    Overall though, this is the same sports gaming masterpiece that it was last year, and is worthy of joining any Xbox One owner's library.

    Rocket League brings to Xbox One the same amount of fun that we enjoyed on PC and PlayStation 4. It doesn't have the cross-play functionality with the two original platforms, but has greater value as you can also get all the 3 DLC packs for the same price.

    Rocket League revealed itself to be a captivating, entertaining and addictive experience, instantly showing Xbox One gamers why it was so successful on other platforms. One of the most satisfying and funny multiplayer games you could play on the platform.

    Rocket League lives up to the hype surrounding it. For Xbox One players who have been envious of PS4 and PC players, your moment is here. Everything works even when it shouldn’t, and the game provides hours of entertainment. Solo it is fun, with friends it is a blast. This is not a title to miss.

    Rocket League has finally arrived on Xbox One. Unfortunately there are no groundbreaking extras in this version. But the game is still very fun to play.

    FUN! FUN! FUN! Hands down, Rocket League is the absolute funnest game I've played in a long time. In the last couple of years, I've lovedFUN! FUN! FUN! Hands down, Rocket League is the absolute funnest game I've played in a long time. In the last couple of years, I've loved games such as Destiny, Halo 4, Gears of War Judgment, The Division, The Witcher and more - all great games with great features (graphics, story, gameplay, multiplayer, etc.) - but none as much fun as Rocket League. I tried Rocket League on Steam over the weekend because it was free-to-play. I ended up buying the PC and XOne versions because it was so much FUN. I highly suggest it. Expand

    Подумалось, а с чего это я ни словом ни словечечком не обмолвился по поводу этой прекрасной, по сути не имеющей аналогов в мире игры? А ведьПодумалось, а с чего это я ни словом ни словечечком не обмолвился по поводу этой прекрасной, по сути не имеющей аналогов в мире игры? А ведь кампания, то-есть чемпионат внутренний супротив компутера пройден с любимой женой не единожды да на последнем уровне сложности! Упущэние! А ведь нынче редкий день у меня/у нас проходит без хотя бы часа онлайновых баталий на колесах. Для тех кто в танке рассказываю - Rocket League это по сути спортивный симулятор несуществующего вида спорта. Ага! Гоняем в футбол на тачках! Тачки как тачки, а вот мячик приличных размеров, дабы в него все же можно было попасть, что в динамике игры оказывается иногда задачей непростой. Прорисовочка, стадионы, физика/механика игры умопомрачительные! Играть можно в легкую хоть вчетвером на одном экране в любых вариациях будь-то друг против друга, команда на команду или против компьютерных ботов. Также помимо мяча аля-футбольного, можно попробовать силы с шайбой и даже погонять в баскетбол, но эти возможности как-то не особо запали в душу. Стоит выделить, что конечно данная игра по большей части нацелена на бои по сети, так как онлайн сражения дают возможности невероятные в плане кастомизации вашего авто: взрывов, декалей, колес и прочего сопутствующего зрелищного барахла, но и конечно уровень соперников несопоставимо более высок, так как боты - ребята весьма предсказуемые и даже на уровне последнем обыгрываются одной левой и соответственно наскучивают достаточно быстро. Я бы конечно не рекомендовал лезть в сеть до тех пор пока вы не освоитесь хорошенько с геймплеем локально, ибо интернет бойцы могут живо из вас выбить всю спесь и напрочь отбить охоту погружения в эту просто бесподобную игру! Между прочим по Rocket League уже проводятся серьезные международные соревнования и уже есть официальные команды у PSG и Barcelona!!! Вот как-то так. Ждем всех дерзких и безбашенных в Rocket League!!! Expand

After a year of broken and unfinished games its aRocket League proves that a smaller developer can accomplish more than AAA publishers. After a year of broken and unfinished games its a breath of fresh air to see Rocket League get ported to the Xbox One and maintain the polish of the PC and PS4 versions. Rocket League scratches the itch I never knew I had, scoring goals while boosting over 100 mph while doing a back flip and now that i scratched it I want more.

