JaycenA.Apr 17, 20036Graphics could of been better, seem to lake the fun of Jonah Lomu rugby but the big disappointment...NO SUPER 12!!!!

ChristineC.Dec 14, 20021Rugby is a sh.t game to watch and a sh.t game to play. Here's hoping the Rugby League game next year lives up to the huge expectations, as it's a great game to watch, so should be a great game to play. Everyone in Aus, NZ, and England will buy it.

JoshB.Aug 7, 20025It is a hell game but could of done with some improve ments to make it more interesting when they bring out nrl it will sell more copies than rugby cause they won't lak in things what is that fool M.P saying about afl AFL is for pussy shirt pullers. I hope rugby 2003 is better and improve so people can enjoy rugby atr it's best.

DanielW.Dec 4, 20027A good game to play, but as all EA Sports games, lacks stats and options. It is obvious that EA concentrate too much on the graphics and realism of the game instead of simple thigs such as a league generator, player rankings etc. All EA Sports games do lack a good online option, limiting its multiplayer potential.

M.P.Jul 15, 20028Good Game but needs super 12 as well. NRL would make a sh*t game. All they do is run then stop, then run then stop again. Only two states in Australia would buy it, possibly some Victorians. Bring on AFL!!! (go the Eagles)

AndrewH.Nov 3, 20019This game is brilliant for any rugby fan. It has it all - the excitement and the reality of the major game. Just play it to find out how good it is!!

SimonH.Aug 7, 20027As a rugby player I found the game a real buzz. Could do with a few more EA add ons such as player create etc.. Overall worth a play.

JoeJ.Feb 11, 20033Its just crab, this game is so suck and its just suck so much that I wonder why would it come out!

[Anonymous]May 15, 20027I'm rating plain old rugby its an ok game but it needs more tournaments like the shute shield super12 hongkongsevens and the aussies vs lions. The only tournamunts its got is worldcup tri nations and v1nations make rugby 2003 with all the things i asked.

JasonC.Mar 5, 20029I am a big Fan of Rugby. From Jono Rugby, on PS1. I went and bought a PS2 to play Rugby 2002. This game needs to be practiced and played by two players, to really enjoy the most out of it. The detail and play ability is excellent, and I would recommend this game to any person loving a good contest between two People.

BmozzFeb 23, 20039WICKED. Only lacking sevens and super 12. Hope to see a good EA World Cup 03 game. NRL is sh&t it is only played in Oz no other country takes it serious. Rugby Union is a true international sport.

-
DaveP.Jul 14, 20025This game is good but it lacks compitition once you win the world cup, tri-nations etc thats it. It needs more like statistic keeping etc top try scorer, create player & team mode, super 12, sevens and special teams eg. Lions, Babarians. Otherwise make an NRL game.(National Rugby League) Proberbly everyone in NZ & OZ will buy it.

JustinMar 9, 200210Rugby is a lot better than Football, less stoppage of play and no wimpy pads to protect girly-boys who complain about their salaries.

EddB.Jan 23, 200210Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

HarryK.Jan 15, 200210It is hella cool...australia r the best.

EllieS.Apr 2, 20028It's ok.

TyMar 14, 20027Great game but it's not competitive enough once you mastered beating the Aussies and England. It needs more tournaments too. It lacks the Super 12 and the UK leagues. Its still fun to play but it could use some improvement. Now lets hope for Rugby League 2003. Cheers

-
EmilevanZ.Aug 12, 20023Its a cool game but it would be alot better if it had the super 12 and other leagues because you can play many more teams than international.

Michael"Mongo"LloydJan 28, 200210The only draw back is my wife won't let me wear my boots in the house.

JamesH.Jan 24, 20028Great for any rugby fan, league or union. NEEDS MORE COMPETIONS & SPECIAL MATCHES eg Lions, barbarianas, super 12. But still one great game!!
-
-
BarryM.Jan 3, 20025Needs more competions eg. Lions, world 15 and club. Good game play.

DougieB.Feb 25, 20048I think that it is a very exciting game and i can't wait till the next 1 comes out.

L.G.Oct 25, 20036Not great, but, unfortunate as it may be, WAY better than Rugby 2004. Still a fun game to play for awhile, its moron AI and lack of modes will have you looking elsewhere pretty quickly, however. Not that there is elsewhere to look, given that Rugby 2004 is such a horribly disappointing release.

Once youve mastered the somewhat quirky camera zooms and the rules of the sport, EAs Rugby becomes an enjoyable experience. [Sept 2001, p.145]

The game play is very solid. The game is very fluid as you make a string of passes to the left and right to get over the try line for a "try". The kicking game is also very well done...If you are not knowledgeable about Rugby, do not buy this game!!!

73The strategy gets quite deep, and the team play is totally engaging once you get the hand of it.
