    I hate soccer and I hate racing/car games (and I'm not even a fan of most multiplayer games) BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNEST GAMES EVER. Exquisite controls, incredible enjoyment, ridiculous replayability. They have a masterpiece on their hands.

    This action-packed, fast-paced, 'Top Gear' type car football/soccer game is a thrill! It is pure enjoyment for everyone in the sofa waiting for their turn as well.

    All in all, this game is incredibly fun, hard to master and great even to watch other (preferably skilled) people playing. The variety of options in gameplay (1 vs 1, 3 vs 3), the multiple scenarios, cars and challenges, give this game an almost unmatched replay quality. I've played this game consistently for a year and a half and I am still hooked. The addition of decals and other perks made it all the more interesting. Getting that random "Crate" drop encourages you to keep on grinding in Ranked (or free) mode.

    After playing so many great games on PS4 (Metal Gear Solid V, Fallout 4, FFXV, Skyrim, FIFA etc), this humble little game is, by far, the one I've played the most. Psyonix: chapeau! 10/10

It also retains almost all the features of the original: Including the amazing 4 player split screen and bots. Two features lost in this age of gaming. The only features not returning I can think of is custom playlist for the music, (which is trivial but I still miss it) and the mini game campaign. (which was fun but really a minor distraction in the grand scheme of things) Obviously there are vast improvements to visuals, options, net code, car-customization. And yes as of right now servers are having issue (only because the game is so awesome) but if there is one game studio I would trust to rectify the situation quickly its Psyonix. I mean Halo 2 sold 2.4 Million units in 24 hours. This game shipped 1.2 Million in 48. Halo made the news with those sales #’s, this game was done by a small indie company not funded by M$.
    But since it’s the gamplay that set it apart I will just copy and paste my review of SARPBC as I feel that is the best explanation as to why this game is great.
    “I know this is going to sound like an exaggeration buy I am completely serious. I have played video games nearly all my life, I even worked in a game store in high school. What I am getting at is I know my games. And this is, in my option, the best sports video game of all time. I would also consider it the best split-screen multiplayer game for 4 people currently available. Be warned the learning curve on this game is very-very high so it is best to start playing the game with a group of people near the same skill level. Why is this game one of my favorite games of all time? Well there are a lot of reasons. For one it is the perfect mix of strategy and execution. The game is very complex, well actually the game is very simple, but the possible approaches to the game are infinite. I used to play alot of shooters (mostly halo), it was really fun but after awhile my strategy for almost any given situation became static. However in this game, while a few strategy do remain constant, so many (after four years of play) are dynamic. You really have to improvise on situations in this game, the result is that the game always seems fresh. Again same can be said with execution in this game. I have been playing for years and there is always more for me to learn, and it continually feels like i am moving towards being a better player. ( If you want an example of how good people can be at this game just go to youtube, some of the people that play this game are unbelievably good ). Again i will use shooters as a counter example, where execution performance converges on an asymptote at a quicker rate. (I'm not trying to bash shooter i like them alot, but almost all the execution is based on reaction time and muscle memory) Scoring goals in this game requires an almost indefinable finesse that leads you to feel a real sense accomplishment. Anyway I am just rambling now. My main point, buy this game.

    Oh and also Psyonix, the company that makes this game, is really cool. In an age where DLC cost usually as much as most games itself, Psyonix has released two patches (doubling the original amount, of maps and car skins / fixing glitches ext,) for free. The later of the patches, i think, was released over two years after the game came out. Anyway it's a great little company that is worthy of support”

It's accessible, has steady graphics, no lag, and the matchmaking is phenomenal most of the time. If I had to find a complaint it would be that the AI players who sometimes get slotted in are overpowered and dont make many mistakes.

    If you have PS+, you have no excuse. Go download this game. If you don't, you still have no excuse. Take $20 and download this game.

    I can't put this game down. It's my go-to when I turn on the PS4. A little tricky to pickup at first but hundreds of hours later I'm still at it and only getting better. This isn't done with earning fancy perks or tricks, it's done with endlessly tweaking your game style and learning more about the tiniest nuances of its game play.

