I didn't really expect much of this game when I saw it at Kickoff - I didn't think it would be one I particularly loved or hated. But after two regionals so far, I can say I've been pleasantly surprised. Rebound Rumble is awesome, the GDC did a great job with it. It's fun to watch, and easy for new people to follow. Most teams can score in at least one of the baskets, and most teams are attempting the bridges as well. I do have a few criticisms of it though - I don't like that foul point add points to the opposing alliance score this year, because it is artificially inflating scores. I also think the Kinect could have been worked into the game better - right now it really doesn't add any value or functionality to hybrid mode, so there's no incentive for teams to use it. Overall, a great game though.
