The gameplay in this VR racing game is praised for its originality and complexity, featuring a variety of mechanics such as running, drifting, jumping, climbing, and flying that are easy to learn but challenging to master. Players appreciate the immersive experience and fluid motion, although some find the arm-swinging locomotion awkward and the tutorials overly lengthy. Overall, the game offers a fun and engaging experience, with a steep learning curve that rewards practice and skill development.
- “It has actual game mechanics that are easy to understand but pretty difficult to master due to the movement controls and the frenetic pace of the game.”
- “Sprint Vector's mechanics are surprisingly complex for a VR racing game - running, drifting, jumping, climbing, and flying all have unique motion controls associated with them, and fluidly switching between them both feels great and is crucial to success!”
- “The gameplay feels very fluid and it's satisfying to master.”
- “The game mechanics should be more gradually introduced because if you get through a long tutorial and the first level needs to be played a few times to get good at the game because of all the things you need to do quickly to play it, it is not well done.”
- “The only gameplay point that irks me is needing to turn; you can't turn without turning your body, which can be annoying and disorienting sometimes.”
- “I personally didn't enjoy the gameplay of swinging my arms back and forth in order to run.”

- “The graphics are fantastic and unique, gameplay runs smooth, and the menu setup is the best I've seen in VR to date.”
- “I'm not a huge fan of the art style; some of the levels just looked kind of bad in comparison to some of the better-looking character models, and some of the other characters look just as rough as the levels too. Also, there's a lot of overlapping dialogue that happens near the beginning of races, which is just a treat to the ears.”
- “Aesthetically, it's a mess: the whole 'we're not really BTAS Joker and Harley but we totally are, wink wink' commentary crew gets unbelievably irritating within 5 minutes, and if you're expecting JSRF visual style, you're getting Animorphs at best.”
- “1/10 horrible graphics.”

The game's story is largely considered lacking, with players noting that while the premise and world are immersive and the voice acting is stellar, there is minimal narrative depth. Many express a desire for a more developed story campaign, as the existing commentary hints at a richer world that remains largely unexplored. Overall, the engaging characters and intriguing setting leave players wanting more in terms of storytelling.
- “However, the bare minimum story that the game has is one that makes you want to know more, that makes it feel like the world is real, alive, breathing.”
- “Well, other than an immersive premise and world with engaging characters and stellar voice acting, the game doesn't appear to have much in the way of story.”
- “The fact that the existing premise is so enticing is probably why it's so painful that the game doesn't really have a story.”
- “The game seems diverse and the world extremely interesting, so I'm disappointed there's no story campaign!”
