Rugby 15 Review

[Steve_OS]

Rugby often gets summarized with this old chestnut: it's a savage game played by gentlemen. Well, Rugby 15 is a savage game … that should only be played by savages. It pains me to say it, but HB Studios, who showed us so much with The Golf Club, has committed a major infraction with this release — a $50 rugby simulation that's about as barebones as you can get. It's clear that some effort went into securing team and player licensing for this game, but the features, presentation and gameplay of this product are alarmingly subpar.

3.5 May actually be a bit generous. This is a truly awful game.

Sorely disappointing.

I think I also saw this title on Steam. But thank you for the review. I was waiting for a review from a trusted source. I will be saving my time and money on this one. Thanks.

What in the world does MVP have to do with this?

EA has nothing to do with this project.

Way to generous...this deserves nothing more than a 1

The game is not broken, so it's not going to receive a 1 on that basis. Still, a 3.5 is quite a low score, and I felt that appropriate given the lack of quality across the product. The few positives came from the quick load times, custom cups and gameplay that at least works, even though it's heavily flawed in its choice of systems.

HOW DO YOU CREATE A RUGBY GAME WITHOUT SUPER RUGBY. HOW DO YOU LEAVE OUT THE 3 BEST TEAMS IN THE WORLD, ALL BLACKS, SPRINGBOKS AND WALLABIES. EVEN WHEN EA DID RUGBY YOU GOT THE BEST TEAMS WHERE IS JONA LOMU RUGBY AT?

I love rugby, my favourite sport. This is such an amateur attempt, I wish a larger studio would take on the project, because I think a quality game would bring a lot of new fans to a great game.

Agreed, my favorite sport as well.

Also agree that this is amateur at best, horrible game. I really wished for it to be a solid title but it's not sadly.

Hmm. Looked at the screen shots and thought it was PS3, that probably tells me all I need to know.

Sounds like a good bargain bin $5 pick-up, if that. Of course if it's absolutely horrible and no one buys it, it will likely never be $5. Funny how some niche games never become bargain titles but actually hold value or go up because people will figure supply and demand principles says we can charge $70 on eBay or Amazon since there are only like 1,000 copies of this (x) year old game anywhere.

Re: Rugby 15 Review

why can't they make a sevens game, the rucking is easier, the scrumming is easier... it's a lot less game to code
