I highly recommend #IDARB, and this comes from someone that doesn’t play sports games, yet I knew the moment I yelled at my TV during a slow motion instant replay victory, this was special.
IDARB throws a lot of goof spaghetti at the wall, and a shocking amount of it sticks. But its absurdity can, when cranked up to 11, distract from the real joy of the game — its satisfying mechanics and miles-deep strategy.

This game is all about the online multiplayer. It has to be the most addictive game I have ever played. There are some matchmaking issues but after one or two tries you find a match. Fast fun simple gameplay makes this a treat. I play with hashbombs off as I feel they detract from the game. This game also has online guest support so you can play up to 4v4 with a team of friends on your sofa.

#IDARB starts as a leisurely game of basketball/soccer/whatever you want to call it and it could very well stay that way, or it could become a fountain of chaos with random elements thrown in from all sides.
As good as #IDARB is, it’s going to need a community of players and fans to get the most out of it.
The next stop for the e-sports' train, developed with the help of the community and thought with the online world as engine for the experience. If you are a solo player, run away from this game as fast as hell.
While #IDARB has an undeniable spark of ingenuity and humour to it, it doesn’t quite have the depth and variety of games of its kind like Super Smash Bros. It’s #IDARB’s simplicity that holds it back, but it is also this quality that makes it so refreshing to pick up and play.
It's much like Twitter itself - raucous and ridiculous, funny but infuriating. [Apr 2015, p.122]
Fast, hectic, and loads of fun, this game is by far the best that ID@Xbox has offered up so far. The concept behind the game, asking the internet for help, and building the game from there is a stroke of genius. If you've got a smattering of followers on Twitch or Twitter the in-game "Hashbombs" add a whole new angle of social interaction never before seen in an Xbox game. Couple that with the fact that, as of this writing, it's absolutely FREE, there is very little that this game leaves to desire.

#IDARB is a great overall game. It has nice textures and very amusing gameplay, BUT, and this is a big BUT, the online matchmaking FAILS morbidly. When you eventually find a game you either time out joining, or when you start playing it is so laggy and slow motion it makes you want to throw the controller at the screen.

A chaotic and fast-paced multiplayer sports game that's best played with as many people as possible. Often the shear amount of craziness makes the game a hectic blast. Yet even among all the chaos is a solid, very technical game. You're not going to win without skill online.
Like all good competitive games mastering it is going to take some time and maybe some good partners. The competition is real and the social features are excellently included. Tournaments are a regular occurrence and the interaction with Twitter and Twitch is something that helps being it to life. However that may mean seeing some inappropriate Tweets at the bottom of your screen. The community is far from mature.
However for all of the multiplayer madness this title offers it's not one I really feel compelled to get competitive with. For me the online multiplayer goes largely untouched. However I do feel that it's a great part game to break out the extra controllers for. Getting together and playing this with a group of friends is a blast whether you're competing or just watching. Solo play is an option due to a single-player story mode, but it's brief and honestly this isn't a game you're meant to play by yourself.
It's a crazy game that is at it's best when played with others. So unless the online multiplayer grabs you this is one that will probably only get played when you've got friends nearby. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
I give the game a 7.9/10.

For free it is definitely worth the add, but for the regular price it would get a little stale after a while for me. Having 8 people running around on one screen is something that is hard to beat though. All Xbox one owners should scoop this game up while it is free. It's a game that you will definitely thrown on every once in a while for some wild fast paced action. Not a huge fan of some of the mechanics but overall, it is fun to play every once and a while.

Summary #IDARB started as a picture of red box. Then more happened. It's a constantly-evolving, crowd-sourced, minimalist game mechanic sketchbook.
