[QUOTE="Mr. Laxative, post: 45242"] I have decided to take snippets of the review post them here and talk about my feelings, you can put your's here as well. [i]Even after a casual glance at the screenshots, it's clear that this is no token upgrade. WETA Digital were brought on board to create the likenesses of around 500 NRL players and referees[/i] Concerning, considering there weren't any referees in the finished version - must be why David Peachey is white skinned, with medium length brown-hair and blue eyes. [i]This doesn't extend to the English Super League, but frankly who cares? It's not as if you were really going to bother anyway.[/i] Um, strike three! I did bother, and what about those poor people in Europe? No likenesses! [i]The animations are also far more authentic this time around. Key moments like kick-offs and conversions have been meticulously motion-captured to give the game a shot of authenticity and you can expect the same bone-crunching tackles, deft sidesteps and crowd pleasing tries you see every weekend[/i] Okay? Don't the kickers always look like they are about to slip over to you? Crowd pleasing tries? What the!? [i]Rugby League 2 benefits from far better controls. Not only deeper but far more intuitive. By simply pressing forward you can affectively scoot from dummy-half.[/i] Affectivley? Yeah right... it is just an animation - you have no control! [i]The AI has been much improved in Rugby League 2 and even individual players react more realistically to on-field situations - computer controlled teammates will go for intercepts, make tackles and if a kick is bouncing dangerously close to touch they'll hestitate to pick it up (before they'd just pick it up and run out).[/i] Excuse me?