    Graphics:
    I was surprised at how good the visuals were when I first started playing. Rocket leagues graphics could be defined in two words, clean and colorful. The environments make you feel like your at a rave on some maps with lights and colors shooting out of both sides of the arena but at the same time it does not distract you, the visuals strike a perfect balance allowing it to wow you but not get in your way as you and your team attempt to score goals or even defend your goal from the enemy team. The car models are well done, they resemble rc cars which can be customized with sick coats of paint and awesome color patterns. The frame rate is steady and never drops which is important because if you stutter in Rocket League it is likely to cost you.

    Sound:
    The sound effects actually impressed as much as the game play does. From boosting across the map with money flying out of my booster which sounds like change flying everywhere to scoring a goal and listening to the sweet explosion as the enemy team goes flying from the shock wave. Rocket League sound helps you feel immersed and entertained in the experience. Music is fantastic, there is about a hour of electronic dance Music recorded which makes customizing your car or waiting to join matches in the title screen a real enjoyment. I wish the music played during matches as well, matches are devoid of any music accept for a faint echo every now and then but its nothing to really be impressed about. There is no voice acting in this game which is fine because there is no real story. Unlike Blood Bowl 2 which has a story mostly told through announcers Rocket League is devoid of this which is not a bad thing. Typically once I hear announcers start to repeat themselves I look for a option to mute them, also there is no story mode so theirs nothing to narrate, no loss in my opinion.

    Gameplay:
    Rocket League game play boils down to guiding a huge explosive ball to the other teams goal in the hope of scoring by making a huge explosion. You can collect yellow power ups which give you a boost to get around quicker and hitting an opposing team member at full boost will destroy their car in a satisfying explosion. Every match win or lose will unlock a new customization reward for your car. From new cars to tires, booster colors, antennas and even hats there is a lot of options to customize here. Xbox One also has an exclusive Halo and Gears of War car to unlock as well. You can play online in normal or ranked in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 matches. There is even an exhibition mode and season mode but unfortunately you cant play those modes co-op which would have made them much more appealing to play. If you are looking for other creative modes unfortunately you wont find it here, just the same mode with different team sizes. Despite the lack of modes I find myself addicted when playing online with a group of friends, there is fun for hours to be had here and constantly being rewarded whether I win or lose keeps me wanting to play to get new things.

    Verdict:
    Rocket League was a game I have been waiting for to come out that I never knew I wanted. Its game play will keep you playing for hours with friends. I wish there was more creative modes here to keep me entertained longer but for the price it is well worth purchasing. I can't wait to see what Rocket League 2 brings to the table or if Psyonix makes a new IP I cant wait to see what they do next. I give Rocket League a 9 out of 10 and give it my personnel rating of Must Own.

    C'est vrai que ça ne coûte que "20 balles" mais est-ce une bonne raison pour s'enticher de ce petit concentré de débilité à l'état pur : duC'est vrai que ça ne coûte que "20 balles" mais est-ce une bonne raison pour s'enticher de ce petit concentré de débilité à l'état pur : du foutchebôle avec des chtites wâtures et un grooos baaallon. Si je veux voir des conneries de ce genre, je regarde les zouaves de Top Gear jouer au foot avec de vraies voitures, au moins on rigole 5 mn puis on passe à autre chose.

    Evidemment, on sent l'influence Nintendaube sous-jacente, Mariol est planqué en embuscade : couleurs criardes fluorescentes, jouabilité à la va-comme-je-te-pousse, moteur physique à la rue qui renvoit le réalisme aux abonnés absents et surtout le caractère ultra-répétitif de chaque match : le jeu d'une grande pauvreté se noie avec ses mécaniques simplistes dans un petit verre d'eau tiède. Quant au multi, tout le monde y fait n'importe quoi, c'est la fête du slip... quand le matchmaking n'est pas simplement à la masse... lui aussi.

    Techniquement, Rocket truc ne vole pas bien haut et s'il parvient à tenir les 60 im/s la plupart du temps, c'est au détriment de l'anti-aliasing... aux abonnés absents lui aussi ! du 1080 sans AA, ça ne sert à rien : on a l'impression de jouer en SVGA. Mais de la part d'un développeur indé, que pouvait-on attendre d'autre ? rien bien sûr. Ce jeu est une belle arnaque !
