SIDHE first attempt at a Rugby League game in this reviewer's opinion was abover average. It was what I expected with a few hiccups but again First Attempts are never perfect. It takes about the 2nd or 3rd to be near perfect. I am very proud of the SIDHE team and Tru Blue for what they have created for all of us Rugby League fans, only League fans will enjoy the aspects of this game as they play through a match and the components are all there for us to handle adequently.
Graphics: Well for a first attempt, I'd say they were alright, not perfect and not bad. The graphics are alot better then past Rugby League games and in my opinion Rugby 2004. Sure not every player looks spot on but if you look closely alot of players in this game look pretty good.
7/10
*Just a pointer for Mario and SIDHE if you would consider this idea. Well THQ who makes the WWE wrestling games, get superstars in a room and photograph them and use a scanning type device to produce their image into the game. You guys could do the same thing if you wanted to and push the graphics of both XBOX and PS2 to their limits.
Gameplay: In my opinion the gameplay is fantastic and it feels just like Rugby League. The only 2 down points in gameplay from my view is the passing of the ball and the computer A.I. Both need some work in the 2nd game. But everything else is great, I love the kicking system and also movement and fluidness of play, it feels right. I also like the difficulty settings, I think Seasoned and Legend are very challenging and I like a challenging game.
8/10
Sound: What can I say other then "THE BEST COMMENTARY EVER" in a sports game that is. I love it, Vossy and SIDHE your champions. The commentary is rarely repetative unlike major sports title's like FIFA and MADDEN as well as Rugby Union for PS2. It is fluid and it actually follows the play. The sound of the crowd is good, could be a little bit more better with some crowd chants and louder cheers and boo's but other then that the sound in Rugby League is awesome.
9/10
Lasting Appeal: If your a big Rugby League fan then go out and buy this game as it will deffinately have a lasting affect on you. If your a halfway fan or not a fan at all then I suggest don't buy it due to the fact if your not interested in the sport why buy the game of it. However Rugby League is a fans game, a great first attempt and very enjoyable. The controls are easy to master and pickup after a little while, the games are intense and it is challenging once you get up into the higher difficulties. A dream come true you might say and in this reporter's opinion Rugby League is a must have for every Rugby League Fan and it will last a very long while, well until the next Rugby League game.
