Rugby 2004

There’s only one thing that can let us forgive the British for spreading the foul contagion known as cricket across its once-great empire, and that’s rugby. Here, the punishing and fast game is captured with every league on the planet, including international and customizable teams and play-by-play commentary by John Inverdame and Gordon Bray. OK, so we’ve never heard of these guys either, but don’t worry. After a thorough training mode on the finer points on scrums, tries, and lineouts, one (or two players cooperatively) can take the controls and realistically injure opponents on soggy, mud-rutted pitches. Think Madden NFL Football minus the pads, steroids, and senile announcer, mate.
