Description: Step right up to VR Funhouse, and enter a virtual carnival full of fun and games. Set targets ablaze with flaming arrows. Test your skill shooting skeet. See how many moles you can whack, and much more. VR Funhouse combines virtual reality, cutting-edge NVIDIA VRWorks graphics, and advanced NVIDIA GameWorks effects to deliver a new level of interactive gameplay and immersion.

Review: From the same genre that brought you Carnival Games VR & Pierhead Arcade comes NVIDIA VR Funhouse! This is once again an arcade full of little mini-games and fun things to do. With 9 games, all played using the touch controller, you will be shooting hoops, boxing and even playing Whack-A-Mole until your arms hurt! If you have ever been to a funfair or seaside amusement arcade, you will know exactly what to do here. The next game and restart buttons are all very well placed and once I got the hang of the UI, I didn’t have to think about what to do, it come pretty naturally, much like the controls of the game as a whole. It’s all shoot this, grab that, punch this, it doesn’t take more than a few seconds to work out all the games.

While NVIDIA VR Funhouse doesn’t have nearly half as many games as some of the other games in the same genre, it is free and that needs to be taken into account. I love both Carnival Games VR & Pierhead Arcade to bits’ but given that this one is free and contains many of the games in those two titles, it might be best to play this before the others, then if you like it maybe you could consider paying more for more games by buying those other titles in the same genre.
