Shipping my order of Rugby 2002 today... god I can't wait. I have previously played EA's "Great Rugby" a japanese release. It is loads of fun, and I have viewed the CPU demo for Rugby 2002. I am expecting nothing short of greatness from the boys at Entertainment Arts this time, I'm sure they'll do for rugby what Madden did for video football years ago.

The Best Game Ever!

I received my EA Rugby game yesterday. Well worth the wait. The graphics are great the play is continuous. I have been a rugger now for 10 years, I've played only 1 other rugby game (World Cup '95, Sega), and I thought it was great. No comparison here. It is a must have for every rugby house in America. It will also serve as a tool to teach rugby to those who are not familiar with it. With this game you can adjust the difficulty level of the teams so it never becomes "too easy or hard" depending on the gamer. Buy it, learn it, play it, live it. Rugby is a gentleman's sport played by Barbarians. EA does a great job! Thank you EA. Now if you can just get rugby matches on TV more often in America. Ruck On! Three Cheers for Rugby...(all you ruggers know how to finish that one).

NOT FOR AMERICAN FOOTBALL FANS

This is a very very good game. I got it a week ago, and I have been playing it since. It is easy for me to play because I am fammiliar with the sport, but if you are a American Foootball fan then this may appeal to you, but you will find it hard to get used to because you have to be fammilliar with the at first complicated rules. Also you will have to accept that these boys aren't wimps like American Football players. No pads or helmets etc. The only bad thing is that there is no season. You can only play 6 nations, tri nations and the world cup. It would be better if there where some more leagues etc.

THIS IS A REAL MAN'S SPORT

Take all the controlled mayhem of football, subtract the helmets, pads and protective wear, and you've got rugby - perhaps the roughest organized team sport in the world.THIS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK. THIS IS FOR THE TOUGH GUYS THAT CAN GO AND TACKLE A GUY WITHOUT PADS OR PROTECTION. FORGET FOOTBALL!! GO AND START THE SCRUMS AND RUCKS YOU BETTER BE READY FOR RUGBY 2002 ITS GONNA BE BIG !!

FUN!!!

This is a really fun version of the international sport of rugby. Being a second generation rugby player, I love the sport and I loved this game. It was a fun and realistic version of the popular sport which seems to be popular everywhere except here in America. This game was fun, with at least 20 international teams including dominant world-powers such as New Zealand, Austrailia, and England, and some lacking teams such as Spain, USA, and Romania, but every team is fun and realistic. It has all my favorite international teams and all of my favorite players. The game is realistic, the graphics are OK but the gameplay is fantastic. While the controller configuration takes some getting used to, playing in the rucks, scrums and line-outs is fun. So is all the running, passing, kicking, and scoring. This is one of my favorite sports games and I reccomend it to any rugby fan or anybody lookign for a good sports game.

This game is AWESOME!

I though tha RUGGBY was a really awsome once I got the hang of the controls. They are kind of screwy at first but once you get the hang of it this game is sooooo cool. It helped me learn the rules of rugby 100 times faster than if I were just to watch a game. It is definatley a really hard game with many degrees of difficulty from playing Uruguay (Easy) To Playing Australia(Almost un-beatable). If your are looking for an awsome game to buy, look no further and purchase EA's RUGBY!

RUGBY ALONG TIME COMING

Think football is hard? Think soccer is face-paced? Think hockey is physical? Think again! See if you are good enough to hit the field for a rugby match in Rugby 2002 from Electronic Arts. Only tough players need apply [....]

GREAT

This is a great game because it is the only rugby game on the U.S PS2. A great game also because it isn't football, no helments or pads (no comment).

THIS is a sport

I got turned on to Rugby this past summer when I spent some time in Australia. I watched it on TV everyday and I can tell you, this is a man's sport were dealing with. Rugby 2002 should be one of the best PS2 games out yet. It's time we bring rugby into our culture, America. Go add this game to your shopping cart and buy it right now!
