"For younger gamers (and their parents), Rocket Arena is a decent entry in the team-based shooter genre. It won&s;t hold much lasting appeal to older players, but kids will likely have fun for a while."

"Rocket Arena doesn&s;t have the most inspired and original characters or settings, but it does have 10 well-designed characters, three fun modes and solid gameplay that keeps you hooked throughout your frantic games. It&s;s fun for fun, and many times …"

"Rocket Arena is a dull misfire that fails to compare even to EA&s;s own Garden Warfare franchise. A few original ideas are lost behind a forgettable art style, small maps and questionable gameplay mechanics."
