Rugby 2001 (PC) Reviews

One day I was going down to my local virgin store and looking arround the various catogories of Cd's when my eye fell upon a certain rugby 2001, little did I know that I would be holed up in front of the computer for the next month playing on this fantastic game. This game is by far the best rugby game in circulation(It's only ...  Read the complete review

Rugby 2001 is another game from the successful EA Sports stable and with this title they have produced the most proficient rugby game to date. You can select leagues, tournaments, friendlies or even training sessions to play in. But perhaps the two player friendly (yeah, right!) is where the game's strength really lies as you try to ...  Read the complete review

When I heard EA were to release a rugby game I was very sceptical, I mean, rugby is hardly the same kind of free flowing sports as they usually produce, and the FIFA control system hardly lends itself to rugby. Basically, I thought this game was destined to be a nightmare to play and a complete shocker overall! However, when I managed to play the ...  Read the complete review

I brought Rugby 2001 two weeks ago and I think this is the best Rugby game out yet! It has all the major teams that compete in the World Cup and more! Unfortunately the game doesn’t have league team but it really doesn’t matter as the game play just blows you away! Each team have there strengths and the weaknesses and obviously (if ...  Read the complete review

Its been a long time waiting for a decent rugby game but at last its here. After the (surprise) success of Jonah Lomu Rugby which focuses on the 1995 world cup we have all, at some stage got bored with it and wanted something else. Now its here. It is fast, graphically-stunning and immensely playable. I have not been able to put it down ...  Read the complete review

There is a saying that goes "Absence make the heart grow fonder." Perhaps that's what EA Sports was thinking when they took five years to finish the follow-up Rugby World Cup 95. I'm happy to report to rugby fans around the world (or at least in Europe) that EA has finally released Rugby 2001 for your enjoyment. I am not quite so ...  Read the complete review

My first impresson when I played this game was how well EA have managed to reecreate such a complicated game as rugby and made it fairly simple to pick up by a range of ages. I have enjoyed every minute of playing this game. My only concern being that it is very similar to Jonah Lomu Rugby. But apart from this it is flawless. The graphics ...  Read the complete review

The best rugby game I have ever played on any format is undoubtly Rugby 2001 by EA Sports. If you like Jonah Lomu you will love this. The stadiums are brilliant, the teams are good, the action is quick and the game has many levels so you can always play in a challenging game. Rugby games are fairly rare compared to other sports, so when one comes ...  Read the complete review

Being Welsh one of my many interests is Rugby. Having now retired from playing the game then whats the next best thing, this is. I ahd Jonah Lumu when it came out for the Playstaion but found it hard to play this game takes this all away. You have commentry from Bill McLaren and Jamie Salmon which gives a very authentic touch. The teams are ...  Read the complete review
