Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge Review (Xbox 360)

Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), 95 days ago

Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge is one of those games where, if you’re not a fan of the sport, you might need to do a little research. Now I have, in my time in Europe, watched some amount of Rugby so I’ve got some background in the game. However, I have never actually Jonak Lomu Rubgy challengeplayed it and I needed to learn the controls, so I worked through the tutorials which really were quite helpful in both learning something of the game as well as the controls.

Then I started checking out the rest of the game. Admittedly, I did do a bit of research on a couple other terms ,like knock on, which seems to happen a lot in the game, more than I remember it happening in the games I’ve watched. But those were in bars with the sound down, usually, so perhaps it happens in reality more than I think.

Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge Basics

Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge wasn’t all that difficult to get into. As I said, the tutorials were quite straightforward and useful which meant that I could go into the game with some chance of success. And success is what I had. Now I did take the best team I could find because I figured, I was going to need all the help I could get. Even then, I think they might have had a better game had I not actually been in control. But three wins in a row, is still three wins.

 Our Rating for Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge Review (Xbox 360)
8.0
Replay
I like Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge. I cannot say I have played rugby in the past but I do have a passing familiarity with it and it was an enjoyable experience that I would go back to again.
6.0
Graphics
The graphics in Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge are crude at times. Not absolutely terrible but could really use a lot of work. Perhaps in the next iteration.
8.5
Sound
Crowd and environmental sounds are a bit flat but the announcing and game sounds are quite good.
8.5
Gameplay
It�s definitely interesting and there only seem to be some small flaws in game physics and things happening that just do not have the feel of reality to them. There also seem to be a few major teams missing for no apparent reason, most likely licensing fees if I were to guess.
6.0
Multiplayer/Online Content
It offers head-to-head and leaderboards. In the next version co-op and some other play options like whom to control on your team etc, would be some great additions.
7.5
Overall
Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge is a good rugby game all round that could use some more work in graphics and other little things. The gameplay is quite good and it put forth an enjoyable experience. Hopefully, continued expansion of the game series will see improvement over time. I will play this one off and on until the next arrives.
