    Sprint Vector is an interesting take on VR sports/racing.

    Pros: + Skating is a lot of fun, especially with Overdrive power-up + Maps are awesome, they have tons of shortcuts and alternative routes + The game is highly polished and optimized + Visuals are really stylish, best choice for VR Cons: - Switching different movement mechanics is really difficult to master.

    Pros:
    + Skating is a lot of fun, especially with Overdrive power-up
    + Maps are awesome, they have tons of shortcuts and alternative routes
    + The game is highly polished and optimized
    + Visuals are really stylish, best choice for VR

    Cons:
    - Switching different movement mechanics is really difficult to master. Especially between skating and gliding when it's hard to tell if you are standing on the surface or flying just few centimeters above it
    - Climbing is quite clunky, and there are some sections with obligatory climbing in Race mode
    - Later racing maps are much more focused on platforming rather than skating. And platforming when you can't see your legs can be really frustrating
    - Online multiplayer is almost dead    … Expand

    A brilliant game. Fast with no hit of motion sickness. Challenging but fair. Only trouble is, after playing for an hour, I get knackered, and have to play something more sedentary. Guess that isn't really the game's fault.

    You can't compare it to anything else in VR, because there is nothing like it in VR. The best game you can compare it to is probably Mario Kart. All the mechanics are pretty robust, there's a strong multiplayer element, great visuals, and it's fun as sh*t.

There's nothing else like slowly gaining on another player, watching them look back in panic, and the intense competitive feeling you get from these interactions. It's one of those things that simply doesn't work in anything but VR, since the degree of immersion brings all these elements to another level.

    I do have a few gripes though. Some parts of the map, say you get thrown off the beaten path by someone's powerup or an explosive barrel, are far too difficult to navigate. There needs to be a button press or combination that teleports you to the center of the track. I find way too often that I get stuck in between some level props that don't have any benefit to the track.

    All in all it's a great experience. I'd say that this is the VR title many people have been waiting for. If a larger, more capable studio was smart enough to create stuff like this then VR would be taking right the f*ck off.    … Expand

    If you've been longing for a competitive game like Mario Kart or SpeedRunners, but in VR, then you are absolutely in the right place.

The locomotion is fantastic, and it gets tiring pretty quickly. It's also a great social game, as it is most fun when played with a group of friends. When racing, you end up improvising along the track while seeking for shortcuts and new ways to stop your opponents from catching up to you. These end up being split second decisions, and when you nail a very difficult shortcut or blast an opponent out of the way (all at blazing speeds, of course), you are hit by a wave of serious satisfaction. If you're okay with having a bit of a workout, then I would totally say that Sprint Vector is the pinnacle of a AAA VR title.… Expand

    Survious has done it again. They have managed to create a unique VR experience that is highly engaging, looks great in the Vive, and is incredibly exhilarating to play. The movement system is brilliantly executed offering a unique VR gaming experience that also doubles as solid workout. Be warned though because your arms will ache if you play long enough. Sprint Vector is a must-have game for any VR gaming enthusiast.

    A prime example of high-risk, high-reward, Survios’s Sprint Vector is a game every VR owner should certainly consider.

    Sprint Vector is an immensely entertaining VR racing experience that handles movement in a very unique way. If you’re looking for a Mario Kart style VR game, you’ve found it.
