Well, it's taken four years, but Rugby League 3 is finally here. And while the majority of you blockheaded league fans wouldn't be caught dead with a Nintendo Wii in your house, the fact of the matter is that it's all we have."

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.
