This game will only and I repeat ONLY feature 20 teams in the rugby world cup. No club teams what so ever. Sure it will be fun to play but after about a couple of weeks it will just get boring, simply because you are only playing the world cup.
No Franchise mode and no create-a-player or create-a-team mode. Seeing as The All Blacks and Wallabies will NOT feature in this game, your gunna be stuck with players that dont look like the REAL players.
I loved rugby 08 but the thing that made it replayable was all the different game modes, Super Rugby, English Premiership etc. And most of all World League. None of these will feature in this game.
If you're a rugby fan and want to play as your favourite teams, I recommend you buy Rugby Challenge, made by a NZ developer called Sidhe. Http://rugbychallengegame.com/ Rugby Challenge features 95 teams from around the world and most of all Franchise mode with multiple seasons.
I would recommend only to hire this game whereas Rugby Challange would be a keeper.
AND THATS THE TRUTH
