Music Inside: A VR Rhythm Game

+Somewhat fun beat game -Expensive -Lackluster Experience -Drum simulator where beat is off a little -Better alternatives 2/5 There are much better VR Rhythm games out there. This one is quite lackluster in many areas especially when compared to other VR titles of the same type. It's a bland Rockband Drummer simulator, the drums are not always Synced up with the music, the backgrounds are quite boring, the delivery method for hitting the drums isn't as good as it could be. I think it would be 100% better if they'd make it a "real" drumset (Or something like Into the Rythm VR), Change up the delivery method, and allow the background/scenery be more than just some techno-y place (maybe workshop support so people can make their own). For example a garage, auditorium, someplace you'd actually be playing drums in addition to the fantasy/techno-y places.

Warning: Game appears to be abandoned by devs. The last update was over a year ago. I picked up this game on sale for about $2 and while it is underdeveloped I do think it is worth grabbing, just not at full price. It's a somewhat original take on the VR rhythm game formula and it mostly plays pretty well. Major considerations: The game can play pretty much every song in my music library and I can even play them with friends who don't own those songs themselves. However, if you play a song from your own music library in multiplayer will have to wait for them to download the file from you every time you want to play it even if they do own it and have their own copy. The game does generate custom beat maps for your own music and there will be moments where can see the beats lining up to the music... But this seems secondary to the game throwing a diverse layout on the drums at you. You have to be playing a pretty high difficulty to feel the rhythm lining up, you can't always tell which instrument track is being used at any given time (and it varies) and different tracks definitely do not coordinate with different parts of the drum set. You are only going to be playing multiplaye…

I had high hopes for this game, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. It's certainly no Rock Band or even Piano Tiles. Personally I felt so disconnected from the game while playing. The syncing seems to be a bit off and after about 10 minutes of playing it I lost interest and didn't even bother trying my own songs. I am glad I got it for a huge discount so not much is lost. For a rhythm game, I recommend Audio Shield which I bought a couple of weeks ago, and I am having a blast with that game.

I'd lightly recommend this game on sale. It's fun, challenging, a bit of a workout, and slightly addictive. The notes seem to be synced up well. You can use any song you want in this. Expectedly, this means it will sometimes confuse base-y tones for drum beats and you'll get awkward notes a lot. Some songs match up perfectly, others are a bit of a mess. Also, there are several virtually impossible or extremely obnoxious achievements. Great concept, passable execution. Good group/social game since w/e's playing can DJ for the room off of SoundCloud or their own personal playlist.

Update - turns out I fixed the problem - it was just a case of going into the Oculus menu on the right controller and resetting the view. From then on the drums were within the barrier. If I hadn't read that as a tip elsewhere I'd never have thought of it! So yes, this is a fun little game. I'll leave the old review text below the dashes, but obviously the problem no longer exists. --- Don't get me wrong - I liked what I saw and really wanted to play more of this on my Rift. It has great features such as working with your own music, and lettign you easily raise and lower drum height. However, the game puts the drums beyond my Oculus guardian barrier, so every time I hit them the guardian wall appears in front of me - really distracting. I tried recalibrating SteamVR as standing only, and chose a location at the back of my play space, but Music Inside still insists on putting the drums beyond the guardian wall. I tried contacting the devs, but no response yet. One easy solution would be making one of the thumbsticks bring the drums forward or back. Or just match the stand location chosen in SteamVR. Until then I hate seeing the guardian wall continually glowing in front of me as …

Good game, Like audio shield
