Graphics and presentation were it's high points.
Anybody else feel that Rugby Challenge was somewhat of a disappointment?
I couldn't agree more. That and the fact that the general logic of the gameplay was so flawed. I mean the fact that your backline is always in the rucks and your forwards in the backline, even at first receiver position. I really thought they could've done better, considering the time they had. I certainly hope they don't make another one. Rugby 2008 is still, by far, king of rugby games for me.
haha Rugby 08 at least the Springboks was beating the All Blacks consistently in it until I switched it off.
That happened to me on Call of Duty 4. I played as a American and kept on bombing the British soldiers and not one died. Bloody unrealistic!I couldn't get Richard Bands (or similar) to score a 50m try against the ABs in Dunedin, though... so unrealistic
I've found the way to get the most challenge and fun out of Rugby 08 (after you've played a long time and know all the tricks) is to delete all the rosters and mods. Start a new World League tournament with a low ranked team on elite. Now that's fun, after a while it starts getting **** easy again when you buy good players. Fun in the start though. Oh and try to avoid using "W" (kick from ruck) to score tries, that's too easy even on elite. just kick, fly-half runs through and boom, score.
Had saracens at a stage, brent russell on fly-half, just kicked and scored each time. Got a bit boring but was fun.
