Description: The playing in traffic simulator, with aliens! Experience the thrill of running through traffic! Dodge cars and trains to get that high score, but beware, you are not alone. Run fast or be disintegrated! In Jogger, you are the controller! Stand up and jog on the spot to move forward in the virtual world, giving you the most immersive traffic dodging experience around.

Review: On paper, VR Jogger sounds like a good idea and could be a lot of fun, but in practice, it fails to do the most basic of things like that all important “control of the game”. Jogging on the spot is fun, but it should have been an option, but a must. The game itself looks pretty good, even the sound effects & music are not that bad. But like I said, that lack of “control” really is annoying. Worth laugh for sure, but often very frustrating as well.
