    Despite its limitations, Roll7 should be lauded for putting out such an interesting idea. Rollerdrome feels like a seed that can flourish into something greater. Extreme sports games with this kind of gimmick don't come along often and it's worth strapping on some skates to experience.

    Rollerdrome plays as fluidly as the action looks. Like a murderous ballerina on roller skates, methodologically blast your enemies into the afterlife. The high difficulty level keeps the action challenging, while never having to compromise on style. Rollerdrome makes killing graceful, but would have benefited from a little more variety, and not just in the arenas themselves. Apart from the popping, the game is actually just a bit too bare.

    Rollerdrome is a roller coaster that goes uphill so that the tracks end just as you are about to go down it. It is one of those games that accompanies you through an incredible learning process. And just when you're ready for the best; just when you're ready to let yourself be hugged by it... it ends up leaving you wanting more.

    Rollerdrome is about getting lost in a giddy gameplay trance. As the hypnotic electro pulsed with each turn of the half-pipe and slow-mo bullets tapered out of a well-timed flip, I was grinning like a goon. Yet where OlliOlli World offered a bountiful buffet of levels to grind across, Rollerdrome’s stingy stage selection left me hungry. Much like a lockdown fad, Rollerdrome offers a thrilling way to pass an afternoon or few, but once you’ve got your kicks, only the dedicated will still be donning their skates.

    Roll7 blends genres with total mastery in Rollerdrome, one of the most breathlessly stylish and casually, outrageously cool games you'll ever play. [Eurogamer Essential]

    This is a very fun and stylish game, I was completely sucked into the world of the sport!

    This is a very fun and stylish game, I was completely sucked into the world of the sport!
    I didn't pay much attention to the story the first time round, I was just focused on getting to the action quickly, but then I went back and read everything and it was really cool putting the story together.
    You get into a real rhythm while playing, and feels like a badass.

    PRO:
    - That soundtrack is brilliant
    - Unique graphics
    - Neat gameplay, not too complicated to understand
    - Plenty of challenge in later levels
    - Single player so no hackers or screaming kids

    CON:
    - Not long enough (but to be fair it was a lower price game, but would be good to have more story and levels / gameplay modes)
