    Very addictive experience. By far one of the most fun games the PS4 has to offer. The only problem is that sometimes the online servers do not function that well.

    I think the one word I could use to describe this game is that it's just plain awesome. I am not a huge fan of soccer (football), but when you mix it with rockets attached to cars, you get something unique and fun. I can't tell you how many times I've played this with my buddies late at night or simply starting a single player season and hopefully making it to the championship game.

    Simple games are often the most effective and this is the case with RL. Although easy to pick up and play there is huge depth in the mechanics and you are always learning something as you go. Never gets old to pull off a tricky aerial goal or a last ditch save. Tremendous stuff.

    If you're looking for a fun, repeatable, competitive, sporting experience on console, and FIFA doesn't take your fancy, give Rocket League a try. Football may not be for everyone, but who doesn't love flying, super charged, remote control cars?

    Rocket League is imaginative, fun and breath of fresh air. To see something completely new in the gaming world come off so well is great to see. How ironic that a ball game involving jumping cars outdoes this years FIFA instalment.

    I've never played a game which is just so fun before (And I've played a lot) This game experienced a hiccup when it was first released with regards to the poor server quality but even then me and my friends laughed like a bunch of giddy school girls. I despise football games and I'm not a fan of racing games but by some miracle both of them put together makes the best multilayer game ever.I've never played a game which is just so fun before (And I've played a lot) This game experienced a hiccup when it was first released with regards to the poor server quality but even then me and my friends laughed like a bunch of giddy school girls.

    The customisation is cool with the cars looking sexy as hell but there is no technical difference between them so there is no reason to use a small thin Paladin when the Merc makes it easier to hit the ball, customisation is cool with my car having a top hat and a peace antenna but I would like some more options like window tint and different bumpers to make the car truly mine.
    The gameplay is far from solid but that is a good thing it can be frustrating when a car flips in the wrong direction but it can also be funny, one thing that gets on my nerves is when your team mate bumps you out of the way for no reason or when you're going for the ball they friendly collision could be toned down a bit.
    The ball is Rocket League's biggest issue with regards that it take way too long to drop especially when it hits the wall, your team mate will attempt to cross it and you just sit there and wait for it to drop so you can score by which time the entire enemy team has set up a position in the goal and the person who crossed it has done a full lap.
    Despite those problems though this game is so damn fun, I play it after work everyday with my friends and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

When I saw it free on PS Plus, I just downloaded it and gave it a shot. I was instantly hooked, in my eyes one of the best games of 2015. Simple gameplay, very decent graphics and... uh, I could go on and on about how good this game is. This game is just awesome!

    Rocket League blends soccer and racing games together, and it plays incredible well.

    Despite the simplicity, there is a high skill cap, and achieving mastery will definitely take a lot of practice. A lot of hilarious moments are to be had as well, such as scoring your own goal, or seeing a pimped out van with cash blowing out of it's exhaust.

That said, the multiplayer    Rocket League is an immensely fun game, centred around the concept of cars playing a giant game of football, that I originally got with PS Plus in July. I, along with many of my friends, were originally skeptical of the game, but eventually warmed to its fun gameplay!
    Single-player is great in itself, with the AIs' of some of your opponents testing your skills. That said, the multiplayer mode takes the game into a whole new dimension in itself, with fun co-op play testing your teamwork skills and even sometimes destroying friendships! The amount of customisation in the game is also mind-blowing, with the player able to choose from a wide selection of vehicles, make them whatever colour they want, add fun and quirky accessories and much more!
    Rocket League has also frequently been updated with DLC, adding new pitches and vehicles, all of which are reasonably priced.
    The game is a great play with very little negatives, and with an Xbox One version in the works and set to release in early 2016, more people will get to enjoy this fantastic game!    … Expand

    Let's Break it down.

    Balanced:
    Every car is cosmetic making sure everyone is on the same level no need to Nerf anything. This fact alone makes it the best online game for a long time. Then when you are online there is a solid ranking system that actually matches you quickly to game of similar skill level.

    Fast Paced:
    At 5 minutes a game your attention span is held & it makes for adrenaline filled game play knowing your just a few mins away from loosing or winning. Now let's add in boost for speed altering fun & mayhem adds a dynamic to the game that keeps every moment of the game fun.

    Addictive:
    At 5 min's game who can honestly stop at one? You find your self hooked trying to unlock all cosmetic items that you receive simply by playing a game. This feature alone rewards you to play more, couple that with short games & fast loading times why would you say no to more.

    Simple:
    My dad picked up this game and knew how to play, the rules are simple, the controls, simple. Anyone can pick up and play and have fun. That being said it doesn't stay there. There is enough tricks & abilities such as flying, to give all those who invest time more to achieve & seek.

    Brilliant:
    Rocket League is just the definition of a fun game. Games originally made for leisure & fun, it brings an arcade feel into the 21st century. With constant free updates & tweaks to the game will ensure this game is fun for years to come.    … Expand

More than a year after launch the game is still supported by the developer and they have added a new basketball-themed mode.

A combination of soccer, destruction derby, Mario Kart (Rumble Only), and other games related towards flying air crafts, resulting in a fun and enjoyable game to have fun with friends.

    All those pros will also come with some cons however. This game did start having a diversity of unique maps to play on early in the game's active life cycle, starting in Season 1 as of late, until roughly around Season 4, where they're removed entirely for moral reasons from competitive players. This results in the casual players to get bored more easily. There used to be micro-transactions in this game for a while, until fairly recently upon the re-reviewing of this game, which has been removed by the looks of things on Season 10, which is a good thing to keep the game healthy for the players. Another con to this game is, sadly, the toxicity of the game's community as a whole; as it's mixed of both positive and negative aspects, throughout my 3.7 years playing this game, which ends up being more negative than positive. Personally, I just hopefully in the future, PsyOnix should take the toxicity in their community very seriously, later going forward.

    Overall, a fun game to play either locally or in online, just try and get used to getting cursed on by over-competitive players out there. But personally, this game has a lot more potential in its plate, than it currently is using. If they were to let loose all of its limitations, then this game would be in a much better position than where it is at now.

    I have no problem saying that this is the best and most original sports game I have played since at least FIFA 12. It mixes all the best elements of sports and online multiplayer games into one in an affordable and seamless experience that looks awesome in YouTube videos as well.
