I think I'm more positive on this one than most because I actually quite enjoy the core mechanics and track design here. Collision handling is terrible though and makes the middle of the pack racing feel like casino, and I wonder if it's Fortnite's fault cause Rocket League doesn't have this problem whatsoever. If epic has balls they'll turn the collisions off entirely and turn Rocket Racing into their version of Trackmania, crank out wilder and trickier courses, but they won't. Still fun, and kids don't know how to drift for shit so you'll be always second or first until at least the gold rank.
All things considered, not a bad racing game. The problem is that the fun varies pretty wildly from track-to-track. The "expert" courses with plenty of obstacles that force you to drive on the walls and ceiling or fly around the course are fantastic because they utilize the Rocket League mechanics that make this racing game unique. Unfortunately, only a handful of courses require that so most the time it's kind of just a generic racing game.
Also, the F2P format could use some work. In paid racing games, there's plenty to chase after as far as car parts, custom stuff for your vehicle, etc. This is little more than a racing minigame and there's no real progression to chase.

Serviceable arcade racer that scratches the itch but loses points for the absence of substantial car collision.
My biggest disappointment with Rocket Racing is that I expected Rocket League on a racing track and this ain't it. Only the car aesthetics carried over and even this is diminshed by the low angle closed up camera.

If it wasn't because of Chocobo GP, this would be the most sauceless racing game I've ever played
Alright, ill say it, i dont like fortnite anymore.
To say that epic games had achieved success with Fortnite back in 2017-2018 wouldve been an complete understatement. This shit took over the world, and for a while it felt like it wasn't trying to be anything it wasn't, it was a bit bare bones sure, but it was an endearing game with a beating heart.
it doesnt feel like that anymore.
It feels like an extension of the fucking Epic Games Store. Where i can purchase random bullshit IP# 55678 and make them shoot other random IP#67431. Originally i was ok with this just being how fortnite was at this point. It wasn't about the gunplay or the building, it was about having a gigantic game with a bunch of different IP running in to each other. Its kinda like smash ultimate, but with the running cohesive thread being simply "they can all shoot each other and dance"
Epic decided that this was not enough, it was time to expand Fortnite into different genres of games! And the response has been! "uhhh.... ok?"
The battle royale mode was originally made to sell people on the co-op PVE mode Save the World, but that clearly didn't end up working out. So why do they think that these will work out any better? People hop onto fortnite to shoot ryu, build battle spiderman, and gangnam style after killing jack skellington, not play a mediocre game that meets the BARE MINIMUM to be considered in the realm of a racing game.
My point being is that epic just needs to understand what they are at this point. They shouldn't be the new fucking roblox, they should just be the funny silly gun game with all your favorite characters!
Lest you worry about how that feeds into capitalistic mindset of video game companies to look at this and see dollar signs waiting to be put in their bank accounts as long as they add peter griffin to their game!
atleast fortnite is one of the better companies doing the whole "grab as much IP as we possibly can!" in terms of how mostly consumer friendly they are and good at listening to their community.
( unlike some companies....AHEM..blizzard....)

genuinely just a very fun racing game put into fortnite that feels polished and is a little addicting sometimes if you're trying to climb the ranked ladder. it doesn't take too long to get used to and is really easy to pick up and play. also a good way to get some levels for the battle pass since you're heavily rewarded for performing well and ranking up. i do think some of the tracks all blend together a bit and it's hard to tell which track you're about to play on unless youve memorized the track names. also maybe by chance this was just my experience with the game but i did find it odd how the random selection of tracks didn't expand until i got into higher ranks, i feel like way more of them should just be playable from the get go no matter what rank you are. i get that some of the tracks are listed as higher difficulty than others but even still i think it would help with variety and getting better by having most if not all the tracks playable when you start playing this mode. im sure in the near future though the track list will greatly expand and there'll be a lot more to pick from no matter the rank. also one other thing that bugged me a little was that load times between races felt a little long especially when each race only lasts about 3 minutes or so and the wait time between each race is like 1 or 1.5 minutes, hopefully something else that gets addressed in future updates to the mode
Peca em o que todos os jogos de corrida pecam, você tá em primeiro até, ou alguém, jogar uma caixa de nitro em você, passar de Bullet Bill por cima de ti, você escorregar na banana, ou como é no caso desse jogo, alguém vir na sua roda dianteira e fazer você dar um 180° (sim, é fácil desse jeito) aí o cara que tá na sua frente ganha um impulso pq vc bateu na traseira dele (por algum motivo, isso da vantagem pra ele) então você bate na parede de frente E MORRE sem motivo, então até você renascer você terminou a corrida em 8° pq você se achou o bomzão do jogo e quis dar um drift pra pegar um boostzinho de velocidade.
Em suma, jogos de corrida não são pra mim, a partir do momento que eu cometo um errozinho eu arruino toda a minha performance, então jogos competitivos em geral não são saudáveis pra mim, mas o pior é que eu me diverti jogando, quero que saia logo mais mapas, pq quando eu sei jogar, eu humilho as crianças de 9 anos que jogam esse game😎

Novamente vou destacar a estranheza de ter que ter baixado Fortnite pra jogar outra coisa.
É uma corridinha legal, não sei o quanto vou jogar, mas me divertiu nas partidas que eu joguei. Seria bem melhor se fosse isolado? Sim, mas ok.
Senti falta de uns poderzinhos pra jogar nos outros tipo mario kart, ou (o melhor jogo de kart) sonic all stars racing transformed.

fun at first with some fun tracks, good controls, great drifting and boosting and flipping, but god it gets disheartening later on by the time you reach gold or diamond rank (because ranked mode is really the only game mode) when you spend the entire race being bumped by 50 other cars aggressively targeting you and by the time you actually do make it to first, the game will just consistently make you crash on literally nothing, i mean flat road will just sometimes kill you, its busted. and then even though you finished the race literally in front of the rick sanchez like 30 feet behind you, he'll still place ahead of you because ping or some shit.
if this game was more balanced and actually functioned, i can see this as being one of the best racing games out there, but as is... no

Genuinely one of the most fun racing games I've played in a while. I like rocket league's driving style, but I prefer racing games over sports games. And I kinda hoped we would get a racing mode for the game. And this is it!
I love the controls, the addition of flying, air dodges, wall and ceiling driving and the very polished controls make it an extremely fun time. It's fast, it controls wonderfully and the tracks are well designed.
The track design is a little repetitive though, and I hope we get more track themes other than desert and castle. But it's a good start. Especially since it seems like we're getting a track builder.
It has some bugs, I once got trapped under the road, and I once died out of nowhere. But those will likely be fixed. And I feel like at it's core, it's one of the most fun racing games I've played since CTR: Nitro Fueled
