RIFF VR

Wow!  I didn't expect much from this abandoned game, it's a bunch of fun!  Remember Guitar Hero\Rock Band?  Now you can do it in VR!  If you enjoyed those games then give this game a try!  

Playing drums is awesome, playing guitar is awesome, singing is awesome.  Give it a try!  

Having said that, the game is extremely rough.  Movement is transportation only, which is weird, because this game really shouldn't need ANY movement.  It uses screens that you have to virtually transport to to control stuff.  This is VR, why can't the screens be in front of you, or on your arms like a wristwatch.  Why are they literal screens?  If you don't lock the picks\drusmticks randomly fall from your hand.  No multiplayer.  The game was abandoned so don't expect any bugfixes or improvements.  Yet, despite the list of issues, the game is just amazingly fun!

If you've ever wanted to be in a garage band, this game will give you that dream!  Belting out to "Talk Dirty to me" is fun!  Buy this, play this, and enjoy yourself!  

This definitely has the Rock Band/Guitar Hero feel for VR, but misses the target. No haptic feedback and the fact that everything clips just makes it feel even worse. Singing has a neat little karaoke like screen, but then doesn’t do the following along like most karaoke. There also needs to be a way to rotate yourself, especially for the drums. The “new drum cues” were fairly easy to follow, but then slow down right before they hit the cue. They should remain at a consistent speed to help keep rhythm. The silence of selecting a song makes the game feel like it's broken, as with most music games, there should at least be a sound clip of what you are selecting. The easy difficulty actually gets boring as there are huge breaks where there could at least be a note here and there. Glad I tried this in Infinity. 

It looks like it would be fun and the first game of its like i have seen on Vive VR but the game controls don't seem to work most of the time and i cant figure out how to navagate from inside the stage area.  A good idea but not quite there yet at least with a vive controller.
