    It’s really sad to see such a promising and ridiculously amazing video game franchise be revived 17 years later, only to be disappointed with a shallow cast, loss of loved characters (including the likes of fan-favorite Pudding), and identical playable characters (both of which only target ONE audience and don’t help to engage male players). However, the music is stylish, the animation isIt’s really sad to see such a promising and ridiculously amazing video game franchise be revived 17 years later, only to be disappointed with a shallow cast, loss of loved characters (including the likes of fan-favorite Pudding), and identical playable characters (both of which only target ONE audience and don’t help to engage male players). However, the music is stylish, the animation is near-flawless for a video game, and Cherami Leigh is the ideal replacement for the one, and only, voice of Ulala — Apollo Smile. But the two overall, and most disappointing factors, of this game is the short gameplay and how the developers completely ignored Pudding altogether. The game is not worth the sale price, that’s true, but it’s worth a shot if it’s free and if you’re a die-hard Sega or Space Channel 5 fan.… Expand

    Having Ulala back is a welcome return and, Space Channel 5 VR manages to capture the world perfectly, and tug at all the correct nostalgia related heartstrings. It would be great to get lost in the cosy bosom of that feeling... if there was just more to offer. The promise of new characters, songs, and DLC, should rectify some of these issues, but with the already high price tag it's hard to imagine anyone outside the already committed fanbase to take a punt. As nice as it is to see a return to the news desk, hold out for a possible GOTY edition.

    The worst part about this was that every second of this game was enjoyable. It was funny. It was charming. The music was great. I had a lot of fun. But ultimately the gameplay sort of just boils down to Just Dance in VR and Just Dance releases at a discount price and has more “game” just by the sheer number of songs. I mean there really isn’t much to say about Space Channel 5 VR other than there is not enough game here for the price they are asking, and more salt is poured into the wound because what is here is a lot of fun.

    While PS VR ought to be a natural medium for Space Channel 5, it’s hard to see Ulala as more than a nostalgic opening act for the rest of the competition. [Issue#174, p.87]
