Description: Step into the tropical paradise of Bocce Beach and play an immersive bocce ball game in VR! You can naturally toss bocce balls on the beach with fun special effects and real-time sports commentary. Whether you want to play against the computer or compete with others for the Bocce Beach rankings, you’re guaranteed to have a blast! The game supports both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with touch controllers (360 tracking required).
Review: For those of us who don’t know (myself included), Bocce Beach Vr is essentially a Bocce ball sports simulator. Most of you are probably wondering what Bocce ball is! It is a grass or felt surface bowling game which is not too dissimilar to British bowls and French pétanque. What you don’t need me to tell you is the number of VR Bocce ball games there are. It is this one or nothing so if you like playing the game in real life maybe you will enjoy this. I don’t, but I still had fun playing this. It does require a lot of getting used to and there is no tutorial or instructions here, just get on with it or go away. £2.79 isn’t a lot, but if you have no interest in the game in real life I would avoid this.
