One of the best games of 2015/2016 period.. if you think it will be boring, or silly.. You are wrong just like I was. Buy it!

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016

Buy this game. I, and others, had a typical view as gamers that this would be a silly, boring, game. It's not. In fact it's becoming the most popular game for a dozen or so of my friends to play online together lately.

It IS fun,.. It takes minutes to get used to.. you can literally jump right in and get going. It immediately draws you into a competitive spirit making saves on goal,.. scoring goals,.. centering/crossing the ball.. blowing up other cars if you are in the mood and so on. This idea of using Cars to hit a large soccer ball is a definite HIT.

It's great fun even without any online friends to join in as you can click play and get into a game immediately with other players -- you can play against all AI (bots) if you wish to do so.

It has 1 verse 1 -- 2 verse 2 -- 3 verse 3 -- and 4 verse 4 gameplay.

I highly recommend PC players to use an Xbox 360 Controller. Really enhances gameplay over keyboard, that said keyboard play is definitely possible if that is your preference or you don't want to put down the $25 for an XBOX 360 controller (The best overall controller still).

Just put the money down. It goes on sale every once in a while for $13.99 -- but at the $19.99 price tag it's still likely a game you will get more enjoyment and playtime out of than a ton of $49-$99 games.

Oh, and the game is lightweight -- meaning it doesn't require any great graphics card.. in fact it will play off your CPU's graphic processor (aka: No video / graphics card) just fine. There really isn't any computer built in the last 7-8 years that won't play this game very , very well.

Good gift for friends, family, kids, adults, anyone.

This download is for PC (It's a STEAM Key) -- Steam is free if you've never used it.. just make an account. There is also an option to pick the Console version (make sure you pick the one you need).

The game is kind of fun but there's no intermediate game level and there's no way to play online with people who are just learning with you. So you can spend your whole life playing the easy bot or you can ask for a refund. The tools to develop your playing capabilities are non existent and honest to god the physics in this game are s*** sometimes. Like when you drive on the ceiling without any way to actually drop down and continue playing. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless the company starts to give a s***.

The mostly realistic physics is so-o-o satisfying

It's rocket-powered cars playing soccer with a giant ball.
Also there are no rules that interrupt play (like penalty and offside calls), so it's better than real soccer in that way too!

The only small downside is the strange physics in some small situations. Mostly that "dodging" (flipping/rolling, essentially the cars' version of kicking) is only 2-D (can't be done upward or downward, just on the horizontal plane).

Cross-platform play and splitscreen co-op?!

I'm a fan.

I don't like car games.
I don't like sports games.

So I was reluctant when I was at a friend's house and they put this game in. Soon, I was on the edge of my seat and adrenaline was pumping. Although the controls are simple, I found myself paling in contrast to my friend's abilities. How amazed I was when he informed me of the span of skill this game affords! He was recently beat by a team only driving backwards and upside down. There are opponents who can fly across the field to bicycle kick the ball into the goal. And here I am trying to intuit when to use my boost so I don't speed past the ball.

If you're a perfectionist, you might not want to play this game. If you have to always "be the very best, the best that ever was," you might be frustrated and disappointed when you hit online play. But if you're looking to have a fun time with friends, or if your willing to practice and think creatively about the simple controls, you may just be surprised how much fun this game can turn out to be.

Plus, they'll be offering cross-platform play later this spring (2016)!

This is a Steam code. The game recommends using a controller... I use keyboard and mouse with no lost functionality.

It offers online play, local play, splitscreen co-op, car customization, DLCs, achievements, and intense self-deprecation.

Deceptively deep, Chaotic Co-op, Maddening multiplayer, Frustrating F'ing FUN!

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016

Rocket-League is a truly Fun game designed for TEAMWORK, & among THE best approximations of Soccer (Football to the world). It just happens to be played by teams of Cars & trucks -It really helps to learn w/ friends & practice EVERY tutorial (they will help). It may seem a small, simple game after learning some basics, BUT half the game is above the ground. Learning 'air game' takes serious patience, is rewarded every time you score above opponents heads. <Multiple options> Couch co-op, online Multiplayer (against bots OR humans), many custom camera adjustments & visual decorations galore. The matchmaking system can vary, though often connects player skill levels within the same universe. This PC version controls pretty well; my main complaint is NEEDING a mouse when inviting team-members (though is more the fault of Steam interface). Many generous users, guides & tutorials online help teach the deeper strategy, tips and tricks (well worth looking up)

Frustratingly Addictive!

I kept putting this game off to the side since it first came out since I'm not a fan of car/race or sports games. This game then showed up on Steam as free to play for a weekend and offered at a discount price, so I decided to give it a try. I became addicted to this game the entire weekend! It's a frustratingly fun addictive game to play even if you're not into cars and sports! I was so addicted to the game that I forgot to purchase the game during the weekend sale. Luckily, my addiction led me to Amazon and I found the game offered at the same discounted price!

For activating the game on your PC via Steam, go to the top left corner of the Steam window to Games > Activate A Product on Steam. Type in the code given after you purchase on Amazon.

Great game, convenient product.

Bought the code to give to a friend, code worked great, we played together the same night. As far as the game goes, rocket league is a fantastic game for all kinds of players. I personally am not a huge fan of either racing games or sports games, and that didn't stop this game from quickly becoming my favorite casual and competitive multiplayer game (replacing great games like Counter Strike GO, and Smite). The game is simple if you want it to simple- you can play bot matches or casual matches, and you can keep your mechanics restricted to hitting the ball around, shooting, easy goalkeeping. Etc, and matchmaking will probably take care of you. Or you can dive into the deep and difficult mechanics like powershots, carrying, aerials, air dribbling, half turns, and so much more. There are great training resources, lots of customization options from cosmetics to camera settings, and the community is generally nice.

I have spent a huge amount of time in this game, which i have had for the past month and a half, and it is not anywhere near boring yet! Definitely my favorite "sports" game to date.
Pros:
-Well optimized so I can run it on my laptop with decent settings
-Flawless physics
-Amazing graphics
-Client handles lag well
-Easy controller mapping
-Full graphical settings
-Plenty of game modes
-Lots of cars and cosmetics
-Tons more, but I don't want to make this too long

Cons:
-Matchmaking system needs working on

All in all I find Rocket League to be the most satisfying and most rage inducing game I have owned. And by the way, if you don't have a controller, please, PLEASE get one. It increases your accuracy tremendously. When I got a controller for my pc I instantly got better at the game once I got used to using the controller.
