This is undoubtedly the best rugby game made to date, looks wise and possibly realism and it plays really well, forward play looks well, back play is good altho there is one noteable flaw from what i have seen so far, the backs start from a standing still position not very realistic but it doesnt affect the game play. Which is good rolling mauls, flowing back play side steps, shoulder charging (is funny watching a second row ploughing through a small scrum half!) line outs altho throwing to the back of the line is a nitemare!!! you can pick and drive, wheel the scrum No 8 pick which especially pleased me to see.In the past rugby games have been difficult to master the Controls for 2005 ain't too bad to master EA have included thorough training tutorials for you try and practice with,

This game is a superbly made rugby experience. All the set plays are realisticly designed (rucks, mauls etc..) However my only qualm with this game would be the back play. Sometimes your scrum half passes to nobody or simply does a little pop pass and there is nobody to receive it. Another problem is dummying. The AI appears to be able to do much more convincing dummies than the player can as well as the AI being able to perform very realistic inside balls. However the side stepping is brilliant aswell as the hand offs, the controls for these are quite tricky to master in a game situation but make sense and work well. All in all tho this game surpassed my expectations and is a very enjoyable experience.

EA Sports Rugby 2004 was a huge disappointment for me, so I was immensly looking forward to seeing what this would be like, especially with it being released on XBox for the 1st time.The noticeable difference is the impressive graphics engine. The players now actually look like their real life counterparts and the teams all have the correct kits.The playability is good and the game is very addictive.The AI is a bit dodgy as the CPU rarely gives away penalties, but this is an annoyance more than a real problem.One or two slight flaws aside, this is a worthwhile purchase for all rugby fans. If you are not a rugby fan then I would recommend you rent it first to avoid being disappointed.

As far as rugby titles go we have been let down ever since the day of Jonah Lomu Rugby on the PS1. Rugby 2005 is by far the best rugby game yet.Ea have finally got the balance i think. In this version you have playabilty and a depth to the competitions etc. In the previous 2 titles one or the other was missing!The only problems with the game are the penalties and the repetitivness. The comp does not give away many penalties-most of the time they are by accident and the game can get repetitive if you havent got the hang of the sidesteps etc.On the plus side the gameplay is great and the "master league" section is very good and well addictive!

Where to begin, well first off must by for u loyal rugby fans, my love for rugby has decreased recently(being an england and bath fan!!) and this is just what i needed, superb, not flawless but a great game either way!!! Good to see club sides given the opportunity at last and also finally a rugby game beats jonah lomu which last appeared on the ps one!!!!! challenges fifa in the multiplayer mode, great laugh with four players!!!! support the cause and buy this game

Its no the completed article. Buy definatly a step in the right direction. Sometimes a bit frustrating. And the game does take a while to get used to. However I would definatly recommend it.
