HB Studios, along with 505 Games, have produced the official game of the tournament. This is a sports sim, so there is no deep fulfilling story, instead there is the blood, sweat and tears of playing alongside your fellow man as you try to lift the Webb Ellis Cup. There are five modes that greet you in the options: The World Cup tournament, international tests, a warm-up tour, a place kick shoot-out and online multiplayer. The international tests are probably the best place to start for novices to the sport. The rules are explained during the loading screens as are the controls and these need getting used to as the lack of a tutorial does not help beginners. You can play as any of the 20 teams in the World Cup.
The shoot-out mode is a nice inclusion, allowing you to practise and perfect your kicking technique, which is vitally important in the modern game. The controls are fairly well executed, but again they take some getting used to.
The warm-up tour is a succession of international tests that will get you ready for the World Cup itself.
