A very enjoyable and realistic batting challenge for any cricket fan with more features being added all the time. The game makes use of the HTC Vive's hand held controllers to put a realistic bat in your hands so you feel like you're actually batting, rather than playing a computer game with a traditional controller.

Played this game after playing iB cricket and Cricket club VR. The developer seriously needs to fix some basic issues. Basic customization is not available. It's the same bowler who keps bowling in all formats. Absolute waste of money. Watch my review before buying the game. https://youtu.be/tfY0UGa4Arc1 found this helpful
Overall, pretty awful tbh. You don't seem to be able to adjust the position of the bat relative to your controller, and the bowling speed is far too high, even on slow. Would recommend cricket club vr instead.1 found this helpful
Absolute garbage physics . Ball will sail over the boundary and will only be given four runs, balls will rebound off the boundary back to the bowler to be awarded 1 run. Every bowler runs off a spinners run-up. Fast bowlers are too fast, you can only hit them if you just hold your bat down in front of the stumps the whole time. Bowlers will bowl far wide of the wicket ball after ball with no wides called. Sometimes, the ball will go missing and the fieldsmen will start freaking out . It's a pity as there is a lot of content, it's just a shame as the core gameplay is absolute rubbish. I'd recommend Cricket Club over this.1 found this helpful
Probably the worst VR cricket game out there that I have tried.
Love this game. Can play it for hours. (In VR world, 15 mins can be counted as hour :P) Very believable physics, the games are challenging and lot of different scenarios to choose from. DEVELOPERS, great job ! Just 1 suggestion. The holding position of the bat is too high. Ideally I hold the bat close to the blade and not on top of handle of bat. Give an option to position the controller such that, It feels like I am holding it in the middle or lower part of the handle. Thanks !
Just a really enjoyable batting experience with multiple game modes. Bat/ball physics are good. Works ok with HMD’s with inside-out tracking, but would be easier with lighthouse tracking. Only downside is the graphics and animations look like from a 5-10 year old mobile game. EDIT: I won't change my old review... but go play iB Cricket instead, it is miles better than this in all aspects.
