[QUOTE="loratadine, post: 42869"] JLR: graphics 4/10 - ps1 - looking back was shocking - but i didnt really notice at time gameplay 8/10 - great gameplay with stacks of offloads - quick taps and lineouts and a good rucking system - jlr was ahead of its time. lastability 7/10 - although only national teams - the vast array of modes make tha game vastly playable to the early hours of the morn and then some. features 7/10 - classic matches offer gamers a good dose of memory lane and theres more than enough modes and teams and of course unlockables to keep you interested. overall 6/10 - without doubt a classic of its time - it sent the benchmark for other rugby games but unfortunately none have been able to follow - although romantics do embellish this game slightly and in my opinion offers little now 8 years on. total = 32/50 EA Rugby (2001): graphics 4/10 - absolutely shocking - but most games were shocking in 2001 as producers were yet to use the full capabilities of the ps2 gameplay 4/10 fun - but thats it - the running is one dimensional - the rucking system is the worst ever used, the lineouts are shocking - the only plus was the kicking. lastability 4/10 - this game does have a little amount of lastability but not much - they have this stuped percentage thingy - which results in people winning the wc with namibia without too much strugle. features 4/10 not good at all - just the run of the mill competitions - its amazing that 4 yrs after jlr rugby games hadnt moved forwards but backwards overall 4/10 - this game with the players sprinting like a marathon runner without tyring and the defence following that one player like hes a sheperd herding sheep - just awful! total = 20/50 EA Rugby 2004: graphics 5/10 the graphics were mediocre at best but not as attrocious as some other believe - it was not worse than jlr. gameplay 5/10 - the ball physice let this down and generally the clunsy controls - on a plus though they did bring the idea of set piece moves from the scrum and line outs. and made it at least workable. lastability 5/10 - im sure alot of people played this for more than they let on - although it wasnt the best game it still had alot of potential and the signs were there for a future of bright rugby games - they had more options and competitions and teams than any other rugby game. features 5/10 they did have a fair few rugby competitions - but ultimately they were sluggish. overall 4/10 - not as bad as people made out - defo the worse game of the last few years but not as bad as r01 - NO WAY total = 24/50 NRL Rugby League: graphics 5/10 - i found the graphice a little too artificial gameplay 3/10 - i really wasnt fussed on the gameplay - its too riged. lastability 6/10 - theres enough options here to keep even non rugby league fans amused for a at least a few nights. features 7/10 - stacks of options as said above - and all fully licensed overall 6/10 - a descent effort total = 28/50 World Championship Rugby: graphics 7/10 - this game was meant to be arcadey and i loved the tonney graphics - great! gameplay 6/10 - alot good with this - passing - kicking etc - but the forwards and button bashing let this down lastability 7/10 - i was hooked on this game for weeks - full of great customizable leagues and cups - and of course swordfishes trademark unlockables. features 7/10 - features were alot better than rugby 04 - and they fully customizable as well overall 7/10 - great effort and really fun - especailly on multi - player total = 34/50 EA Rugby 2005: graphics 7.5/10 the best graphics for rugby game gameplay 7.5/10 the game was quite good both attacking and defending - but the standing first reciever and no offloads cost it. lastability 6.5/10 alot of tournaments but lack of flexibility made this game quickly wear out features 6/10 - nice effort with wl - but its still crap - there no felxibility here overall 7.5/10 felt the most real rugby game to date. total = 35/50 NRL Rugby League 2 graphics 8/10 graphics were good gameplay 2/10 absolutely crap - the control on the player when running is **** - as is defending. lastability 6/10 online mode! features 6/10 loads of feature to keep most people happy - although if you dig deep enough the feature are loaded with cracks overall 6/10 - not the best game by a long shot total = 30/50 [/QUOTE]
