My copy arrived this morning of Amazon and got to admit im very jealous that there isnt a rugby league version of similar style and content to this its a fantastic game and I advise it to all game lovers.

Ps
If anybody has it my xbox Gamertag is ''Danny Bamber'' if your up for a 1vs1.

I'm hoping to get it soon, Saw the trailer and have to admit it looks really good. Played the demo for the official RWC game but that was terrible. The Lomu game looks the real deal and surely it wouldnt be too hard to just take out all the scrums and rucks and change it to make a rugby league version.

Being made by Sidhe as well so they have experience of making games with RL rules, like you say shouldnt be too hard to produce a game with same gameplay and graphics.

Is the game bette than the official RU world cup game.

Yeah mate the passing is much slicker and more realistic Id say its allot better than the RWC one.

It would be nice to see. Infact I wonder if it would even be so hard to say have a game like jonah lomu rugby challenge and having the option to play league aswell as union. the player movements... kicking, passing and tackling is already there... just have an option to change the rules and way the players move about the pitch a bit. That would surely then give the game a massive audience of combining both league and union fans. Considering all the teams and player likenesses etc a game like fifa have I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible to have the superleague and nrl teams added either.

Can't see it ever happening mind, and I'd much prefer to have a great all out league game... but it would be great alternative imo!

I've been meaning to get it. Was going to pre-order but then it got delayed so I didn't bother. Went to buy it the other day and couldn't find a copy in Manchester. When I do get it I'll add you Danny.

going to get it soon, in the mean time if anyone as the rwc game and wants a game add me rigbywrlfc.

No worries Dave I got mine of amazon as I too could not find a copy anywhere.

ordered mine from Play.com on Sunday. the official game is rubbish so hoping this is better. Do any of you remember the first Jonah Lomu rugby game on the ps1 when the commentary was from Bill McClaren and Bill Beumont? some classic one liners like

'he is digging in there like a demented mole'

and the best one

'that tackle will leave him in Ward 4'

'i hope not Bill, thats a maternity ward'

CLASSIC!

Jonah Lomu Rugby definitely had the best commentary of any sports game ever made.

Whenever Pat Richards sends over another kick straight between the posts I always think : "That's uncanny, he's kicking like a machine"

He's digging like a demented mole

"And that's his second try and that'll put a smile on his face."

"Maybe he should have passed it."

"They don't build them like that any more"

"He won't like that, he's one of a kind"

Has this new Jonah Lomu game got a player editor on it so that you can make league players and put them on it?

On the EA Rugby 08 game I made some league players and put them on the rosters if they had the same name as someone in the commentary database, I had Slater, Hodges, Tate and King in the Wallabies back line.

Laksanasonpong with the kick!
