![]() ![]() ![]() It's a shame, because there are a few nice ideas in there and it's all presented quite nicely, but the gameplay is just fundamentally broken. I was desperate for a rugby game with modern squads etc., but it's just not worth it when Rugby 08 outclasses it in almost every respect. You will need to use the mouse to advance through main and world cup menus to get to the on field action. Make lineout throw-ins look easy with a simplified pick-up-and-play control system for novice Rugby 08 players, or master the advanced mechanics to enhance your game strategy for the real rugby pro. It is too easy to score amazing tries in 08, but it's better than it being almost literally impossible because even front row players can chase down any winger. The game currently requires a combination of controller and mouse. All New Rugby 08 Set Pieces: Rugby 08 lets you take full command over every scrum and maul with enhanced push and rotation controls. You can't even pass it along the backline because the players are just in the wrong place and never go where you want them to, and the passing is stilted and unresponsive. The AI positioning and movement is also dreadful, to the point where it doesn't resemble real rugby at all. 18 completely fails to reflect the reality of rugby to anywhere near the same extent. 08 reflected this, with the addition of several forwards being more of a bonus to your chances of winning possession, rather than a necessity. The 08 mechanic makes much more sense retaining possession is as much about having players in support and getting into a ruck quickly as it is about the physical act of driving your opponent back. Rucks in real life are generally won or lost within a matter of seconds I've never seen a ruck where the pack joined, veeeeeery slowly, one by one, for about a minute. The ruck mechanic is awful! It's the main thing that has made the game unplayable for me, I actually went and downloaded Rugby 08 after playing a few games because I just couldn't bear to spend all my time rucking.
