Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 (360, PS3)

After a couple of matches with the demo, I think it's pretty clear that Rugby Challenge is going to own this game.

Rugby World Cup just isn't in the same league.

To be fair, though, it doesn't help that the demo's stuck on easy difficulty and the only camera mode is the lame broadcast view.

Finally was able to download the demo and play a couple of games. Demo is limited and it's set to one camera angle(sideways) and one skill level(rookie). Graphics seem to be a little off and framerate might be off a bit but the game was still very fun.....definitely action packed. I know a lot of people are complaining but the last Rugby game I played was Rugby 06 and this is definitely an upgrade from that so I'm pretty happy with it. I think I'd much prefer the Rugby Challenge game over this but I'll take whatever I can get. I'm going to import at least one of them if need be.
I highly recommend downloading the demo and checking it out. PS3 demo is tomorrow.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 (360, PS3)

My thoughts on the demo:

+ Control scheme same as Rugby 06 and 08...if you played these games, you will have no problem learning the controls
+ Ruck meter shows who has possession with a check mark - easy to tell if you have the ball or not. Rucks and lineouts seem fair (able to establish momentum)
+ Smooth frame rate
+ Broadcast cam, auto zoom out when needed (I'm one of the few who only plays Broadcast cam apparently)
+ Choice of commentary team (3 different ones)


- graphics seemed a little weak for 360 but much better than Rugby 08
- will seem easy if you played Rugby 08, wish I could try harder difficulty.
- wish I could FINISH the game (only can play first half in demo)


Feel Rugby Challenge will kick a** off this game, but the demo was fun.

Demo is pretty mediocre. Gameplay is similar to '06 and '08, but I can't get a real feel for the game with it being on easy and being so short. Looks like the visuals aren't quite up to Rugby Challenge's standard, but it's still and upgrade over last gen.

Wooho! Thanks tjung for that confirmation! Gonna definitely buy that on the PSN!

Ok as for my impressions on the PS3 demo:

Feels like an HD version of Rugby 08. Now since I loved that, it's not a bad thing. However, I did expect a bit more of an upgrade. Seriously same animations?! The Rugby football physics are spot on on the plus side and the commentary sounded fantastic.

Since I am a huge Rugby fan, this is abut for me but I will also keep my eye on RC.
