    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.

    The simplistic design of the game makes it extremely easy to pick up and play for newcomers, while at the same time allowing players to develop their skill and understanding of the game through practice.

    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 is simple in concept - it's basically soccer with cars - yet it works brilliantly as a multiplayer game. It's incredibly easy to pick up as a beginner, but learning the intricacies of its controls takes many, many hours. And doing so is a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience.

    Relatively very minor gripes aside, Rocket League is a genuinely new type of game that provides addictive, enjoyable, skill-based fun that doesn't prevent new players from joining the fray and which never threatens to become dull. Even folks who aren't necessarily excited by football, sports in general, or cars will find something to love here and for many, it'll become their new favourite pastime. This is absolutely superb and will keep you entertained for many, many hours.

    Sure, it’s a little late to the party, but it’s here now and it’s as undeniably fantastic as one might have hoped. Good in single player, great online and absolutely fantastic when played locally with friends, Rocket League goes down as one of the greatest sports games of the past few years and arguably the best multiplayer game of the generation.

    Rocket League transcends its chaotic mishmash of sports, racing and fighting to create an elegant and endlessly competitive game for the ages.

    One of the best multiplayer games available today. Rocket League is a fantastically fun, frenetic game and you'd be hard pushed to find a better arcade-style football game anywhere else.

    A superb multiplayer game that takes a very simple premise and crafts from it one of the best competitive arcade games in years.

    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.

    The same excellent game that conquered us a few months ago but with more content and fewer rivals online (due its lack of cross platform gaming).

    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.

    Even though we still wish for a spectacle mode or more ways to play, Rocket League on Xbox One maintains the same addictive, easy to understand gameplay. Low price, small size and tons of contents make this a perfect opportunity to catch up if you haven't tried this awesome game.

    Rocket League brings an extravagant amount of thrill to the couch for you and your friends to relish in a great online experience. It sports a beautifully balanced car list with full customization for each.

    It's immediately and obviously clear why Rocket League has enjoyed the success it has on PC and PS4. It's just a fun game. Even though tournaments are commonplace, it doesn't ever feel like it's taking itself too seriously. Enjoying yourself is front and center, and it's a refreshing change of pace to many other titles available today.

    Though it’s missing cross-platform play here, its totally deserved success to-date ensures that matchmaking lobbies are still filled with players.

    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.

I don't know how to describe how good it feels to keep getting better at this game. You start of flailing around like a crazy person...you are well aware of your inability to play well but you still have such a great time. Over time you'll find yourself making contact easier and controlling the ball like you never imagined. The explosion after each successful goal is exhilarating, but it's still just as fun to laugh when things don't go as planned. Full Review »
