It is basically Mariokart in VR, AWESOME. So much fun and what I like about it is that it has online multiplayer with bots to make it more exciting so my fiance and I play a lot. And you can make your own sort of cups so it is not just a boring single multilplayer race. It also has several tournaments every day.
I recommend you select the motion controllers to move BUT use the joystick option. That way it is the best of both worlds as you can steer with the joystick, but throw items with your right hand, which is a lot more fun. Otherwise you can just use a regular controller.
This game is lots of fun but not perfect. I love this game, but there are so many little things that could have been much better. The gameplay is amazing and lots of fun, that's the best (and most important) thing about the game. The visuals are okay, but they could be better. When you reset your position it doesn't really seem like you are placed properly in the car. The animations are okay, but not as smooth as they could be. The controls for using both Touch controllers could have been better, and using the joystick doesn't feel the same as an xbox controller. This is just a personal opinion, but the person that just sits there and looks at you is just there for no reason. She does apsolution nothing and I just find her unnecessary. Overall it's a fun game and worth the money. If this game does manage to make it to the Quest, that would be amazing.
Great fun - but not perfect. Is this a good game? Yes Is it worth buying as it stands? Yes Is it 5 star perfect? No
The game is well worth picking up (especially at this reasonable price) and it really does scratch the Kart itch. There is tons of content and it is by far the best Kart game in VR atm (although the competition is not exactly great!). It's great fun to play and has high production values.
It is also a good start to what could be a great game. As others have said - it needs more lengthy and complex tracks. The inspiration is obviously Mario Karts and it does have that Nintendo vibe about it. I hope the devs go and look again at that game and the more complex tracks and varied environments (varied in the way they play). The tracks here at the moment look great, but feel a little flat and too short.
I gave one star more than I should, as I do not want to put anyone off from buying it. It is well worth the purchase - even with these caveats.
As for the whole Quest thing - well done Oculus, one of the reasons I am not buying a Quest is the seeming random curation that keeps this and other *good* games out of the Quest walled-garden. (do the people you pay actually *play* the games?)
Good foundation for a Mario Kart VR game. There is a solid framework to make this game a great one, just keep in mind it is still in "early access".
Loved: - Cartoon style to vehicles, characters, and environments gives a Mario Kart vibe - Supports my PlayStation 2 logitech racing wheel with force feedback (using a racing wheel with my left hand and aiming my weapons with my touch controller is a really fun arcade-like gameplay mechanic) - Very original weapons and powerups, like drinking a soda or closing one eye to aim a bazooka while driving - Lots of replay value with multiple tracks and tons of unlockables -Online cross-platform multiplayer (Thinking about buying a 2nd copy for PSVR)
Disliked: - Tracks are extremely small with extremely sharp hair-pin turns, making it difficult to play with a steering wheel controller and the constant turning made the motion sickness kick-in faster than expected. I would prefer large, wide, and open tracks with longer straight-away sections. This would allow to put more focus on aiming weapons. - I can't figure out how to drift and I have no idea what it looks/feels like. Would be nice to see "air trails" around you along with some tire skidding sounds. - Many weapons feel useless, since they require precision aiming and I often miss. The short range weapons like the hammer require you to be really close to an opponent, and they always seem out of reach. Weapons like the bazooka feel great to use, but they are buried behind too many mediocre ones.
Final thoughts: Overall, this game is pretty good, but it needs better track designs. I would personally love to see a level editor of some sort, with a way to draw out your own tracks and share them with the community. I want to see tracks that are large, beautiful, and easier to navigate. The small tracks currently feel a bit too intense in their current state. On a monitor I'm sure they feel fine, but VR amplifies everything in general. Sorry if I come across too negative, I still like this game overall.
