Description: This game was build from the ground up for Virtual Reality and Motion Controllers. Compete against your friends in several fun and thrilling sports events like Bowling underwater or Archery on top of a mountain. Use your real-life skills in order to achieve the best scores and enjoy some beautiful landscapes! Periodonica is a hotseat-style multiplayer party game, like Wii Sports, where you get together with some friends and try to beat each other’s score. For the initial release, four-sport types will be available: Archery, Baseball, Bowling and Frisbee.

Review: Periodonica is a collection of 4 VR sports that include Archery, Baseball, Bowling and Frisbee, but only the Bowling game was ever finished. Sadly this is one VR project that is long abandoned and will not be updated. While it is sad to see any VR project get canned I think this is for the best with this one. It was looking like neither of the games were any good and I would prefer to see the developer can it and concentrate on just one genre. But underwater bowling could have been fun that is for sure.
