Review: I feel it is best to start with what I like about ‘Inside The Park VR’. I like all the variety of settings you get like the variable pitch speeds and the different drill settings and dare I say it looks OK as well, while not being anything special. It is clear that the developers of this concentrated on trying to make the most realistic baseball simulator in VR we have seen so far. Sadly they failed quite miserably. Let’s start with the biggest gripe which is value for money, with a current asking price of £19.49 you will be left BITTERLY disappointed with your purchase, but then there is the gameplay that somehow seems to fall apart especially with anything other than batting. It’s a good try I suppose and worth a few quid, but I would try and get this in a 75% off or better sale as paying much more than a few quid will only leave you feeling ripped off.
