Rugby: Hard Runner 4+

It’s difficult to put into so few words just how flawed this game is. Great potential and fun gameplay is ruined by a comedy of errors.

The woeful grammar is a petty place to start, but sets to scene for a game full of mistakes and shortfalls.

What can be some satisfying and addictive gameplay is wrecked by slow and downright unresponsive controls - often failing to pass or jump in time and causing much phone-throwing frustration. Often buttons just stop working entirely, so you end up running casually into an obstacle or defender.

Second to that, the AI is slow and unrealistic, but will suddenly launch 5 metres to tackle you when another time you’d have been clean through. Frustrating, inconsistent.

Where it could be clean and crisp, the passing is that of the under 5s - lofty, slow, inaccurate, unsatisfying. A game should allow you to pull off that impossible bullet pass and make you feel like you’ve worked a brilliant try, but this lacks finesse and leaves you feeling pretty bored pretty quickly. Coupled with the awful running animation, this game feels hollow and limited, even if you do manage to put the ball over the line.

Lastly, the lack of rugby knowledge here is clear. Put some time into some rugby research and this game will be that much more enjoyable. Nitpicking though it may seem - a prop running the full length of the pitch and skinning 4 defenders is ridiculous.

A great concept, shoddy execution.

Look the games great but I don't like the fact that the most popular and the best teams are locked and need to be paid for Aus NZ SA for example are all locked and why the price $3 to unlock them isn't bad it's still not right all teams should be free and you should have extras you can pay money for like jerseys weather conditions lives etc Don't charge people to play with their country APP DELETED

Ok, I have played this game ALOT, but whenever u jump over a hurdle u go really REALLY SLOW so plz fix this
