Revision as of 08:43, 11 October 2008

NRL Rugby League 2 is a video game based on the sport of rugby league. It is a sequel to the 2002 NRL Rugby League (Australian tile - also known as Stacey Jones Rugby League in New Zealand and Super League Rugby League in the United Kingdom), was released in December 2005 for PlayStation 2 and PC, and in June 2006 for Xbox.

The title was developed by New Zealand company Sidhe Interactive and published in Australasia by Home Entertainment Suppliers and in Europe by Alternative Software. New Zealand Warriors captain Steve Price is featured on the cover.

Features

Key improvements over the original NRL Rugby League include:

Online multiplayer, allowing two players to play against each other in either a friendly match or a competitive "ranked" mode
More teams and players than ever before, with updated statistics and team strips
40 Stadiums, including revamped versions of those from NRL Rugby League
Brand new gameplay features, including ball-stripping and pass-to-playmaker controls
Multi-year franchise mode, putting the player in the manager's shoes - hire and fire players, manage team finances and stake out a multi-year plan as you strive for glory
Massively upgraded graphics engine, allowing for remarkable star likenesses for more than 500 players
Motion-captured animation from Weta Digital, the vfx-wizards behind The Lord of the Rings movies
Highly customizable gameplay experience, with sliders and content editors that allow for considerable adjustment.

In addition, the Xbox version of the game includes the following enhancements:

Multiple save-slots available in Franchise and Competition modes
Shoulder-barge, fend and sidestep controls additionally on right thumbstick
Pause function disabled during ranked matches to prevent player exploiting this feature
Autosave available in Competition and Franchise modes
Graphical tweaks to improve the overall look and realism of the game
Improvements to management of custom and customized players and teams

They do not sell this game anywhere in New Zealand any more

Gameplay Modes

Instant Action
Jump straight into a game with random teams, pausing only to decide which team you want to play
Single Game
Set all the details (such as teams, weather, stadium - etc) before jumping into a one-off friendly match
Competition
Take part in a full season of a popular competition or make up your own - includes multiplayer support, with the ability to play as 1 to all of the teams in the contest
Franchise Mode
Ten years back-to-back, with off-field management, player trading and representative competition spicing up the action
Online
Both friendly (no consequence) and ranked modes, allowing head-to-head multiplayer over the internet

Background

Announced in February 2005, Rugby League 2 became known to the world with the launch of an associated website and, importantly, a forum / bulletin board system hosted by Sidhe Interactive. For the first time fans were able to gather together in one location, discussing the title amongst themselves and also directly with the developer.

The online functionality in particular received a lot of attention, being the first (and still only) Rugby-variant sport to go online. Many thousands of online games have been completed since release, with the top players on both the PC and PS2 charts having completed more than 350 games each.

Rugby League 2 has proven to be quite the catalyst when it comes to fans dreaming of new features and improvements for a later version of the game. Thousands of ideas have been submitted thus far (a thread on the official forums at http://forums.sidheinteractive.com/ collates the best of these), which the developers have promised to consider should another version be developed.

If another version is eventually green-lit, an announcement will be made on the official forums.

Update

A content updated version is called Rugby League 2 World Cup Edition and will be released exclusively on PlayStation 2 in early November.
