Marvel's Iron Man VR Demo Review

This demo was such a thrill to play, who in their right mind wouldn't like to be Iron Man flying through the skies and shooting projectiles out of their hands. The Demo only consists of about twenty minutes of game play including an introductory mission to teach you the basics of virtual reality along with a full-fledged first mission of the game. Right when I entered into the introductory mission I knew that this game will be amazing once it releases. The tutorials go through how to shoot projectiles, use the power thrusters to move and how to change the direction you are facing. The one thing that stands out as really advanced compared to other VR games I've played is you are able to turn fully around without experiencing many tracking issues which is pretty neat. On to the first mission, there was definitely a lot of "this is insane" moments. Basically, you begin as Tony Stark, joined with his accomplice Pepper on an airplane in route to his home base in Malibu. The plane gets shot at and bursts into flames by enemies that are using Tony's old combat drones. Tony has to escape the plane and rescue pepper (who is the pilot)  before the plane crashes and burns to the ground. Overall, for a virtual reality game I thought the graphics were among the best I have ever seen and just the rush of adrenaline I got while trying to dodge enemy projectiles, whilst firing back at them was probably the coolest VR experience I have had. 

Overall, I give this demo a 10/10. Between it's amazing graphics, really good camera tracking, and immersiveness and just for the fact that you are playing as one of the greatest superheroes of all time, this ranks as one of the top VR games on my list. If this is indicative at all on how the full game will be, it should be one for the books.
