Review: Do you remember the terrible robot fighting 2011Action/Sci-fi film called “Real Steel”? If you do, or you have played Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots you will know what to expect here. I will start by letting you know that you need at least 2.5 m sq to play this game so that is a big issue for most people. The thing is, it just doesn’t work well in VR. Sure, the controls worth great provided you have the room, but the action just feels lame and even less exciting than the plastic game of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. I wanted to BE the robot, not control the robot, or at least have it be an option. I definitely wouldn’t pay £14.49 for this, but if you have the play space I would consider grabbing this for a quid or two.
