    this is a very polished game that promises exactly what it delivers. It is soccer with cars. What's not to love. With an impressive amount of customization and near perfect controls this is an excellent online game.

My one and only gripe with the game is that I wish you could buy items straight up and not waste your money gambling on a box that has a 1% chance of giving you something you'll actually like. But other than that, awesome game. Expand

    I just want to say that Meta should remove reviews based off of things like the servers being down. Every negative review of this game sites an issue like that.

We live in an age where games get released sometimes a little bit earlier than they should be but that's what updates are for. When I log into PSN and it's down for maintenance than I use that as a reason to play my One or my Wii U. If the servers in RL are down then I play an AR challenge in Arkham Knight. 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've had a good think about this and I think this may be my favourite game of all time, on any system. I mean, I've had it over 2 years now and I'm still addicted to it, as are my mates who I play it with. Everyone's seen it by now so no point breaking down the score.

    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.

    Even for people like me who don't normally play sports, or racing games, this is a perfect combination of both. Football with little cars basically, but it's just FUN. Pure joy from the most important thing in games - the actual gameplay. It's fluid, well-produced, still entertaining even after months of playing... I love Rocket League. 9/10

    Rocket League is a fun game to play with friends. My best friend described it best: "an emotional rollercoaster at every turn." It's a game with depth and longevity, which will save its sometimes shallow gameplay.

    A exceedingly fun game with a great amount of customization. The game could use a few more games modes instead of just the one but it till serves to be fun enough. I have had connection issues online on the PS4 but not on the PC version. Worth a pick up but more content should be added so it doesn't become stale soon.

    I'm going to be honest here and say that I thought this game would be crap, but considering it was free on PS+ I thought that I might as well give it a try and boy am I glad I did.

It takes a lot of skill and practice and if you have buddies who also play, the matches are really fun and challenging. The aesthetics are also very nice and people can definitely have their own style on their cars.

All vehicles have the same speed/handling and the only thing really setting them apart is there hit boxes, witch can make a big different with a game build around physics, The physics in the game are great you feel like you accomplish something when you send your car flying through the air using rocket boosts or launch the ball from your net to theirs.The ridiculousness of Rocket League is what makes it so fun, so many split second discussions and mistakes happen within seconds of each other in online matches and some become hilariously funny to watch unfold. There is also a Season mode witch is closer to a story mode type mode you'd find in FIFA or NHL games, but is great for practicing and getting the hang of this one of a kind game. The addition on Split Screen is also amazing, far to many games now a days are leaving out that option all together and Rocket League gives you the option to play with 4 people on one screen. Rocket League has 2v2s, 3v3s,4v4s and even 1v1s to play around in, 4v4s feel very hectic but are extremely fun, where the 2v2/3v3 feel bit more serious and playable 1v1 is fun for you and a friend but can feel quite slow at times. Anyone with a PS4 with PlayStation Plus NEEDS to download this game seeing it's free for the month of July it's something you will not regret and even if your on PC the $20 price tag isn't to bad for a game this additively fun Expand

    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.

    It could be a bit more diversified - I would love some power-ups or even weapons. Maybe some grease spots or something. Also the ball sometimes acts really unnaturaly (it hits the corner and hangs in ther for god knows how long), and the camera is actually not really helping to see what is

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Such a simple game where you play as a RC Car that plays soccer with a bigger sphere but be careful there are a**hats on your team that bump into you, even when you are not the enemy its okay to bump into other players if there on the enemy team not if they are in your team.

    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!

    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.

More than a year after launch the game is still supported by the developer and they have added a new basketball-themed mode. I have played the standard tournament mode vs the CPU which was easy, but the real fun is the multiplayer against people, where crazy goals and impressive saves are the name of the game.

But mostly it's just unfair and not fun anymore . Idk if anyone else has this issue but rocket league might come at an end for me. Expand

    A simple but strange sounding concept but the gameplay is really fun. The PS4 needs more couch coop games like this and it is one that frequently requested by friends. The game is fun, rewarding and difficult to master. This game has little variety and new game modes, yet lots of hours have been spent in this game.

    A classic, fun and simple game with good couch coop but is limited in

    A classic, fun and simple game with good couch coop but is limited in scope that would earn it a higher score.

    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!

    The game and its split screen feature makes us gather in front of TV and play like old days. Colorful UI, challenging online competitors, affordable add-ons like Hot Wheels cars. I like this game.

    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.

    Rocket League is an extremely well designed and presented game, a veritable feast for the senses at times, and an undeniably addictive experience.
