  • gameplay
    115 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this VR racing game is characterized by a rich variety of mechanics that are easy to learn but challenging to master, offering a high skill ceiling and a rewarding experience for players. While the movement controls, including arm-swinging for locomotion, are innovative and engaging, they may require a significant adjustment period, and some players find them awkward or prone to glitches. Overall, the game is praised for its polished design, immersive speed, and the fun factor of its unique mechanics, though it may not appeal to everyone due to its learning curve and multiplayer challenges.

    • “Lots of mechanics to master and a very tall skill ceiling. I think anyone in search of a fun workout should try this!”
    • “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.”
    • “This is definitely the worst f***ing VR game that I've ever bought, no players, no mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay loop is just a way to turn away the boredom and repetition of doing the same thing over and over, but it kind of works.”
    • “As I said, there is no gameplay loop, no story, no final objective, no worldbuilding, and even the sense of progression is stunted because winning a race is so bland.”
  • graphics
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their vibrant colors, stylish design, and overall polish, creating an engaging and immersive atmosphere. While some users noted inconsistencies in art style and level design, the majority highlighted the game's beautiful visuals and smooth performance, even on lower-end systems. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's fun and energetic vibe, making it visually appealing and enjoyable to play.

    • “Bright colorful visuals, pumping audio, and a stylish opening cinematic set the tone for what's to come, and what's to come is fun.”
    • “The graphics are vibrant and colorful and combine well with the music to create an atmosphere of thrill and excitement.”
    • “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.”
  • music
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its energetic and fitting tracks that enhance the overall atmosphere, with many reviewers highlighting the upbeat electronic, drum and bass, and neuro-funk styles that perfectly complement the gameplay. While some players noted that the music could be overshadowed by other game elements, the majority found the soundtrack to be a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's vibrant and thrilling experience. Overall, the combination of great visuals and a fantastic soundtrack creates an engaging and enjoyable environment for players.

    • “The soundtrack is also fantastic; drum and bass tracks straight from the 90s get you pumped while racing, and the overall vibe of the game is just a ton of fun.”
    • “You can tell how much effort and love is put into this game by the cool design, fantastic music, and the high-quality voice actors!”
    • “I wish there was better, louder music, and I hope that I've only seen a tip of the iceberg in the mixed amount of time I've played.”
    • “The music fits very well with the game and really helps to convey the right atmosphere.”
    • “Beautiful game, fun as hell when you're competitive (know the levels) but the music is just decent.”
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and progression, with many players expressing disappointment over the absence of a narrative or campaign mode. While the immersive world and engaging voice acting are praised, the overall consensus is that the game feels incomplete without a substantial storyline or character development, leaving players wanting more.

    • “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.”
    • “As I said, there is no gameplay loop, no story, no final objective, no worldbuilding, and even the sense of progression is stumped because winning a race is so bland.”
    • “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.”
  • replayability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is generally praised, with many users highlighting the abundance of offline races, varied challenges, and numerous courses that enhance replay value.

    • “So amazingly fun to play and the replayability is insanely maximum!”
    • “21 courses ensures lots of replayability with varying levels of difficulty.”
    • “It's at a great price for the amount of content and replayability you get, too.”
    • “Sadly, the game's multiplayer did not take off and is an absolute ghost town, slightly diminishing the game's replayability, but it still has lots of play value for the offline races and challenges.”
    • “All that being said, I haven't played very much of the game; I can't comment on replayability or the scale of difficulty, challenge modes, multiplayer, or advanced courses because I haven't played them.”
    • “A game like this will offer a lot of replayability as well.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews; while some players report solid performance and a polished experience, others experience significant performance issues even on high-end hardware. Recommendations include adjusting CPU-based effects to improve performance, indicating that the game's optimization may vary widely depending on individual setups. Overall, the game's optimization appears to be inconsistent, with both positive and negative feedback from users.

    • “+ solid performance for me on my entry level to mid range VR setup.”
    • “Well, as you can read in previous reviews, the performance is really bad.”
