Admittedly, there was not much wrong with the old control system, but it still seems lazy not to even try to innovate. However, fans of the old EA Sports Rugby series may well love it, if only because, despite the gap in time, there are so many parallels between them.Īnyone concerned, for example, about new controls need not worry – they are more or less exactly the same as they were in Rugby 08, a comprehensive first-match win proving their familiarity. Unfortunately, playing RWC2011 only forces one to question what the game's developers, HB Studios, have been doing in this intervening period, since it does not appear to have included much time working on this title. Factor in that the last game in question was EA Sports' lacklustre Rugby 08, a hasty remake of Rugby 06 rushed out to cash in on the 2007 tournament, and the hold-up is even harder to bear. Although the four-year delay since the last oval ball-based offering from the gaming industry is hardly in the same league as the 24-year wait New Zealand have had to endure since they last won the World Cup (not that they're chokers or anything…), it still feels like a very long time.
