IGN: "Rugby Challenge wants to make a good first impression. Cribbing from the world's best-selling sports game, FIFA 11, Rugby Challenge kicks off with some high-res player models involved in some atmospheric slow-mo rugby action. Launch into a match and you'll find FIFA-style loading screens where you can run around a footy pitch with three other players, passing and kicking the ball around. Once your game is ready to start, broadcast-style pre-game footage sees the teams assembled for the anthems and, in the All Blacks' case, the haka. Presentation was clearly an important aspect of Rugby Challenge for developer Sidhe and the team has done well in this department. "
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.
