Video Game Reviews of Rugby 06
Customer Review: Great game of rugby
Summary: 4 Stars
This game rocks! As a rugby player, I can attest that this game is so much better than Rugby '05. Passing out of a tackle is a great addition as well as the ability to take a quick penalty. The gameplay is close to the real deal, my biggest gripe is switching defenders. Sometimes it switches to the guy who's not in the best position to tackle, and you'll go running off the screen in the wrong direction while the runner scores a try. That can be frustrating as the AI of your defenders kind of sucks and you really need to be the one to make most of the tackles.
EA really improved many of their games for 06. I'm still playing FIFA 06 to this day and imagine I'll be playing this game for years to come.
