After the official Rugby World Cup game being a massive disappointment on Xbox 360 and PS3 all hopes for a good rugby game for this generation of consoles have been pinned on Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, and going by reviews so far it, at least critically, is fair a lot better.
It also appears that consumer reaction has been a lot more positive too with Alternative Software MD Roger Hulley confirming that the day-one allocation for retail stores has all been snapped up.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
Though underwhelming on the whole, Lomu Rugby Challenge has a few solid nuggets worth building on in the future.
Tru Blu Entertainment announced today that Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge Gold Edition app is now available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Developed by Australian Gaming Studio Wicked Witch, the app is the most advanced and feature-packed Rugby app ever made, offering gamers a quick match through to a full featured international competition.
I Cant Wait To Get It After Work Tomoz Along With Forza 4 And The MS Speed Wheel.....Happy Days
I might have to pick this up i got rwc2011 and really liked it but im only into national teams in rugby so not sure if ill play this but might pick it up to give it a go.
Get Swordfish studios back on to make a rugby union game & I'll it'll be on my radar.
Actually, seeing I'm more a rugby league fan. lets have Swordfish make a league game, as they've already gone down in history as makers of the best union game ever.
I would love these guys to do either in honesty, as there Jonah Lomu Rugby game on the PS1 was absolutely awesome......
They can also do a Cold Winter 2, as Cold Winter was one of the best console fps's last gen...so a Cold Winter sequel would kick ass for me.
