It's been ok.

If you can get into it you can have a lot of fun with it and online was good.
My brothers put fifa amount of hours into them.
RL2 was a big improvement over the first so I'm hoping this will again be a big improvement over that.
Haven't played the World Cup edition.

Well recently I've been going through a sports game phase, so yeah I am being serious. My best mate with whom I always play the sports games absolutely loathes the Wii and theres nothing I can do about it. Im not a hardcore player, but I always liked creating a player to represent him and me and giving them a rediculous look and incredible abilities. So ya, im pretty casual with sports games but its a great break from the shooters/RPGs etc I have been playing.

(I live in New Zealand btw)

Tease.

Excellent Squil.

It just makes it a shame this isn't also on the PC like all the other RL games have been as clearly there are a few players who want this game.
Maybe it's PC piracy that's stopped them this time as they are a small development house in NZ and can't afford the losses.

So you're a Kiwi.
Kidding New Zealander. I know a few New Zealanders who hate being called that.
As they put it they aren't a dumb bird that can't fly.
