I am hearing you Simo, been waiting for this game for a long time... going to ring Harvey Norman where I pre-ordered to make sure they are getting it in on Friday!!!

Let us all know how you go with the new game.
I am sure it will be a lot of fun.

I couldn't even master the friggin demo

Ok, i couldn't wait for my Chrimstas present, went out and hired it last night!!

Overall I think it's good, and some of the players are quite life like (congrats to the writers on Aaron (amazing likeness, even down to the floppy hair!), Billy (I swear the player even RUNS like him!), and Cameron (I guess not hard, he's got a unique set of eye brows

). But Kirk Reynoldson's beard is strangely BLACK and blonde.... odd!

The graphics do let it down sometimes, and it's a shame that the numbers on the players' numbers aren't easier to read, so you could know who you are playing with at the time (sometimes the commentator says) - but that could also be my telly...

What would be great is if the game showed somewhere on the screen who you were currently selecting.

But it's fun, and even my partner, who didn't even want me to PLAY it on "his" Playstation 2 (for fear of contamination!!), is hooked on it now, except for the fact that I"M BETTER THAN HIM AT IT!!

Overall, well done to the creators

Got it, played it, love it.

All the player likenesses are really good, but Robbie Kearns looks a little grumpy all the time

.

Currently carving up the rest of the comp with the mighty Storm. I just give the ball to Billy & he slices through.

Only downside I've found so far is someone gets sent off / sin binned every game

for those who might be more than interested in the game... this is a good place

btw, welcome StormFanatic.

Storm have now won the comp on reserve level, which I found ridiculously easy, all you had to do was hit it up and bust the tackle before running the length of the field for a try.
Other than that I am happy with the game, although I don't think the player likeness exists, and the camera is maybe set too far back as you can't tell who has the ball at times.
A great first up effort for a league game though

Thanks ThunderStruck

I take it you hadn't played ET's rugby league?

I realise it wasn't truly a first up effort, but it has been a long time between league games and Sidhe's first effort, so I will class it as their first go. The only way is up from here!!! How good will the next one be???

I loved et's rugby league, I was hooked on it.

I should probably step up to Seasoned now, beating the Raiders in Canberra 80 - 12 on Reserve was a bit over the top! (Fun though, Slater scored 7 tries

)

steaming stormer · Sun Dec 21, 2003 5:27 pm

Storm back to back premiers!!! One on reserve and one on seasoned... time for legend!!!
