Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge is pretty much the best rugby game ever made till this day - it's simply that damn good. Featuring a nice amount of international teams, Rugby Challenge doesn't go light on the content front as the modes are engaging and the game is just filled with detail and sheer enjoyment due to how the smooth it plays.
Controls are responsive and don't take too long to master.
The graphics and animations do an excellent job of conveying a sense of realism to the game.
Having licensed teams such as the New Zealand All Blacks is a terrific addition.
Presentation is top notch and getting replays on key moments is greatly appreciated.
Its Just great that Mad Catz decided to bring this game to the United State, It an Must buy for any rugby fan Out there.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)

"Subdue and penetrate"--Motto of the New Zealand All-Blacks Rugby Team.

I was only passingly familiar with Rugby when I got my hands on Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, but I had played a lot of sports games so I thought I would give it a try. I was happily surprised by the addictive gameplay, intuitive controls, and just plain fun that Rugby Challenge offers. If you don't know much about Rugby, imagine the violent unholy lovechild of a marriage between football and soccer. It's football without the armor. It's soccer with full-speed tackling. It's pretty awesome.

If you are familiar with xbox sports games, you will probably be able to skip the tutorials and dive right in. However, if you are not familiar with Rugby there is a lot to be gleaned from the tutorial levels. The tutorials are broken into basic, intermediate, advanced, and professional tiers, each with about 6-8 skills. These skills range from moving the ball down the field to rather complicated...

Best rugby game available, October 25, 2011

I have only had this game for a little over 24 hours but I can say without a doubt that the developers have hit a homerun. It is so frustrating being a rugby fan in the United States because the availability for titles like this one are so limited. I finally got my hands on this game and it did not disappoint. The gameplay is fantastic, I love the trailing camera where it feels like you are in the line. I really think it is a huge imporvement over the old fashioned sideline camera. All the great teams are in it; the only teams and country that are not licensed is South Africa and their Super Rugby teams. As a southern hemisphere fan this should be the only title you pick up because on the other rugby game you can not play as the real All Black or Wallabies. The only problem I have with the game and why I gave it 4 stars is the passing can be glitchy at times. It seems like sometimes I need to push the pass button more than required.
