[QUOTE="NRL Fan, post: 427320, member: 40483"] I downloaded the demo and as expected it plays like a newer version of the previous Rugby 06/08 ***les (based on info reported to date this was expected). If you liked playing Rugby 08 you will enjoy this game. What a lot of people here and over at Sidhe's website seem to forget is that HB's rugby series has scored considerably well with previous games. While a few hundred people on these forums can bag RWC, where it matters is in the market place and most people (or the other 100,000 around the world) will buy a copy after the 26th of August. Outside of forums you'll find most people don't care about all the little details of the rocks, line-outs and such associated with Rugby.... it bogs the game down and makes people switch off. Sidhe have worked hard to deliver this in bucket loads (the detailed rucks, the line-outs and managing the breakdown) the more details, description and painful explanation turns people off. Bring all of that into a video game and you watch the audience switch off. Just look the ratings Rugby Union has on TV (poor because people want to see tries, free flowing games and heaps of big hits). It needs to have a balance. Kids through to adults won't want to spend hours trying to work out Rugby Challenge's rucks and line-outs, watching the ball hit the deck and so on........ boring!!!! They will just play to play another game. RWC seems to have a balance of fun game play, easy pick-up and doesn't bog you down with rules. [/QUOTE]
