    (THIS IS A TEXT VERSION OF NEATMIKE's REVIEW ON YOUTUBE)
    After first only watching a friend play the beta for Rocket League, I felt underwhelmed. Now that developer Psyonix has released the full version of Rocket League on Playstation 4 and PC, I have to admit I had the wrong impression. This game is addicting and fun as hell.
    Rocket League in its simplest form is soccer with cars. It’s the way that it’s done that makes this game truly special. It’s an addicting combination of simplicity and competition. The player drops into a game size of 1vs1 to up to 4vs4 in one of 11 fully customizable vehicles. An oversized ball is placed in the middle and hell breaks loose as rocket powered cars try to send it in the goal using their bodies as paddles.
    Rocket League consists of ranked and unranked online playlists, an offline exhibition mode capable of split screen and bots, as well as a season mode similar to what you’d find in a Madden game. There are currently 4 main stages with 3 weather variants making a total of 7 cosmetically different stages. New stages will most likely be added in the future and Psyonix has stated that they’ll be free. Vehicle customization is also pleasantly deep. Changes can be made to paint, decals, wheels, and even rocket trails. Progression isn’t plagued by complicated challenges; instead the player is rewarded with items for just playing the game.
    Rocket League maintains a next-gen appearance with awesome lighting and a cool art style. Everything looks awesome running in 60fps on both PC and PS4. The only framerate drop I encountered was at the start of a match when vehicles were still loading. Despite some day 1 server issues, Rocket League seems very polished. This may partly be due to 2 very successful betas the developer decided to do.
    The gameplay is where this game truly shines. There is a lot of satisfaction in knocking around a ball with rocket boosted cars. Controls are on point and everything feels very responsive. Psyonix has previously developed the game Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars, so the gameplay is something we’ve seen before. However, as far as the current generation of consoles, Rocket League stands alone as a competitive mini sports game.
    I find myself starting up Rocket League on my Playstation 4 all the time, with how easy it is to drop in and have fun. I did find that searching for an online match sometimes took upwards of 2 minutes. This is something I expect to get better with patches and as time goes on, but it does get tedious when you are looking to jump right in. They do allow you to use the menu and your garage while searching for a match though which is a nice touch.
    Another unexpected area of excellence in Rocket League is the soundtrack. The game features an electronic soundtrack by artists Mike Ault and Hollywood Principle that fits perfect.
    Rocket League is a great new platform for competitive gaming and offers a ton of fun per dollar. It’s worth its $20 price tag, and if you’re a current subscriber of PlayStation Plus it’s a no brainer being the free game of July.

    This game is rad. Its beauty is in its simplicity. It's basic enough to be accessible to a beginner, but the physics allow for some pretty spectacular plays by the more experienced. The gameplay is just so much fun.

Not a huge hitch because in less than 24 hours they are back up and running smoothly.

    Everything is so perfectly executed. Rocket League is extremely addictive and an extraordinary sequel to the good old ps3 classic SSARPBC. It's fast paced and every match is incredibly intense. The controls are smooth and it just feels awesome navigating the stadiums with your car.

    This is an amazingly incredible multiplayer experience that is only heightened when played with friends, although you can get enjoyment from queuing solo or playing against bots in the season mode. If you are on the fence, or just need something to tell your friends to get them to try it too, I have four words for you: Rocket Powered Soccer Car.

    As soon as I had played the beta for this game I was already in love with it and the full game has so much to offer for anybody who likes driving games and sports games alike. In fact, I would recommend this game to anybody even if they are not a fan of video games as it is a must have for any casual or hardcore gamer.

    As soon as I had played the beta for this game I was already in love with it and the full game has so much to offer for anybody who likes driving games and sports games alike. In fact, I would recommend this game to anybody even if they are not a fan of video games as it is a must have for any casual or hardcore gamer.

    First off: The visuals. The graphics in this game are stunning as each blade of grass can be distinguished and the paint on the cars really shines and makes it look realistic whilst still keeping a sort of cartoonish feel. There are a small amount of stadiums but enough variations of sizes and weathers to make each game feel different with gloomy and dull stadiums to huge brightly coloured stadiums which are amazingly appealing to the eyes. The amount of customization the game adds to the vehicles is phenomenal as there are literally thousands of different combinations to add to your vehicle and it always feels rewarding to unlock more hats and antennas to try out to keep your vehicle personalized to your own liking.

    The sound design is done beautifully as you really feel the speed of the vehicles and the sounds made when using boost feels realistic and adds to the sense of speed even if you have chosen a ridiculous rocket trail of which there are many and you may find this game is surprisingly funny in many aspects. The chanting and sounds of the crowd make the stadium feel alive and as if you were participating in a real sports league being chanted by fans right down to the final 10 second countdown where the crowd will chant with the numbers to add to the sense of excitement and tension.

