i like the demo a bit short yes but good
controls arent too hard to learn.

graphics look fine to me.


ye guy do realize that this game would have nothing like the budget for fifa right

yep but thats no excuse for puting out a game that is a reskin of rugby 08 with less teams and with no real improvement

I played it last night for about 5 min and deleted it. Terrible stuff. Graphics look no better than an iphone, Gameplay is too simplistic for a Rugby game. I was 14 points up against England in the match after 2 min ! Stupidly easy.
AVOID (although it might be fun 2 player)

that was always the Problem with EA rugby, the defences were useless, short pass, long pass, sprint around cover to score a try, repeat until 70 points in the lead.

Until you played New Zealand or Australia in when it was a case of suddenly being tackled into oblivion and then watching their the Comp Players sprinting down field just short of the speed of light whist offloading 4 or 5 times to score a try.

Nah it's a different game.

One of the big problems with the demo is that you can only play AI on Easy...No indication of challenge of final game. My tactic - set up ruck, select the "Miss" play and fire it out to 'A' (X for PS3 users). The player marked 'Y' (Triangle) may also have the space. Supporting runners don't help but you can just rinse and repeat...

Rugby Challenge looks much better

Rugby chalenge looks interesting, particulalry like the mechanic for kicking from hand during play because it was useless in EA and the option to use different binds at rucks means it might play like more of a contest and allow for different styles of play.

Looks like a more varied game generally where EA rugby was the same match over and over again.

Of course it could play like a total pig.

As bad as that demo is, I still find myself playing it.

Just goes to show that I would frikken LOVE a good game to come out

The demo is fecking terrible. I didn't do anything fancy, just passed,ran and scored.

norrie rugger

Yeah tis terrible.
Idiots to only allow you "Easy" opponents. No idea if the AI is smarter at higher levels or as hapless.

Graphically? Terrible but nothing that would distract me, if the gameplay were up to scratch.

Graphics dont bother me at all, some of the best lookiung games were the ****ing worst(Final fantasy 13)

But the demo is supposed to be of game play. I could be drunk and brain damaged and still beat the comp

It's boring, just running around the other team. The commentating is poor too despite the big guns. In my house we have a rule for the demo: All tries scored must be off kicks. It spices things up a little bit. Without that rule I often score 56 points in the 5 minutes.

A poor game, bring on rugby challenge.

Rugby 08+4

What have they been doing for the last 2 years?

Remind me of something from the old Lomu game....

Pass to Lomu.... ''LOMUUUUUUUUUUUU'' as you just power down the pitch

EDIT: Haven't played the game, just going by how you said it was as simple as just passing it then running.

Awful, awful demo.

Rugby 08 on the ps2 had better graphics?

Just downloading this now, no great expectations though.

Pity they only let you play a half and only choose between two teams. Should do it like the FIFA games, several different teams and a full game, as well as different difficulties. Allows you to see how different teams play.

Rugby 2008 may get a run out anocht as well:p

Gents, Rugby Challenge is where it's at. WCR doesn't even have the license for Austrailia or NZ.

Rugby Challenge is made by a rugby country - NZ.
WCR is made in Canada.

I'm not saying where it's made has anything to do with it only that I think I'd rather my game made by people surrouded by a huge rugby culture all their lives.

Is there/will there any type of manager mode?

Hopefully a proper one, not that World League thing.

Uriel.

Played the demo today quite a bit. I'm quite disappointed, as others have said so so so easy. I don't mind the graphics etc too much as it's all about the play and unfortunately it's quite lacking.

I can't put it down though, the thrill of being able to play a "modern" rugby game is amazing... I really can't wait for Rugby Challenge. I really hope that lives up to expectations
