When skating the top of the arena and rushing down to the track, the camera was a bit glitchy when trying to time out my shot at the goal. This would inevitably affect my ability to deliver a solid hit. However, there does need to be some minor tweaks in the camera view category because I found myself struggling to focus on opposing players at times. Roller Champions is an arcade-like experience and that is what I love about it. Therefore, options come into play regarding when to shoot your shot and go for steady points, or grind it out and take your chances by skating another lap and hoping to score more points - similar to NASCAR and deciding whether to take a pit stop or continue on lap after lap. Roller Champion rules are simple, score five points and your team wins. They are more apparent in team play when you pair up with friends and create some tag-team style, bash-brother hits. I believe multiple strategic opportunities exist in this game. You can rocket yourself through the middle of the track and duck, dodge and maneuver your way lap after lap. You can grab the ball and ride the high side, or speed up the walls to gain an advantage. You have the freedom to skate on any area of the derby arena. It’s not clear how deep this goes - as this is only demo gameplay - but numerous strategic opportunities exist right now. The sound effects are good as you can hear your skates clacking on the derby track, and the demo music tracks keep it popping throughout. Expect to get hit from any side, angle and at any time. Once complete, it is derby time, and you are dropped right into the middle of it. When booting up the demo, the initial presentation begins with a tutorial of how the game is played. The player characters have a variety of looks based on their skates, pads, hairstyles and accessories. This is a brand new and original experience with bright colors, good music, and an arcade feel of speed and energy. When looking at this game being presented at E3, I didn’t quite know what to expect. Plain and simple, Roller Champions is new. Here are my first impressions of demo gameplay from Roller Champions. I was extremely excited to play a game that was fresh, new and unlike the standard power sports. I had the pleasure of engaging myself in multiple hours of demo gameplay to test my skills against others in the quest to dominate on skates. Well, in the high-speed nature of this derby there is a bone-crushing impact at any turn. The more laps you complete, the more points you can get on your goal. If you complete one lap and score, then you receive one point. Each match is a three versus three battle and you must possess the ball for one lap before the goal opens up for scoring opportunities. The game takes place in 2029 and this high-tech roller-derby environment can be a speed-demon challenge to complete more laps in order to score more points. Ubisoft brings to us Roller Champions, a roller derby crossed with basketball mixed into a bone-crushing, high-speed, rip-roaring race to score points on a goal.
