5.0 out of 5 starsSimply the Best Arcadey Game at the Moment

I absolutely LOVE this game, even though I can't stand soccer. I've logged over 40 hours on the Xbox version, and even purchased a separate copy through Steam so I can play with friends on PC (another 60 hours). It is addictive, fun, allows for unlimited creativity with car bodies, paint, and many other zany customizations.
A few dings - there are a lot of unlocks that are behind a pay wall - I am not a fan of this at all. You have to purchase keys which then unlock a box that gives you random loot. I would consider paying for specific items, but I am not going to throw away real money "hoping" to get something I would like.
The game modes are simply fantastic and the game just oozes polish. They have released several new maps since I have purchased it, and send out the updates for free. There are several car options available (paid DLC), but that is purely cosmetic. There are also hockey and basketball modes which are a riot.
Competitive gameplay is definitely a challenge, and super hard to master. There are definitely frustrations with the learning curve, especially for younger kids, around flying and laser-accurate car control. The more you fine tune your car handling and camera angles, the more fun you will have.
I can't recommend this game enough!
