i enjy this game. Its a deffinite buy for fans, and a worth playing for sport fans.
