Description: Welcome to the first episode of an infinite playground of possibilities, where intense, adrenaline-fueled free running meets immersive VR simulation. Run, jump and slide your way through a virtual gauntlet with your body as the controller, and prove yourself to be the ultimate obstacle runner.
Competitors and level designers will have the tools to create challenging and visually striking courses in VR. Combine varieties of blocks and game mechanics to create all new courses and a completely customised gameplay experience. You’ll be able to share your levels, challenge your friends, and even participate in high stakes tournaments.
Review: While ‘Ultimate Obstacle Course – Prologue’ isn’t exactly original it does still have massive potential. It’s a single-player, or online multiplayer obstacle course in which you will be running, jumping and climbing your way to the finish line. You can customize your avatar and I presume there will be unlockable clothing and items to dress it with as well when the full game comes out. This demo game looks pretty good to be fair to the developer and the multi-path levels will bring some extra strategy to the levels. As long as the full game has the right price I think this will do well, essential given the success of games like Sprint Vector. But sadly it is an Oculus Rift Only game, so that might mean there is a lack of other players to race against.
