This is the other rugby game being released this year and is from the creators of Rugby 04, 06 and 08.

Couple of key facts:

Includes exclusive Official Rugby World Cup license
Includes exclusive England rugby team license
Includes exclusive South African rugby team license

Pics can be found on forum.

Early word on which is better?

In my opinion, Rugby Challenge is still the one to get. It just depends where you're from or what you want from the game. RWC11 doesn't have any franchise mode, no player creator and you can only edit an unlicensed player's name, number, position and statistics. It does have the exclusive World Cup, England and Springboks licenses though, and also France, which isn't confirmed to be exclusive yet.

Rugby Challenge on the other hand, has all the features missing from RWC11 and club teams, which include the ITM Cup, Aviva premiership and the NZ and Aussie teams from the Super 15. It also has the licensed All Blacks and Wallabies teams and apparently the USA Eagles, with NZ stadiums which won't appear in RWC11.

Graphics wise, they both look great, but no videos of gameplay have been released yet.

Pretty sad that the companies have gone for exclusive licenses, as now we have 2 "incomplete" games, but the early previews of both games seem quite positive, so far.

If Rugby Challenge can get imported on the 360, or is available here in the States, i would like to get both. If that can't happen, I'm getting RWC2011.

Someone is getting my cash.

Looks like Rugby Challenge for me then.

It's region free so if they don't sell it in the States, you'll be able to import it.

I'll get both, but Rugby Challenge looks like the more complete game at this point.
