Description: Sharknado VR (Arcade Version) puts you in the middle of the action – use a variety of weapons to battle the terrifying Sharknado. Maim, shoot and explode your way through hordes of hungry flying sharks and other airborne sea creatures in Sharknado VR!

This is the Arcade version of Sharknado VR: Eye of the Storm. It offers a shorter experience of the game, with more arcade elements included to maximize the player experience over a short time, like access to all weapons unlocked at the start of the game and receiving more ammo for the duration of the game as well.

Review: If you go into ‘Sharknado VR (Arcade Edition)’ looking for a game that is just as terribly made as the movies you should get what you are expecting. While the only difference I can see between the original game and this new “Arcade Edition” is all the weapons being unlocked, the rest seems like the same game. It’s an action shooter that sees you shooting sharks that are flying towards you from a tornado with a range of weapons, most of which run out of ammo pretty quickly. It’s windy, post-apocalyptic and the graphics are OK at best. Gameplay-wise the game will leave you questioning ‘Is this game bad because it is supposed to be a terrible game on a shoestring budget just like the movies? Or is it bad because it was made badly? ‘ For just £0.79 it’s worth a look, but the answer to that question is Yes, in both ways.
