Rugby Challenge 2, the sequel to Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, will be released in June of this year on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. It is the Lions Tour Edition, and today we're giving away copies of the game, as well as an awesome Xbox 360 console.

Timed with the much anticipated Lions tour, Rugby Challenge 2 will be launched in June on consoles (PC later in the year) and feature the exclusive licence for the up and coming British and Irish Lions Tour of Australia, featuring the latest players that were announced in the squad recently.

The game also features the official licences of over 110 other teams, and over 50 stadiums from around the world, including official team, competition, and special match licenses.

The revamped sound and commentary systems feature real-time commentary from Grant Nisbett and Justin Marshall, along with French language commentary from Eric Bayle and Thomas Lombard.

In this edition the gameplay has been refined and expanded to include the addition of quick taps, quick lineouts, mauls from lineouts, interceptions, contesting the ball at the breakdown, removing players from the ruck, number eight scrum pickups, and dynamic in-game team strategies.

There are now more options to create or customise players, teams, and competitions, as well as change the game rules and behaviour to shape game play. Game modes include Match Mode, Multi-team, Competition, and an expanded multi year Career Mode.

    I never bothered with Rugby Challenge. I enjoyed the EA rugby games every now and again years ago, and I'll admit I was somewhat excited about Rugby Challenge. When I read reviews I was disappointed.

    I heard it was a brilliant game, but the exclusion of set plays and a few other glitches made it unbearable. Hopefully they've ironed out the creases in Rugby Challenge 2, wouldn't mind having a crack at it.
