Description: The game of bowls is a very old sport, which requires skill, strategy and a little luck. Bocce VR allows you to experience the excitement of a large game of bowling, challenging the computer. Play inside the stadium of a real bocce club, the atmosphere and tension will be skyrocketing. Show that you master this sport with cunning and skill, decide which strategies you use in the game to defeat your opponent.
Review: For those who don’t know what ‘Bocce’ is, this classic game goes under many different names depending on where you live. Here in the UK, we call it Bowls and in France, it is called pétanque. No matter what you call the game ‘Bocce VR’ is a basic simulation of it. Having never played the game in real life I can’t comment on how realistic the psychics are, but they seem pretty good to me. In fact, there is nothing special about this whole game, but it seems to do what it needs to and very little else. If you like the real game maybe give this a go as it is cheap enough to try, but this game is not going to get me into the sport that is for sure, but that could be down to how realistic they made it feel.
