Rocket League

Like many parents, I'm pretty fed up with how video games just retread the same ideas endlessly and rely heavily on violence. I am always seeking something that offers more. Rocket League is essentially soccer football with cars. Doesn't sound 'new', but the idea really works! Teams of 2 or 3 players are contained within a field much like a giant hockey rink, where the huge ball can't go out of bounds. Players can manipulate the cars (jump, dodge, flip) as well as rocket them (literallly) around the field. The result is an exhilarating game to both play and watch. The program has extensive training grounds to get you started, and then the league matches you up with players of similar ability for games. For that reason I've ranks it 'easy to play' but it's a very demanding game and some skill levels are incredible to watch. The graphics are amazing, and rich replay abilities make it a real pleasure just to spectate. I'm a horrible player, but have had hours of enjoyment 'coaching' my son on tactics, etc. The teams are assigned by the system based on play ability, so you are mostly playing with people you don't know. They've made good decisions on online chat (it's restricted to the actual players, and tends to have pre-set messages that keep chatter on task and positive). There are also nice features to allow you to keep on playing with team mates. There's the occasional spoil sport and foul language in the chats, but overall it is an extremely supportive team environment. Probably the most conciliatory I've seen online. I've said this is good for 8 and up. I suspect most players are much older; but the league can accommodate a wide variety of player ability. In terms of violence, I'll mention that you _can_ blow up other cars if you have a head on collision. But for the most part, it's no more violent than a real soccer match -- a lot of bumping and jostling for the ball. I highly recommend it.

BUY IT.

Rocket League is a fun game that is best played with friends. You drive around in a car of your selection (all cars have the same stats, top speed, accelerating etc.), customize it to your liking (colour, hats, boost colour) and play soccer. Matches last up to 5 minutes, with a Sudden Death round if there is a tie at the end of regulations. Sudden Death is simply the team who shoots the next goal wins. You can perform various tricks with your car and use the boost engine to gain some additional speed. There is a nice tutorial mode for newcomers, but the best way of learning the game is really to play in a team with your friends! There is something parents need to aware of. Since this game is best played on the internet, there's gonna be a lot of people who use inappropriate language or straight up try to bully other players. But honestly, that's the internet for you. Parents should know by now how the internet is. All in all, it's a fun game, which you can easily play with your kids. Though I do recommend playing with friends and/or family, when you plan to play with some younger audiences (3 to 10 years old). Again ladies and gentleman, it's the internet.

This game is marketed as a no nonsense soccer car game, but is much more. Your kid will put in THOUSANDS OF HOURS to even scrape the surface level of becoming good at the game, and that’s just the beginning. As an EA/Epic Games title they suck your wallet dry at ever corner. Run away for these companies! (As someone who grew up on these games and put in these hours your I know from experience that even good kids waste their time on this garbage). They add music packs as well that pander as well.

Rocket League Is Fun But I Hate It When My Child Plays With Strangers

Rocket league is a fun game. It is just a game where you play football (soccer) but you’re a car. Kids(and adults) will have no problem playing this game.

Regarding the Nintendo Switch version of this game played with an Epic account, the concept of finite time seasons makes the child anxious to earn experience points (XP) in a certain time frame. This has contributed to my child’s anxiety and obsession with the game and is unhealthy. The game itself is largely fine otherwise. There is some consumerism like some of the rewards in the game you can buy things like a Honda Civic in last season. I’m strongly considering banning this game from our house.

I think its a decent game. But there are a few things i hate and i think cyonix needs to fix. One, They need to fix skill baced mach making because i keep getting like gold players in a diamond treny. Or when they need to make it for only diamonds. Another thing is they need to fix the ban time when you leave a terny to like a week because people just leave and dost even care so its makes it a 2v3 and thats not fare. Cyonix please fix yor game.

They have so much fun playing the game, even when I tried it, IT WAS SO FUN!
