Rugby Rush throws you into the thick of the action, running down the field with the ball while a wall of hefty defenders comes running at you. A pure test of sprinting speed, precision timing, and split-second reactions, this fast-paced 3D sports game cuts away the cumbersome restrictions of comprehensive simulations. Your final goal is to break through the defensive line, survive the tackles, and make it safely into the try zone.
In Rugby Rush, you have to be super focused and fast to get the huge high score. You control the ball carrier; therefore, you have to be looking at the grass ahead of you all the time, looking for little holes in the opponent’s setup. Defenders will try to stop you in your tracks, forcing you to go sideways or jump in the air at the proper time to keep your momentum going.
By the time you reach the later levels, the challenges increase, and the field gets more crowded. And it's better to react early to oncoming dangers than to make panicky, last-second moves. Before you get to the try zone, you will see numerous power-ups and score boosts around the course that will improve your run, which adds a nice risk vs. reward element to your athletic adventure.
You will have to make a conscious effort to get into open space, instead of trying to bull your way through defenders who will do whatever to stop you. You may read their positions early and glide through gaps without compromising your sprint speed.
When a tackle stands in your path, the only way to survive is to time a jump just right. You want to get yourself near enough to pass the obstacle in front of you but not so close that you land right in the arms of another waiting defender.
At intervals during the pitch, glowing power-ups and score boosts are available to increase your athletic abilities. But it is always more important to keep control of the ball carrier than to chase every single bonus, especially if obtaining an item leads you into a very perilous path.
Rugby Rush takes the sport down to its most adrenaline-pumping core, and will give tremendous replay value to those who appreciate high-speed evasion. Lace up your boots, get out on the field, and score your famous try now!
