R42

"You don't really drive the machine, you ARE THE MACHINE, and pretty much every movement you make with your hands, arms, head, neck and upper body can control the steering. I'm not sure VR racing can get more immersive, more personal than this." ----Me and my pup, Chiquita But steering can also be quite simple, such as using an XBox-type controller, or just leaning from side to side, or even lying on your back with only your hands steering. (Review section on playing as a disabled gamer toward bottom. But keep in mind, R42 is NOT a "disabled game". It is a game that this reviewer believes just about anyone can play and enjoy tremendously.) I’m a big fan of Steam-offered driving/racing games (owning dozens), and at the very least the Store Page description of R42 offered something new and unusual. And I must say, R42 has delivered!
