OXCGN's Teenage-gamer takes a look at a game close to his heart, Rugby League Live, an Aussie game for Aussie sports fans.

A style of game that does require specialised gameplay mechanics, and a true Aussie flavour.

Come check it out and some pics . . . but is it all that it could be?

Rugby League Live is a game full of big hits, amazing tries and nail-biting matches but does this game belong in the big league or the reserves?

Finally a Rugby League game for 360- Worth the wait?

Rugby League Live, produced by Australian developer Big Ant Studios for the 360 and PS3, has been released just in time for the Australian Rugby League finals. But was this game rushed and should it have been polished in the off season? Let’s take a look.

The game is by Big Ant Studios and Tru Blu games, with the original studio responsible for the Xbox, PS2, and recent Wii rugby league games, Sidhe, relegated to providing back-up work. Rugby League Live does use some aspects from the earlier Rugby League series but the developer has changed the game so it does feel different.

Rugby League Live has a smaller number of game modes than previously in the Wii game which is disappointing. There is only Quick Match and Competition. Quick match is just like a normal one-off match and Competition is where you play through a season as your favourite Rugby League team and hopefully take the Premiership.

There is no franchise mode where you get to be your own manager of the team and perform trades or change training schedules like the last Rugby League games, which really isn’t acceptable.
