Description: Join the fast-paced racing competition in VR with V-RACER HOVERBIKE ! Ever wanted to ride a futuristic motorbike floating over the ground, fully loaded with lethal weapons? Well, we’ve got you covered! Put on your VR Headset and hit the track! Challenge your friends in time-trial mode and weekly challenges with online ghosts, race against bots in a fun shooting feast, or play online in multiplayer with up to six racers. V-RACER HOVERBIKE was designed for VR from the ground up. It’s not a port. It can’t be played without a headset, as the control system is VR-only.
Review: V-Racer Hoverbike is a futuristic hoverbike racing with an impressive 15 tracks to race on and there is even a reverse version of each for a total of 30 tracks which is not to be sneezed at. Graphically I can’t knock the game at all, it looks great, the framerate is smooth and all the little touches and effects make it look and feel like a very polished game. There is supposed to be some multiplayer options, but for now, there is only a single-player mode (which is fine by me). The control system does take a little getting used to, but once you get into it you will be fully immersed in each race, but you don’t need me to tell you that nausea is a big issue here. For just £15.49 this might well be one of the greatest bargains you can get for our VR headsets and a real hidden gem in the Steam VR store.
