Rocket League

Rocket League presents players with a sport that, alas, will probably only ever exist on games consoles (and maybe the odd episode of Top Gear). It’s basically football, the beautiful game, writ large. Except instead of players, you have cars. How’s that for a twist on a tried and tested sport? Using an advanced physics system, the game depends on mass and momentum to lend players an intuitive sense of how to make this frantic game work. The basic controls are pretty simple, but mastering Rocket League takes a sophistication that belies its simplicity. The action is fast, hard and brutal. This boxed release features an all-new season mode that offers players a meaty single-player experience. The core, though, is arguably the fast-paced eight player online mode with a variety of different team sizes and configurations to try out. Local split-screen also is available.
