Description: VR Batting’ is a virtual reality cricket simulator made for the HTC Vive. Pickup the bat, take guard and play! From smashing the ball out of the park to playing textbook cover drives, play real cricket shots all over the ground in a virtual cricket field.
Review: You can count the number of cricket games in VR on one hand and sadly you can count the good ones with a single finger. Sadly VR Batting is not that one finger. This is another attempt at a VR cricket game only this time all you are doing it batting. There are at least two game modes to play 5 Overs and Survival, but they are very much the same thing. Grpaicly it is nothing to get excited about and the sound effects are a bare minimum. There is no way on this Earth this game is worth £6.99, but I might pay a quid for it if I really like cricket (which I don’t). Maybe it is just my own hatred for cricket that is effecting my review, but I don’t think it is.
