Rocket Rumble

Rocket Rumble is a race-and-rumble party game that straps jetpacks to your favorite pets and sets them loose in same-screen multiplayer for up to four masters of armchair athleticism. Players will compete to take the lead – and the high score – using every trick in their stellar stockpile. Players can collect powerful items, boost into their opponents, and generally try to knock them off the track. Just remember: getting first place doesn't necessarily make you a winner. In a critter competition with so much happening at once, points are the real crown – so do whatever it takes to earn as many as you can!

To ratchet up the tension (and avoid the tiny windows that split-screen can bring), every Rocket Rumble rival will be on-screen at once – unless a player can force them to trail behind, moving them off the screen! All missing players will reappear at the next checkpoint, though they'll have some making up to do if they want their points total to come out on top. Rumble with friends and family at home or jump right into the fun with online matches! With tons of items and powerups you'll always be on your toes, and single screen matches ensure you never miss out on any of the action!
