Rugby 08

It’s a game of strategy and decision-making and, probably more than anything else, teamwork. EA Sports has pulled it off nicely and made a great game that that is both serious and fun at the same time. Very highly recommended.

If you have ever been interested in Rugby, this is the game to check out for you.

Rugby 08's greatest asset is the simplicity of the controls. Rugby's a fast-moving sport, with lots of things to do, but almost every action feels intuitive.

Rugby 08 is enjoyable enough to warrant a rental by those curious about the sport, but only serious followers of the sport will find it holding their attention for longer.

The gameplay itself holds up strong throughout any mode, despite the delayed controls and sudden difficulty spike, and playing with a friend is usually good fun. In the end, though, we had hoped to see a little more in Rugby 08 that would distinguish it from 06; something concrete that goes beyond cosmetic upgrades.

Rugby 08 was never going to revolutionise the 15-man code's representation in videogaming, but it wasn't intended to. Instead it throws a sliver of new gameplay to appease fans of the series in the run up to the World Cup.

For all its easy-going accessibility, it doesn't play anything like a realistic game of rugby, so those looking for authenticity should kick this one into touch. [Sept 2007, p.106]

Rugby 08 stands as an iconic sports game that defined its era, offering an exceptional gaming experience that left a lasting impression. Released in 2007, it set the standard for rugby video games with its realistic gameplay, attention to detail, and immersive mechanics. The game's ability to capture the essence of the sport while delivering a fun and engaging gaming experience makes it a standout title. Its impact continues to resonate, and its influence on sports gaming is undeniable. Rugby 08 is not just a game, but a cherished memory for those who had the privilege of experiencing it during its prime.

This game is easily the best Rugby game there is to date. With the publishing of EA Sports this game got the financial backing it needed. This game is super fun with hard hits from tackles and tactical kicking you will find joy quickly. Cool sound track and sound design in general as the crowd gets so loud you can bearly hear the commentary, which makes for a realistic game. All round great game play and licensed teams/stadiums, what more can you ask. Rugby is a difficult sport to capture in a video game but EA and their team got it right hear. If only we can see EA publish another Rugby game in the Future. 10/10 for me. Played on PlayStation 2 and PC.

Best Rugby game of all times! Keep up, make time Robots will abide You have silently, silently made us bow Innocence into the night Fear grows without light I have always been, always been walking blind I feel the pulse It is taking me deeper In time it's going to be alright We move with the rhythm of the beat And the drummer is calling You will say c'mon tonight

the best rugby game of all time hands down its better than any current gen game as great as jonah lomu ps1 game and that game is amazing aswell hopefully they make a rugby 14
