    It's like nothing I've ever experienced. It is awesome, it literally feels like you are there. It does get old after awhile, but they keep adding new content!

    Nice entry to VR, needs external controls, trying to find controls on your head can be cumbersome.

    The next generation of gaming is here. Lightweight construction. It may seem bulky to some. And will take some time to get use to. But overall a great value.

    Felt like it was 1991, and the Dead just left town. The graphics and hallucinating effect are mind blowing. Make sure you sit down for this ride.
