Well, my first game has debuted at number 5 for all platforms at all prices on the UK game charts.
There is a great flash site on Electronic Art's UK site. They have some great videos and pics so you can get a feel for how the game looks. Check it out!
Here is what some of the reviews are saying about Rugby 06:
OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) 8.4 - "Not just the best looking rugby game on Xbox, one of the best looking sports games ever."
IGN 8.3 - "Rugby 06 improves upon its predecessor in almost every way. At times, if you don't button through the cutscenes, you'll feel like you are watching a rugby broadcast, and that's high praise. ...this is easily the prettiest rugby title yet."
GAMESPOT 7.6 - "Thanks to some crucial new control mechanics, the introduction of star impact players that can blow a match wide open, real clubs and players, and a faithful re-creation of the high-impact sport of rugby, Rugby 06 improves on last year's effort and remains an engaging and fun game."
STUFF MAGAZINE 8.5 - "You won't be disappointed. Rugby '06 is so good, if you shut your eyes and hold the box to your nose, you can practically smell the post-scrum Guinness vomit."
OPERATION SPORT 8.0 - "At the unbelievably low price-point, Rugby 06 is a steal. If you like sports games and are looking for a solid, action packed title, you owe it to yourself to give Rugby a try. "
But hey, don't take their word for it. Go out and give it a try!I am a little late posting on this so the game has since dropped to #5 for the PS2(was #1) and #6 for the Xbox (was#5). Another great game that was created at our studio is Fifa Street 2 for the PSP. It's currently at number one!
I am very proud to have had a part in creating this game (Rugby06). It was the culmination of many talented programmers, artists and producers.
There aren't enough positive things I can say about the team here at HB.
So, look for both of these games in stores. They really are fun to play!
