Rugby – Playstation 2

Whether you’re a longtime rugby fan or you just wanted to learn the game before braving a scrum, you’ll enjoy Electronic Arts‘ action-packed Rugby on Playstation 2.

The sequel to EA’s Rugby 2000 edition lets you choose from 20 international rugby teams ranked across several categories. You can play in all the usual modes, including a tournament mode that contains two international championships and a world championship featuring every rugby-playing nation.

Rugby 2002’s commentary–from Bill McLaren and Jamie Salmon–and sound effects heighten the on-field drama. And for those new to rugby, EA’s tutorial mode takes you from the rules to the scrum to the field so you’re ready for the real competition.