    Rocket League is one of the most entertaining and fun games I think I have ever played. Surprisingly deep in its mechanics, everything works perfectly as every game, online or offline, is as ridiculously fun as the one before it. There's also replay value here in abundance, surprisingly, as it's very, very addictive.

    95/100 (rounded to 10/10).

    Psyonix, the developer of Rocket League had previously delivered Supersonic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars on the PS3. It was exactly the same concept as Rocket League, but the delivery ultimately and sadly could never match the ingenuity of the concept.

    Roll-on to 2015 and the spiritual sequel (perhaps redux), Rocket League arrives, and to say its a step in the right direction is perhaps understating it!!

    A host of different single-player and multi-player options should cover everybodys tastes, and this perhaps is the icing on the cake to the gameplay. The concept of football using cars is taken to its most fun and competitive and even if you think that you can't play this, you will, thanks to really well-thought controls and presentation that doesn't confuse the player, rather it assists whilst delivering all the necessary punch.

    The only negative point right now is the online (server issues), but they are improving, and in this weekend just gone I've spent a fair few hours playing this online.

    Rocket League is perhaps a game that is devoid of words to elevate it anymore or debate it: for if you are then you're missing the point. Play it for goodness sake, enjoy it, and see you online!!

    It really brings out the competitive spirit. If you don't get a goal right, it makes you try harder. When you see people getting goals while flying, it makes you want to soar too. If you're tired of the yearly FIFA, this will rejuvenate your soccer interest.

    Rocket League is the very definition of "easy to learn, hard to master". Building upon the simple concepts of "hit ball at goal" and "rockets are awesome", this game leaves any gamer dancing in their seat and eagerly awaiting the next tense match.

    Simplistic visceral fun. Soccer with cars!! There is little depth beyond using angles and timing your jump (to hit the ball) with the bounce of the ball but damn it is the most purely fun game I have played all year. I would equate it to something like Super Smash Bros in that it is easy to pick up and play, there is a lot of room to increase your skill, and it's just incredible fun.

These are not things that should inspire a person to log into Metacritic and bash someone's hard work. The devs obviously put a lot of care into the making of this game, but they weren't anticipating it being one of the major hits of 2015. That being said they couldn't have dreamed that the servers would get the traffic that they did. Obviously they could've been "better safe than sorry" and made sure they could handle the traffic but even then it doesn't always work out for everyone. My time with this game so far has been some of the most fun I've ever had in a game. This is the Mario Kart killer right here and I **** love Mario Kart 8. Expand

    I'm going to revise my launch review from a 9 to a 10. My main quibble back in July was that the AI was terrible, because I was sort of expecting solo play along the lines of Tecmo Super Bowl or something, and that was a bit presumptuous and misguided. Yes, the AI is garbage, but who cares? This might just be the most fun and addictive multiplayer game of the year, and probably the last XI'm going to revise my launch review from a 9 to a 10.

    I can get burnt out on it and take two weeks off, then come back and spend another week's worth of free time playing the hell out of it. Even better, aside from DLC stuff (which is completely optional and not required by any means) there is no need to put more money in the game and still get full enjoyment out of it. It's actually depressing how that is a highlight in this age of gaming, but there ya go.

    More recently they launched a new series of game modes, with some taken from the first battle cars game, that really added a sufficient amount of variety to the game and is heavily utilized by the player base. The only downside is the mode is completely random. I'm not a big fan of the low gravity mode but the big ball and cube ball modes are insanely fun.

    Yes the player base has dropped quite a bit. You won't see 50K players online at low peak times anymore and sometimes you can wait 5 minutes late at night (PST) for a 4v4 game with only 150+ players hanging out in that lobby, but going on six months of life there's still no shortage of games and no game modes that are abandoned. Probably the only downside of Rocket League is being a west coast US nocturnal player (9pm-4am PST), which unfortunately I am.

