Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
With the Six Nations more popular than ever there’s never been a greater demand for a decent rugby sim and this game is good enough to satisfy almost all comers. With a full range of both international and national teams this has everything a rugger fan could ask for. The lowdown:
Rugby is not the easiest of sports to simulate for a video game but this is undoubtedly the best effort yet. It plays hard and fast with the rules sometimes (which is to say it ignores them if it will unduly affect the flow of play) but as an arcade style sports game it all works perfectly in context. Although occasionally unresponsive the controls cope well with the complexities of the game and the tutorials are great at helping you no matter whether you’re more unfamiliar with rugby or video games. There are also mountains of tournaments and cups, as well as some wholly original concepts like the Superstar mode - where only one player on each team can score points. Most exciting moment:
Winning a virtual Grand Slam in the Six Nations cup with the country of your choice. Since you ask:
Developers Swordfish Studios also produced the excellent World Championship Rugby for Acclaim, as well as the classic John Lomu Rugby for Codemasters. The bottom line:
It’s not the Pro Evolution Soccer of rugby but it comes close.

 One of the worst games I've ever played November 11, 2007
Mr. Philip A. Martin (Norwich, UK)
Even by the low standard set by rugby games this is woeful. The game play is completely ridiculous and doesn't resemble in any way a real rugby match. Kicking is virtually useless in the game and you can keep hold of the ball ad-infinitum without any fear of losing ball in turnovers. The graphics are weak and a bit cartooney.
It has a few good ideas such as the career mode which would be interesting if I could be bothered.
This game is seriously unplayable. I have had more fun playing free flash games on the internet. If you want something more realistic buy the pretty good EA rugby games which are head and shoulders above this rubbish.
 Looks quite good, but is that all that matters ? January 31, 2006

Anyone out there who has played jonah lomu rugby, and world champion rugby will be familar with the game play, that being button mashing to power yourself over in rucks and mauls.
At the time WCR was the superior rugby game compared to EA sports Rugby 2004. However Rugby Challenge 06 hasn't really changed in style of game play to WCR, it looks a lot nicer, we now have all the domestic clubs, but other than that there is nothing new here, the graphics can look a little comic like, and the commentary is terriable every now and then says a player name, cause a great deal of the players aren't programmed into the game.
I personnally prefered EA sports latest rugby 2005, the game play of it was far more skill full compared to the button mashing of WCR and RC06.
So in closing if you liked WCR then RC06 is the game for you, however if you prefer your rugby game a little more skillfull then buy EA sports rugby 2005 , or wait that little bit longer for rugby 06 to come out.Myke