    Finally and most importantly is the gameplay. The game plays exactly how it should with physics that are not too floaty whilst making your car feel like it has weight. The controls work perfectly and even if they are not to your personal liking they are easily changed as they are fully rebindable. Every match is always different whether it is online or offline as the AI feel like real people and the difficulties are programmed perfectly to give you a walk in the park or a real challenge. The servers were a little bit unstable as they were down for the first few days of release but as of this review they are working perfectly and it is easy to find a working server in a matter of seconds. The gameplay is very easy to get the hang of and it only took me a couple of games to be caught in the groove and the more you play the more you will learn what strategies to use and where the best points are to take shots or save them. Goals always feel extremely satisfying especially if the chances seemed low and I found myself shouting "YES" at the screen often as if I was watching a real sporting event which made me all the more excited. After each match you unlock some kind of item and I assume it is random what you are given but I have noticed that the items are usually better if you win which gives you all the more reason to push towards victory.

    Overall this is an utterly fantastic party game that can be enjoyed alone or with friends by anyone, even those who do not play video games often. I feel some people may find this game repetitive after long periods of play but there is never a dull moment when playing Rocket League and if you are going to buy any game this year it should probably be this one.

    The sense of speed causes adrenaline to surge constantly. So challenging and fun. Your car possesses so much power, but the more you use, the harder it is to keep things under control. You are limited never by unlocks or equipment, but only the insanely high skill cap.

    Well, the first time I saw the trailer I thought "Mmh. Looks nice, but I'll wait with buying it until I've heard some opinions on it". 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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game I have played on PS4! Very addictive, in a good way. Considering the simplicity of the game and the developers continued improvement with patches being released, I would rate this a 10. There is room for improvement however, with the developers maybe adding a live tournament knockout mode possibly. 10 teams in a lobby, teams knocked out with a winner decided. I think a lobby would definitely improve the replayability aspect of this game. The ranked seasons mode is okay, however I do think that teams playing a tournament would be way more fun. Teams can be random as well, just like the 3v3 mode is now where you play with random teammates. Still a 10 out of 10 even without this lobby however, as the developers took a simple concept and made it really fun. Expand

    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.

    This game is Amazing, simple at the start but get very deep as you learn. there isalways somewhere you can improve. It has a cult like following and the skill ceiling is massive. Im around 600 hours into the game and am just barely hitting the tip of the iceberg in skill. The possiblities of this game are limitless nothing seperating you and you're opponent ecept skill.

    Was hesitant buying it since I'm an avid Fifa player and didn't want to mix between them but I'm glad I bought this game! I was having so much fun and played for an hour. Not as frustrating and pressured as Fifa and you can have a lot more fun especially if you team up with friends. Great Game!

    Rocket League is basically an addictive game, meant for both casual and competitive players. It is not an artistic game whatsoever, because it does not mean to be. Combining football and cars is truly an original idea, and, more importantly, the result regarding its technical aspects and gameplay possibilities is quite good.

    If you do not like cars nor football, then Rocket League may not be your game. Otherwise, no one can deny how enjoyable playing it can be, especially if you do it online or with friends.

    There's not much to say other than that Rocket League is one of the best titles on the PS4, and still holds a relatively large player base 3 years after release. I mean, I have a tendency to lag a lot, but that can easily be justified by lack of any kind of good internet connection.
    Basically, football+cars=amazing.

    I started gaming on an Atari 2600 (when they were new) and have been a casual gamer my entire life. Rocket League is hands down, the most immersive, challenging, frustrating and rewarding game I have ever played. In over 30 years of gaming, the ONLY game that has kept me up until dawn. Love it!

    - So satisfying to score a goal
    - Different game modes (hockey, basketball, mayhem and different annual events etc...)
    - Fun&challenging to try to fly with the rocket boost and hit the ball high mid air.

    cons:
    - I can not think of any... maybe the SP modes are pointless but who plays those anyway. Multiplayer is the key here.

At first this may appear to be a fairly simple game but it soon reveals its hidden depths thanks to the fantastically responsive controls, that allow for all manner of skills and tricks, and the need to effectively work with your teammate(s) if you’re ever going to succeed in the competitive online environment.

    The manner in which Psyonix continue to support this title with free updates to the arenas, vehicles and decals also has to applauded, especially in an age where many of the bigger developers seem to want to wring every last penny out of their customers.

The result: one rank gained, one rank then lost. Meanwhile, my friend playing on a new account, gets no MVP and is last place on the team in nine of ten games and gets put into the same division as me.

    Overall
    Insanely fun and addicting for such a simple idea, particularly if you have a couple of friends to team up with. The frustrating ranking system keeps it from being a 10, but still one of the best games on the console and certainly the best PSPlus game to date by a long shot.
