International Rugby for MD PAL


Image: MobyGames

International Rugby

The one with tiny sprites and breakneck speed


Genre: sports - rugby

Publisher: Domark

Year: 1993

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Plays like the Sensible Soccer games, with their tiny sprites and too fast gameplay. But hey, the speed makes for a far more interesting experience than the slog that is the EA rugby games. It's still impossible to move the ball upfield, so I still hate it, but at least I can do something.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

You can jump in and play a game. That's the extent of the configuration options.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Has country named teams and some historical data, I guess. I don't know what a license would even look like for this sport. I like that you can just jump in, although the menus use a cursor which always looks dumb in a console game.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Tiny sprites that move fast and look silly.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Light crowd noise and the occasional whistle being blown. Yawn


Overall Score: 23

Review ID: 6817
