Description: Traffic Control is a serious responsibility though. Someone might die if an ambulance or a fire truck is stuck in a jam. A thief might get away if a police car loses its direction, or your brand new car can crash into a tree if you put your foot down! So are you ready to take control of the traffic?

Review: If you look around your own city streets you will soon realise how complicated it would be to control the flow of traffic. Making sure fire engines, ambulances and police cars can get through even in peak rush hour. City Traffic Control VR gives you the chance to prove your worth as a traffic control officer. Using the Oculus Remote you can look at each vehicle and tap to speed up or hold the remote button down to slow the vehicle down (although why it wasn’t simply up and down buttons I will never know.)

The problem is all these cars in your VR cartoon style city seem to drive in the middle of the road, so you will need to make sure no-one crashes into anyone else. That might be easy when there are only one or two vehicles to control, but things soon get really complicated when 3, 4 or even more vehicles need to get around the city and you have no idea the path each of them will take. It soon turns into a game of trial and error which does really ramp up the challenge factor.

This is the perfect game for anyone who loves time management games. With simple controls, 28 levels of fun (with a few rounds on each level) and even a 3-star points system for the completionists out there this is one game that is well worth its asking price. Just be warned that just because this game looks cartoony, doesn’t mean it will be easy.
