Description: Skiing VR is based on the mechanics of real ski movement, by which the player uses stick-like ski poles and head-bends to guide the movement. The intuitive and realistic controls offer a maximum gameplay experience and brings a huge share of excitement. Partake in cooperative competitions and play in 4 unique modes of play. Hit the slope and collect coins as you play and be careful to avoid any obstacles on your path. Bonuses are awarded for brilliant skiing. Overtake your opponents and show off your skiing skills as you gain momentum and go for the win.

Review: I have to say I thought there would be a lot more asking games for our VR headsets and while it is true not many of them have been worth a download. The good news is ‘Skiing VR’ is well worth a look! Based over 3 game modes (Racing, coin collection, & time trial) and with a total of 8 courses which are the same 4, only with day and night lighting. While the game isn’t the best looking it was smooth enough to be enjoyable and once I got the hang of turning using my head motions I was well away and had a blast playing it.

Sadly the multiplayer side of things is dead on arrival, but the other games mode will take a while to get through, but the truth is unless you hit that multilayer side of things hard you probably won’t get your money’s worth here. But the game is fun and I do recommend it! however, if you can grab this in a sale you will feel much better about your purchase.