    This is easily the best $20 you will ever spend. When it goes on sale, it's an absolute steal.

Games are fast, frantic and brilliant fun, there's nothing quite like scoring and epic goal and watching the replay, which you can save at the end of the game.

    The soundtrack is awesome with a number of unique songs playing as you wait for a game. The community is very nice and people often have fun banter during games. Most people are decent and I've only ever got one negative message after a game, most will congratulate you if you score a great goal.

    The controls are fluent and work well, car designs are cool and can be customised. Levelling up works well and gives you a reason to keep playing. Online it works well, now and then there is lag which is frustrating but 90% of games I've played have been absolutely fine.

    If you are looking for a fun and addictive arcade multiplayer I highly recommend Rocket League.

    You have a stadium. You have a battle-car. You have a ball. You have simple controls. Does that mean the game is simple? Yes! Does that mean the game is easy, boring or that it sucks? No, definitely not!

    General Features: Rocket League features several modes, as example an online mode at which you can play ranked and unranked games, varying between 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3 and 4 vs. 4.

    General Features: Rocket League features several modes, as example an online mode at which you can play ranked and unranked games, varying between 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3 and 4 vs. 4. Of course, you can also play with your friends at home via. local co-op because it's one of the games which has a splitscreen mechanism for up to 4 players - true old-school gaming! It also features several offline modes, such as exhibition matches against bots or season mode against bots. And of course, it also features a tutorial and a training mode which both are well made.

    Gameplay: Rocket League is incredibly balanced. Ever battle-car has the same speed, the same maneuverability and the same jump height. The only thing which is slightly different between the battle-cars is the hitbox, but you probably won't notice that the hitbox is different at all. The general gameplay is very fast, very fun and very addictive. The controls are simple, but mastering the cars and the battle-car is difficult. The bots are playing surprisingly good, there's a high possibility that you will lose your first games against the bots.

    Customization possibilities: Players are able to customize their battle-car by unlocking items which are gained by completing an online or offline match. This includes changing the body, decal (skin), paint, wheels, rocket trail, topper (hat) and antenna of the battle-car. In total, there are more than 150 customization items unlockable, which means that there are millions of different customizations possible

    My conclusion: Rocket League is incredibly fun. Rocket League is incredibly addictive. Rocket League is incredibly competitive. If I would have to compare the gameplay to another game, I would only be able to choose Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, which is the prequel to Rocket League, made by the same developer. I strongly recommend to buy this game even if you don't like sports games as Rocket League feels way different compared to FIFA or PES. In my opinion Rocket League is definitely worth the money.

    I found 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 to be the "easiest" mode because I am quite skilled by now and in 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 matches a lot of times, your own team mates are your worst enemies, by "crossing" the ball in front of your own goal and things alike. Servers, need to be mentioned, are pretty stable and games are found quickly in typical gaming hours (not 06:40 am).

    What makes this game feel so great? The outstanding atmosphere is to be mentioned first, nice stadiums in day/afternoon/night light, customizable cars and car types which differ each but are perfectly balanced in strengths and weaknesses. Also while the game is UNREALISTIC, it's PLAUSIBLE. The way, the ball is moving after impact is predictable. Even though you hit the ball with a CAR it's more plausible than some strikes in FIFA. Props to the devs for that.

    I recommend playing with a game pad, although you can play it with a regular keyboard. Steering on a gamepad feels very precisely and compact.

There is no wizards, orcs, elfs or any other anoying things, so you are definatly able to focus on hitting the ball with your car. I could go on for hours.

    Simple to learn, yet difficult to master does not even begin to explain what a master can and will be able to do with a solid teammate in Rocket League.

    Pros
    +Simple, hectic fun games of soccer with RC cars!
    +The controls are really easy to get used to but actually take a while to master, making the game deep.
    +Online works like a dream with the options of 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4
    +There is a great sense of teamwork and strategy in this game. If you miss the ball terribly, you will pay the price.
    +The graphics are very simple, but very clean-looking.
    +THE EXPLOSION EVERYTIME A GOAL IS SCORED. Nothing is more satisfying than scoring a goal and seeing all other RC cars fly across the arena.

