Review: Sports Bar VR is a fun party game that uses the dual PlayStation Move control system. The game takes place inside an amazingly detailed sports bar that is overflowing with fun things to do and silly physics props to have fun with. But this is not a pub on your own, you can join up with 6 of your friends and play air hockey, darts, 3, 8 or 9-ball pool, Skee Ball and even dominoes!

Controls in this game are all done with the move controllers and once you have worked out the UI you will have no problem doing pretty much all you want in this game. Sadly that does go for the other players as well, so if you want a serious game of pool or darts, do pick your playing friends wisely. The more you play this game, the more fun it gets as you unlock more and more daft things to play with.

While there isn’t a whole lot to do on your own here, this is a game that is all about the multi-player. Against the computer, I did find the AI level was set a little bit too high and it took me a while to win a game against it, but I suppose practice makes perfect. I can’t imagine this replacing visiting a pub or sports bar in the real world anytime soon, but when it comes to party games, this can be a real laugh(provided you are with the right friends).
