[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 42840"] Nice reviews chiro, you're fair with every game. For me it'd be like this: [u][b]JLR:[/b][/u] graphics 4/10 (even for it's time it looked ordinary at best) gameplay 6/10 (it was fun, but very unrealistic and no where near as good as people make out) lastability 6/10 (only international teams damages it here) features 6/10 (I like the classic matches, but theres no much else here...) overall 5.5/10 (fun, but wasn't really as good as romantics had made out) P.S I played this for the first time in 2003 [u][b]EA Rugby (2001):[/b][/u] graphics 6/10 (pretty poor for PS2) gameplay 7/10 (very solid engine that looked to set a great base for future games) lastability 6/10 (I personally played this to death, most likely because it was the first rugby game I had played since ET's Rugby League ) features 6/10 (nothing much really, in fact less than JLR) overall 7/10 (solid game, not brilliant, but it thrilled me no end when I first played it). [u][b]EA Rugby 2004:[/b][/u] graphics 2/10 (it made JLR's graphics look good FFS!) gameplay 2/10 (Gameplay? in Rugby 2004??) lastability 1/10 features 4/10 (it had S12 etc, but they were so badly put togeather it's not worth mentioning) overall 2/10 (a thoroughly traumatising experience) [u][b]NRL Rugby League:[/b][/u] graphics 7/10 (only because of the stadiums) gameplay 7/10 (despite it's flaws I really enjoyed the gameplay in this game) lastability 7/10 (wealth of features and competitions, the PC version esp kept me going for ages) features 7/10 (All official teams and competitions, all you could ask for for a first RL effort) overall 7/10 (great start for sidhe) [u][b]World Championship Rugby:[/b][/u] graphics 6/10 (pretty ordinary for XBOX and PS2 really, far too tooney) gameplay 6/10 (passing was superb, kicking was superb, player responsiveness was superb (if not a little too smooth), but is heavily let down but lottery line outs, button basher scrums, forwards that run at 2km an hour and the big hit button). lastability 6.5/10 (keeps you going for a while with its challenges, but after that it sits in the cupbourd) features 7/10 (classic matches and all star mode were good, but there's not an awful lot here) overall 6.5/10 (looked to be good at first, but the more you played it, the worse it got) [u][b]EA Rugby 2005:[/b][/u] graphics 7.5/10 (players looked great, but stadia were still crap) gameplay 6.5/10 (fun, but let down by laziness and omissions such as offloads) lastability 6.5/10 (Once I won the world cup and S12 I didn't play this much) features 6.5/10 (would have got more if it weren't for its **** poor world league and ridiculous Lions tour that didn't let you play as the host nation) overall 6.5/10 (fun, but still felt like a game released before actually being completed) [u][b]NRL Rugby League 2[/b][/u] graphics 8/10 (player likenesses and stadia are all very well done, would get a 9 if they fixed the step animation) gameplay 7.5/10 (lots of new innovations that really make the game a great sequel to RL1, but camera angles, player responsiveness and lack of more in game tactics let it down) lastability 8/10 (Franchise and online mode will keep me playing this till RL3) features 8.5/10 (best features of any other rugby game to date) overall 8/10 (I agree it's got issues, but I personally think this is the best rugby game currently out) [/QUOTE]
