Two rugby titles launching within two weeks of each other is unheard of. Though Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge (JLRC) bears the name of the infamous 1996 Codemasters classic it’s got nothing in common with it at all.

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
Though underwhelming on the whole, Lomu Rugby Challenge has a few solid nuggets worth building on in the future.
