    Everything about this game screams "minimal effort".

    This is a rugby relic from a bygone age. [Oct 2011, p.116]

    Unfortunately Rugby World Cup 2011 is not worth the money it costs – not even for a rugbyplayer or -fan.

    Not the worst sports game ever made, and capable of producing some enjoyment in multiplayer mode. But it won't last, will get annoying, and you will get very bored. [Issue#209, p.94]

    just played the demo...Yeah the price is a little bit akward (49.99)... But this game is FUN! Im not an expert about rugby, but all i know is that it did not take long before i was able to understand how to play the game. Everybody can learn in like 5 min! I dont know why critics are comparing it with games like madden or fifa... Its really not the same budget and how many decent games of rugby have you played in your life? Me, thats sure is the first decent one. Im not going to bash it... it's absolutely not the sports game of the year but it deserve to give it a chance and Im sure that like me, you'll have a lot of fin with it

    very fun game but it gets boring real quick. :( There are lots of visual glitches were you might get tackled through a ruck also if you kick off there is a about a 1 in 3 chance that your player will automatically tap tackle the other teams catcher in mid air and give away a penalty which is really frustrating because you cant do anything about it. Its very fun to run the pitch with the ball and sidestep everyone and if you hand off people you faceplant them into the ground which is fun. Overall not bad game and with minor fixes could get a 9/10 :)… Expand

    Wow, where to start with the flaws or bugs in this game?
    This is nothing more than the previous version, with updated names and logos, and wa    y more flaws in the gameplay.
    Here are some examples: 1. It is basically impossible to defend the attacking cross-kick when you are defending in your 22. All the top teams use it and will score nine times out of ten as by the time you get a chance to switch to control your wing, it is too late. 2. If you are viewing from behind (not the side) it is impossible to see what is going on when you are defending. The camera does not â    … Expand
