C-Smash VRS evaluation: A dazzling PSVR2 multiplayer video game blending tennis and Tetris
Cosmic Smash was a game for the Sega Dreamcast console that came out in 2001.
Using a squash racket and ball, you would travel through a utopian future destroying Tetris-like blocks at each level.
If you own a Playstation VR2 headset, C-Smash VRS is a remaster and/or sequel to the game.
It’s great, by the way.
With a unique yet simple and striking animation style, the same basic, white blocky future is on exhibit here.
It’s comfortable to wear with the headset, and the high-definition screen makes it look like you’re on a far future space station.
And by 2023, thanks to VR2 Sense controllers and the full immersion of virtual reality, the game has become something entirely different.
For the first time, you can put yourself in the shoes of a fictional character as you see your racket and hands in front of you and take arcing, accurate shots at the ball.
You can be playing in minutes because of how simple the game is; it’s essentially tennis meets Tetris.
The difficulty rises as you face more and more barriers to overcome in a decreasing amount of time during solo play.
When playing alone, this is quite the challenge, and it’s not uncommon to lose track of time when absorbed in the game.
This game’s multiplayer mode is what makes it so enjoyable.
Getting a game online with a second player in PSVR2’s universe is, once again, a breeze.
The end result is an engaging and strategic game of bat and ball that will keep you entertained for hours.
It’s a lot of fun to play; the ball responds precisely to your swing, and the intensity of the competition is on par with that of a real squash match.
You’ve got an excellent virtual reality (VR) game with the latest headgear if you add in the cool pulsating music.
And it’s probably the best VR multiplayer experience we’ve had so far.
The main negative is that it can only do one thing well, and I often end up with a headache from overusing it.
A hunt for it is still well worth it at 24.49 for VR lovers looking for their next purchase.