    Cons
    -Not many other modes
    -May be too simple for some

    This game is for people who
    +love soccer
    +love very competitive, hectic online experiences
    +who have PlayStation Plus
    +like very simple, pick up and play games
    +like to have fun

    This game is NOT for people who
    -are fun-suckers
    -like RC Helicopters more

    The score I give is based on my experience on the game and the ratio of how much I had fun to how much the game annoyed me. This game did not annoy me. This reminds me a lot of Resogun, because of its simple yet deep nature and its focus on gameplay and fun. This is the best multiplayer I played this year(followed by Splatoon). This is a must-play. Is this a perfect game? Of course not, however there never was or will be "a perfect game". But my experience with Rocket League was fun perfected.

    Final Score 9.6/10 (Rounded to a 10/10)

    Rocket League aka Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars 2 (SARPBC 2) is essentially a really good re-make of the first SARPBC which was my "go to" game for around 5 years!!!! They have kept true to their original design concept = Awesome.

    I would say it is essentially the same game but with improvements across the board. The graphics are more detailed, the Physics and realism of the game play are true to the original. The Arena's are all similar in shape to the most popular pitch in SARPBC (Urban) but they do vary in weather conditions and have both day & night play. I have heard they are developing additional Arena's of different shapes which is cool.

    The matchmaking system wants to match you to similar skilled players, whereas in the original you could be matched against the best players and get spanked :( or against noobs and spank them = boring.
    So now with similar skilled players there is always the competitive edge that makes you want to do better and have "JUST ONE MORE GAME !!!!"

    There were several different cars in SARPBC with only 4 different paint jobs for each car. Now there are a staggering amount of customisations available from different wheel trims to HATS and even more cars to choose from !!!! So you can have the coolest looking car on the pitch.

    Offline mode previously allowed you some skills training to learn the ropes and this is much the same now with Rocket League. However now you can try your skills against the bots in either Exhibition maps or Season Mode. Having completed 2 seasons (9 weeks & 18 weeks) it is very compelling and challenging. Yes the Bots make silly mistakes but in my experience playing SARPBC so do a lot of players. With the overwhelming success of Rocket League I feel confident that Pysonix will be improving Bot skills making it even more challenging.

    Overall I'm very impressed with Rocket League. In SARPBC it took me a couple of games to grips with the basics, several hours to get to a decent level and having played at least 10 hours a week for 5 years of SARPBC I was still learning how to score that FreeStyle Aerial Goal!!!

    I'm very much looking forward to developing my skills in Rocket League. BRING IT ON !!!!!

    You can play offline 2 vs 2 split screen or even 4 vs 4 online (with 3 of your friends sharing the same tv as you). Simply put, any combination works for this game. and that's a really cool feature especially considering how many devs are leaving the Split screen options behind in favor of pure online experiences.

    Great game, hope they continue to make more improvements on it.

    The online matchmaking is great, with seemingly no lag (rare for Western Australia) and the loading times and quick pace means you could play a number of matches in one short sitting. I love the feeling of knowing you hit the perfect shot, and knowing its your fault if you miss a block. My first goal was an own goal... a few matches later, I scored 3 in a row.

    The game is great as is, with my only complaint being that there is no arena variety. It would have been great to at least include one larger arena for the chaos (4v4) mode. I can't really complain though as the game runs like a dream, has a small file size, gorgeous visuals, and plenty to unlock.. AND IT WAS FREE. So refreshing in today's gaming world. I would have happily paid $50 for the fun I'm having, and will continue to support the developer.

    My biggest hope is that this game really takes off and gets support so we can get a true AAA title that everyone is excited for. The games is great in its simplicity but also has so much room to grow and develop that I'm excited for the day when Rocket League tournaments are widely publicized.

    Don't dismiss Rocket League. It's polished, accessible, and a blast to play.

