Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, often called SARPBC, is an exciting video game where you play soccer with cars! It was released for the PlayStation 3 in North America in October 2008. European players got the game in February 2009. This game lets you drive special cars that can jump, flip, and even fly using rockets. Your goal is to hit a giant soccer ball into the opponent's net. It's a unique mix of racing and sports!

How to Play

In SARPBC, players control rocket-powered cars on a field. The main goal is to hit a very large soccer ball into the opposing team's goal. Each goal scores one point for your team.

Game Rules

A typical game lasts for five minutes. The team with the most points when the time runs out wins the match. If the score is tied after five minutes, the game goes into "sudden death" overtime. This means the first team to score a goal wins immediately, and the game ends.

Single-Player Fun

Besides regular matches, the game offers many mini-games and tournaments. These are only for single-player mode. For example, you might be outnumbered by computer opponents. Other challenges include shooting balls at a goal within a time limit. You can also defend your goal from shots fired by a cannon.

Earning Stars

After completing a mini-game or tournament, you can earn up to five stars. The number of stars you get depends on how well you played. Different challenges have different ways to earn more stars.

The Next Game

In March 2011, the game's creators, Psyonix, announced they were working on a new game. It was a sequel to SARPBC. However, it took a long time because they found it hard to get money or find a company to publish it.

Rocket League Arrives

In September 2013, Psyonix shared more details about the new game. They planned a free test version for computers first. This would help them make improvements before releasing it on game consoles. The new game, called Rocket League, was finally released on July 7, 2015. It came out for the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. Later, it was released for other gaming systems too.
