Review
Sports Gamers Online reviewed Rocket League in the early days of our website. If you still haven’t checked the game out yet, you can find our really OLD review of Psyonix soccer driving game here.
“All in all this game is a great package for the cost and if you like competitive sports games, this is right up your alley. While there have been some minor issues with the servers and the graphics and sounds are nothing to write home about, the gameplay more than makes up for any shortcomings this game may have.”