The frantic sequel to one of the PS3's most handsome diamond in the rough, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered ::sips water:: Battle Cars. For the unfamiliar, it's essentially soccer with cars, SocCAR for the pun inclined. However, for the FUN inclined, try Rocket League, as likability of cars and/or soccer is not a requirement!

    It starts with a very simple premise. Drive your car forward and knock this round, rolling object into the goal. Now try it with someone blocking you. It quickly escalates from there until you are Larry Bird and Michael Jordan filming a "Nothing But Net" commercial. Rocket League is in a genre of its own, it's a brand new sport just waiting to be created. The ESPORT scene would love this game, and it could get viewership ratings along the likes of League and CS:GO.

    Rocket League is a beautiful game with lots of polish and tons to do. It has tutorial or training modes that challenge even the apt of thumbs. There is a single player season mode and exhibition matches with games ranging from 1v1 to 4v4. For the masochists like myself, they even included a 3v1 or 4v1 Unfair mode. However, in multiplayer is where this game really shines. As you play online, you unlock more and more customization options, including vehicles, toppers (hats), engines, paint, etc. All modes and aesthetics aside, the game play and replay value is what really makes this a stellar, must play game.

    The maneuverability of the cars will take a long time to master. The amount of things you can do might seem underwhelming at first, with boost and dodging being the first learned. The handbrake button can turn your car almost in a 180 when tapped, or can allow your car to drift, Tokyo style, when held. Combining those two with the boost and dodge will allow your car to maintain supersonic (max) speed throughout the game. Last but not least, the boost can be used as a jetpack, that can allow the most skilled pilots from Rocket League Academy to shoot and score from all areas of the map, even the ceiling.

    I could rattle on forever about the game, but I think you understand my views and I'm going to go satisfy that Rocket League itch I'm feeling just from writing this little review. 10/10, Must Play.

    The most addictive and entertaining game you will play on a ps4. The games are the perfect length and the action is engaging. Easy game to learn but difficult to master - welcoming to beginners but always room to improve your game. Hands down the most all around FUN game available for the console. The bots are more intelligent and challenging than the previous title.

    Get a couple of friends in a party and play an online 3v3. Expect this to be a big e-sports game.

    Genuinely the most fun I've had in a long long time. The gameplay is simple but fantastic, it's a very well executed game that has already delivered hours of enjoyment, and it'll only get better as more people join the online community.

    Other reviews put it more eloquently than mine, so please refer to those for more in-depth reviews. This game combines arcade cart racing (with boosts and hops) with soccer. It's as simple as that. And it is a blast. The fact the it is free this month on PS+ makes it that much better.

    Did you ever watch the episode of Top Gear when the boys played rugby with hatchbacks? Did you ever want to do that? Play this game immediately. The only thing it is missing is The Stig as a referee.

    A couple years ago, a friend of mine invited me to his place to play what he would call 'Football with Little Cars' ( yes, here in Brazil the word football is used correctly). Well, it didn't take long for me to notice I was already in love with that game, after 5 matches or so.

    That game was Supersonic-Rocket-Powered-Acrobatic-Battle-Cars, the prequel to this game, after a few months,

    That game was Supersonic-Rocket-Powered-Acrobatic-Battle-Cars, the prequel to this game, after a few months, rumors emerged about a possible SRPABC 2, and since then, the hype within me only grew.

    Well, time has come to play the final version of the so-expected game, and I must say, I am not disappointed (and neither should be any fan of the previous title). This is just as fun as video games can get, and one of the best games to play along your fellas in the couch!

    What are you waiting for? It is just $20 on steam/ps4, and if you are a PS Plus user, you get it for free! Stop reading reviews here and go grab it!

    Rocket League is the funnest game I have played in a long time, possibly all time. Online is really were this game excels. However, there are still plenty of offline modes. I would highly recommend this game.

