Yes, ive finally played it its...... fantastic
the graphics are simply supberb, the stadiums are terrific. Sure its no FIFA but its very passable. The only faults with the graphics is the apalling 2-D crowd, but they will rectify that in the next version.
The commentary is the best i have ever heard in a sports game, even better than FIFA in my view. Steve clark really adds atmosphere to the game and the grunts coming from the players sound really convincing. Congrats on the sound mario!
The game play is not bad watsoever, sure its fiddly and frustrating first time round
but a couple of games in and you will be hooked. The only fault with the game play i can find is that passes tend to be a bit floaty and sometimes the player movement response is a bit slow. But otherwise fine. Next time Mario please incluse a video referee!
The lifespan of this game cannot be faulted with so many videos and other cometitions to unlock it will certainly last a long time.
The only bad thing i can fault is Andrew Voss calls my team Hull F.C the sharks, what gives we had that name four years ago! But anyway keep up with the wit vossy!
Verdict
Graphics 8/10
Sound 10/10
Gameplay 8/10
Lifespan 8/10
Overall 8/10 - Avery sound first effort with real potential to create a great franchise. Thanks to Mario & Sidhe, HES - for keeping me up to date and even Alternative Software - you may be a bit slow delivering it but you guys are all right!
Congratulations Sidhe you have done us Rugby League fans proud have a pint on me!!!
