Rugby 08 reviews

warning!!! follow-up review – if one player – game is a 9 out of 10. If multi-player however, unbelievably, if you try and control ot become the support player and position yourself, the ball is always knoecked on or bounces off you etc etc – ruins any co-op play totally – UNBELIEVABLE.

2 steps forward for single player, but two steps back for co-op…

have not had a one on one yet – but wld also be great as no issue with controlling more than one person. This bug is a HUGE let down and will be more thoroughly brought to light in time…

not good enough, especially when game is really good (as is really just a PES equivalent tweak of last gme)… no late tackles or early allowed so no more hammering people without ball instead of defending properly, better camera views etc etc… but, somehow, they removed an ability that was inherent and required from the first – support play and the freedom of movement…

STUPID EA...... STUPID.

Rugby 2008 definitely a big let down. Here I am, I get the game on the release date from GamePlanet (great service again) thinking this is going to be mean and boy was I wrong.

Lets just say don’t buy it if you own rugby 2006 not much difference at all very very very poor from ea.

Its like they have put no effort in to it at all. For example Like the new rugby challenge function you go to play in the 95 world cup and you haven’t even got the 95 world cup squad to play with you have to use todays all black team.

So basically they have made a couple of changes in the rucks mauls and lineout. Other then that basically every thing else is the same except you get penalised a lot more for doing foul play and player updates. Even the player stats are still poor Nick Evans is still slow its just a poor game don’t buy it unless your a rugby freak and want a couple of updates.

Great game to play , fun and easy for the whole family to enjoy

I suppose this game isn't too bad apart from a few bad things. For example, in the 2006 version the gameplay was more accurate around advantages. The player ratings aren't really realistic, the likes of Nick Evans run like props in the game. Then they've been unable to get every team and stadium fully licenced, which is strange considering that EA has had dominance with licencing rights over all their sports games.

Despite all this, it's still a fun game to play, so I'll give it three stars.

this is an awsme rugby game i have never been into rugby but this rugby game blew my socks off. the graphics and gameplay r awsme. the fact they inclued world cup challanges r amazing it is a MUST BUY!!!!!!!
