I have been playing this game for about 4 hours and soon realised that this is the best rugby game ever, and it is money well spent after the money I wasted on Rugby 2004. The gameplay is awesome although the graphics could still improve a bit.
One thing they can still improve on is to get the cameras closer to the actual gameplay but it is still very impressive, well done guys. There are some awesome tackles and the passing is just brilliant, I love those bullet passes and the fact that you can offload in the tackles (something that's lacking in Rugby 2004) and the best thing is that it doesn't slow down the play.
The way the goalkicking is designed is also awesome and not that easy, I love it. The commentary is just as impressive and the guy is actually commentating on the game and not something else as in Rugby 2004. Another thing I like is that you can actually watch a game without playing yourself, very nice indeed.
It was difficult to get a grip on how the controls work but after just a few hours I got the hang of it and it works just fine. I think the guys of Sidhe got it right and have a good platform to build from. Go and get the game if you are a rugby fan of any sort you will not be dissapointed. Well done guys!
