PlayStation 3 Game Review: Rugby Challenge

Rugby Challenge is out to take on the world’s most selling game based on sports, FIFA 2011. The game clearly shows that it is serious in taking on the FIFA game franchise by introducing very high resolution player models. The game has your occasional matrix style slow motion sequences during the game, which most likely will entertain the masses easily. As soon as you dig in the world of Rugby Challenge, you can see that developer Sidhe has given its all to produce a game that relates to the actual sport. Every game has you going through the same loading style screen that has become so popular for FIFA games. During the loading screen you can control some players running around the field, and as soon as a game starts, you will be presented by your teams anthem and starting sequences as seen in the real game. To find out more, read our review.

To start off my review, I’ll talk about the design and features of the game.

Sidhe has done a great job with the game, they did not just concentrate on the presentation of the game, and they also included tons of content which includes several teams that are not available in any other Rugby based game. The main play mode of the game is the career mode, which puts you in charge of a country or club. You can play through a total of 13 seasons with your team. This is the life blood of the game, and it successfully keeps you interested for a very long time.

Moving further down the review, as far as the gameplay goes; you won’t find anything innovative here. The gameplay mechanics resemble other rugby games that you have already played. The real deal is the amount of content available here. You are sure to get a lot more then Rugby World Cup 2011 game.

To finish off my review, I will say that if you are a huge fan of the sport, you will find a lot of content here that will satisfy your taste buds for quite a lot of time. Be sure to check out this finest Rugby game of your time.
