Hot Runback - VR Runner

3.2 out of 10 Good idea, just gets boring quickly due to lack of variety and the basic challenge as you run along an endless and uninteresting street with the same few obstacles forever until you run into one of them. The locomotion method is well done, it tracks head movement bob so as you jog on the spot it converts this into movement which feels pretty good. It has fitness credentials and I certainly felt the benefit. It's cheap and I do factor this into my reviews. I would add this to my fitness VR collection had the pure dullness of the game and one go novelty not mean it will be forgotten and never played again. Refunding, it's cheap indie VR bundle fodder, so I expect it'll turn up for pennies very soon.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/MFRtiOGC0AY Is this a good game? Not really. Am I still recommending it? Yeah. Why? Well, it's actually a good workout in VR. It's not perfect, but it is one of the better workout regimens in VR if you're actually interested in getting fit. You may want to mute the game and listen to your own music though (the in-game music track repeats itself). In this game, you will need to actually jog (you can do a light jog or you can run as fast as possible), jump, throw, and dodge side to side. You will get a good sweat going after 10-30 minutes of doing this depending on your fitness level. You basically dodge the parked cars, jump over the hurdles, and throw the football to either change the light to green at intersections or to get rid of cops blocking your path (you can dodge instead of throwing though). I do wish the parked cars were actually moving cars so that the dodging left to right were more interesting. However, as is, there isn't much variety. You'll be seeing the same scene throughout the game. It really doesn't get more difficult as you go along. Alt…

Really like this game. Actually gives a hint of the real feeling of wearing a helmet while trundling down the field. One major caution, my 6' x 6' space is not really big enough to play safely. I am a bigger guy (Lineman sized) so YMMV. Looking forward to trying again in a larger playspace.

It ain't crap :) Ps. Don't play the Tute, go straight into the game. It's more intuitive. Make sure you know your playing area, and keep it clear, 'cos you'll be moving side to side while running. Pps. Happy New Year!

I like how it looks like you are actually looking through a helpmet. you do need a big space and my sister acidently hit a wall even with my large play area. its the same principle of the wii running game where all you had to do is pump your arms with the wii controllers to run. In this game its your headset bobing up and down that triggers the running. Its an alright game but I think it be great if I played in while on the treadmill or something. (tho that might be dangerous XD