    I don't particularly care for soccer or racing, either in real life or in games. Yet I love Rocket League. The game is very simple (hit the ball into the other team's goal, there are no other rules) and the controls are easy to learn. The driving feels good. It's easy to get started but there's plenty of room to improve your skills, you can do some crazy stuff if you're good enough.

The game is focused on online multiplayer, but the single player is also well developed (exhibition matches and seasons against bots of adjustable difficulty and number). There's a good amount of customization. The soundtrack is great. And it's free if you're a PS+ subscriber.

    If you have a PS4 or a gaming PC, you should absolutely check this game out.

    Rocket League is everything I dreamed the sequel would become. The skill ceiling on this game is enormous. Everyday you will get better and yet there is always something to improve upon. The Icing on the delicious cake is that Psyonix plans to release future maps as free DLC. Much love to them and I'm so glad for their success!

    This game blew me away, been gaming since 25 years and this game just brings me way back to what games used to be, simple to learn but hard to master. With a modern touch, nice graphics, fast matchmaking and tons of customizations. It is truly addictive. I highly recommend it even if you don't like cars or football you will like this game :)

This can be done on the ground or in the air by jumping and using your boost effectively. You have 5 minutes to score more goals than the enemy which makes it a great game to play when you have not so much time.

    The basic controls are quite easy. But you really get this sense of accomplishment when you start using those basic controls to make epic goals, last second saves and give great assists.

    Oh and split screen. Good old fashioned split screen. Awesome.

    This have to be the most complete multiplayer of this generation.

    From the start of the Beta, Rocket League have showed great momentum in becoming one of the best multiplayer experiences on the PS4.

    It is fun to play with friends and with randoms and it delivers some of the most intense moments I have ever experienced in gaming.

    The gameplay is the finest one I've experienced in many many years, and fits perfectly with the personal progress of the player

    The graphics are very good, better than expected to run at solid 60 fps on ps4 and on my GTX 750 ti, they don't move a single fps down

    The multiplayer experience is great, and being able to play up to four players on the same machine is simply amazing.

    All I can say is that this game is a must buy, listed at 19,99$/19,99€ but worth more than most AAAs.

    Finally, I'd like to mention that the dev team makes us (the playerbase) feel like they're really caring about us, they've been commenting everything they've been doing to solve the server problems on the launch, worked 24 hours straight to solve them, further more, they've been answering pretty much every question about anything on the game, if I'm writing this review today, is because they've delivered a product of the finest quality at the lowest price and on the best conditions. The only thing I need to keep playing this for years is that they don't change.

    Happy rocketing

    Probably the most fun you'll have playing your PS4. Such a simple idea(cars+soccer), executed perfectly. There's also a ton of customization goodies for your vehicle and everybody looks truly unique.

    The addiction is real, be careful.

    "The devs are in over their heads. They are trying too hard to be 'good guy dev' and are making too many promise/false advertisements but being drowned in blinded praise because they respond to reddit posts. This game boasts that it is cross-platform. This is technically true but you can not party up with your friends on the opposite platform. I.E. my friend on PS4 can't play with me on PC, this game is only multiplatform in the sense that you can get randomly matched up with someone playing on the other platform -- wow!"

    Rocket League has superb gameplay, perfect controls, beautiful graphics, 60 FPS, tons of customization, cross platform play, season mode for offline and even a replay editor. After I played the beta I was ready to buy it, but i got it for free on PS+. It has everything I wanted and more is coming, some of which will be free DLC.

    Yes, it looks like nothing much, football with cars, fun for 5 minutes. But only after you play it yourself and only after you join the amazing community of Rocket League you will find out it's the best game ever.

    Easily one of my favourite games as of right now. From the crisp bright colours to the clean tight controls, everything about this game feels polished (except for their servers right now hehe). wonderful game overall!

    You can tell the developers actually care. Not only is it a great game but its free on PSN+! I can't wait for them to release some kind of DLC so I can actually support them.

    It's a blast to play and it only gets better as skills improve over time and as the competition ramps up. It's a game that everyone, whether they’re big into sports video games or just can’t seem to get into them, will really enjoy.

    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.
