Recently NZGamer.com was fortunate enough to get some hands on time with Sidhe's upcoming title, Rugby League 3. From the start, it's obvious that it's a true sequel to Rugby League 2. Rugby League 2: World Cup Edition might have technically been a follow-up, but a mere roster update with a few extra bells and whistles doesn't make for a fully-fledged sequel. This isn't the case with RL3 - it's certainly not simply a Wii port of Rugby League 2.
Guardian writes: "Powerful, fast and skilful, Rugby League is a fantastic sport to watch. This video game adaptation is less exciting to play, but is still worth a look for fans."
GP writes: "Having never played the previous two instalments in Sidhe Interactive's Rugby League series I'm not in a position to comment on how Rugby League 3 improves on its predecessors. So with that in mind I'm reviewing the game as if it's the first in the series – based on its own merits."
The Gamecube control setup allows the game to be played like any other game might - imagine your FIFAs or Maddens and you're looking at a similar experience. The game still has flaws but it's easier to overlook in light of a functional controller setup. Of course, most people who own a Wii will be restricted to the Waggle control combos - Wiimote and Nunchuk unbelievably being the worse of the two.
