Review: This is a game that seems to combine Tetris, Ping Pong and Arkanoid all on one VR package. It sure looks bright enough and some of the sound effects are cool, but the music does get a little repetitive rather quickly. The other main problem is that Cyberpong has a steep learning curve mostly due to its lack of instructions, but once you get into it, the fun will soon start to shine through. But by the time you get used to the game it is over in the single-player most leaving only the multiplayer to offer some value for money (which of course it doesn’t due to the lack of players). While I can’t recommend you give it a go at full price it might be one for Table Tennis fans to pick up in a sale.
