Before the review, a plea: if you like rugby, like videogames, and are lucky enough to have the money, please buy this game. Why? Because rugby games will *only* get better if the companies that publish them make money, and therefore will afford to invest more money in making them. Why are FIFA games so good these days? Because EA can afford to perfect and polish with a new big-budget release every year, knowing that they'll get their money back.Anyway, on with the review....This game is nowhere near as bad as some people here are making out. Previous rugby games have been pretty much unplayable due to failure in two areasi) tackling - it quite impossible to individually control a defensive line consisting of several players,and so it was all too easy for the opposition to make line breaksii) the breakdown - the most important aspect of rugby is very difficult to get right. The old Rugby Challenge on the PS2 didn't do badly (better than EA 06 and 08), but it was still lacking.In my opinion Rugby World Cup 2011 makes great inroads into these areas. There is an AI defensive line that works well, making tackles where it should, skipping them when it shouldn't. The trick is to trust it, and not assume control of individual players mid line and have them flying off on a dive tackle (it just creates a hole). Leave one guy back as a 'sweeper' which you control manually, and you have a pretty good defense.But the most convincing area of this game is the breakdown. There is a very logical 'effort/risk meter', which is always shown for both teams. See an exclamation mark for your opponent and that's your cue to pile in. If not, don't bother and keep men out for the line. If you pile people in needlessly don't come crying when the opposition has a 3-man overlap. And if you run into space with no support you will get turned over, or pinged for holding on. It's all done realistically, and most importantly *consistently*.Once you understand these rules, the game plays like a charm, although the lack of tactical depth means that it will probably grow stale pretty quickly. So:Pros:Breakdown Control is excellentDefensive line is goodConsistent AINice presentation and most official teams (not that that is very important for me)Cons:Mediocre graphics, but nothing unplayableLack of tactical depthLack of replayability, once you're bored of the World Cup.Here's hoping that EA are planning to do what they do with the footie and bring out a more comprehensive game (Rugby 12) the year after the cup. If any of the devs read this - thanks and keep going!

It is the best rugby game I ever played.The menue music is nice and you will get a world cup atmosphere.It is easy to understand the menue options, the handling and the gameplay. Much more better than FIFA!Nice moves and different trys.As beginner you can directly play with beginner moves and as advantage you can try extended moves.The stadium are also nice to see.Only the animation graphics and the players could be better, because of this 505 loose a star for world rugby cup.UPDATE:The online gameplay was verry poor.But with the fix on 2011/08/31 now it works good.

The game was a very good game to play but was very similar to the previous rugby 08. There were many good features and i enjoyed the rucking guage that give ls the game a little bit more realism. One problem was the lack of any club teams and also the kits only work online and in the world cup modes.Overall the game is very good even with its small draw backs. One thing that i was not impressed with was that the producers had made the game over 4 years it had only realy improved by 2 years, WHAT WERE THEY DOING!

I bought this game for my nephews 11th birthday as he is rugby mad. I'd read some dubious reports about how good this game was so I wasn't sure if he would like it. I shouldn't have worried - he loves it. Like everything it is down to the person that is playing it and the age of them. On that basis I would recommend it.I couldn't believe how fast the game was delivered - very impressed.

Purchased this game for my seven year old rugby mad son, was a little apprehensive regarding some of the negative reviews about the game play, but he loves it and has played it over and over again. The different difficulty settings has made it easy for him to learn and feel confident in attempting more complex play. well worth the money spent

I bought this game for my new ps3 console because I like playing rugby in real life. This games graphics are brilliant and it has all the features of a real rugby match. I was really pleased when I bought this, it's thumbs up from me.

This game should not receive all the bad reviews it has. Its actually not that bad, graphs are OKAY, probably similar to FIFA 09 and gameplay is pretty good and over all this game is a lot of fun!!

Great game, easy to handle. Some of the facial graphics need the same treatment done by EA sports however. Also shame that the All-Blacks are not here. That is a draw back

Bought this for my son and he was so happy. Although he is 'call of duty' mad he has played this and is a massive rugby fan, so this went down well with him.
