Rugby Champions

Good gameplay makes up for abysmal graphics, but the unliscensed teams suck. good game overall though

I would probab;y not reccoment this game, because the players don't have real faces... The game has some outstanding rugby-mechanics BUT when it comes to kicking; the joypad is way too sensitive to make accurate kicks. What will give this game a boost in the right direction is if there was multiplayer.

It's cool. I recommend it. The only issue here is my skill!

The best simulation of rugby gameplay I've played in years, but it comes with some MAJOR issues. - Substitution - The substitution system is a mess. For one, if you sub a player in and then he gets injured, it will not allow you to sub them again. You can't move players you've subbed in around your lineup either. Also if you make a substitution you didn't intend to make, a remove button appears next to that substitution, but if you click the remove button, it treats it like you backed out of the substitution screen. - Offside - Sometimes calls erroneous offside penalties. If I move to tackle 10, he gets the ball off to 12, who has run some meters, putting me in what would be offside position should there be a tackle and a ruck, but instead 12 gets hit in the passage of play and drops the ball, and I'm trying to scoop up the ball, I am not offside. And if 10 then picks up the ball and I tackle him, I am not offside. Getting called offside bc you went for a loose ball after a good hard hit from a teammate only to be called offside, often giving up 3 or a lineout in your own 22, it's VERY frustrating. I really wish this exact game got a sequel. If it had these exact mechan…

The controls are quite dumb and took time to get used to but otherwise the gameplay and animations are good and fun. Passes are very good and was surprised by how smooth they were. Stepping and bumbs also feel good. Just wish players didn't throw forward passes or knocked that often.

Its so unbelievably reasonably awesome sauce
