WORLD CLASS RUGBY
=================
Audiogenic - £25.99
With the Rugby World Cup and all this seems a good time to
release this game, and it seems a bit of techno intelligence from
Audiogenic's marketing team.
Rugby to me is quite complex to understand, well not the actual
game but more the 1000 od rules. Well Audiogenic haven't included
all these rules, but have tried to make it simple to play but
with the degree of skill and accuracy that is associated with the
game.
You can play friendlies, league games, or suprise suprise The
World Cup! You can also play with a friend! (Ooo-er!)
In the game you have 15 men, 8 being forwards, the rest backs.
The forward 8 make up the scrum.
The idea to those not in the know is to take the ball and run
behind the goal line and make touch down. On the way you can
pass but only backwards, you are not allowed to pass forwards.
This is a slight problem, but can be overcome as you can kick it
forwards.
When you do pass back, you can get tackled, usually ending up in
the need for a scrum to be taken, the control of the scrum
depends on whose side makes the error. A waggle of the joystick
makes the men pass the ball under you team, allowing the fella
behing (whats he called? - Hooker? anyway..) to pass it to fellow
team mates across the field.
If the ball goes out of play a line-out takes place, this is
fairly self-explanantory, the ball is thrown between two lines,
one from each team.
When you kick the ball forward, only yourself or the opposition
may touch it, else its a penalty.
Offsides, knock ons, they are all there, and its a bit hard to
explain them seeing as I don't know a sodden thing about rugger!
The game is viewed from either above or a sort of 3-D position.
Playblity is superb and could even match Kick Off!
