Rocket League REVIEW

Rocket League is a one-of-a-kind game. It doesn't copy any other game, and this is what gives it such a refreshing and enjoyable feel when playing. For those who don't know, Rocket League is a game which, in its simplest form, is a football match, where the players are cars. The matches range from 1v1 to 4v4, and there are online and offline game modes, all of which are greatly enjoyable. This is a game that is very difficult to get bored of and as a result very difficult to stop playing; I quickly became obsessed within a day of trying it for the first time. No game is ever the same; in a standard online scenario, you are teamed up with two complete strangers, and pitted against an opposition team, and the rules are very much the same as football - score more goals, and you win. In a gaming world where the likes of FIFA and PES are becoming 'samey' year in year out, it is exciting to play a game which takes the simple concept of a 'football game' and turbo-boosts it on to a whole new level.

It's a great feeling when you score a goal in Rocket League

There is something incredibly satisfying about using rockets on your car to burst towards the huge football at speed, and then launch a double-front-flip shot with your car which causes the ball to fly into the net. Scoring goals is far from an easy matter in this game; teams rely on tactics, attacking, defending, as with an ordinary game of football. This makes it all the more adrenaline-pumping when you do score, and even an 'assist' or 'centre ball' are treated with great appreciation. As for the defending, a stunning goal-line save or clearance can be cheered just as much as scoring a goal, as every effort to get your team the victory gives you a rewarding feeling. 

Defending is just as crucial to get your team the win

There are many aspects outside of the stunning gameplay which make Rocket League unique and great. There is a 'quickchat' in every game you enter online; this gives you options to send messages using the d-pad on the controller. It leads to inevitable cries of 'Nice shot!' after every goal and the inevitable 'Thanks!' in reply. There are a few options and these enhance the experience of playing with strangers and make you feel like you're sharing in an immersive experience with them. Above all however, has to be the incredible customisation options within Rocket League. There are hundreds of combinations to customise and design your car with, just two of these such options are shown in the pictures at the end of review. An array of car models, colours, paints, hats, wheels, antennas, and boost graphics are on offer to grant the player full control over the car they play with in online and offline games. Not only this, but the only way to unlock new and more exciting customisation options is to play games, as you are rewarded with one after most games you play.

Rocket League has fast become one of my favourite games and every aspect has so much to offer to a player. This game has appeal for all ages, and all types of gamer, whether you like traditional football games or not, as Rocket League brings something fresh, new and exciting to the world of sporting games.

Definitely recommended!
