Survious has done it again. They have managed to create a unique VR experience that is highly engaging, looks great in the Vive, and is incredibly exhilarating to play. The movement system is brilliantly executed offering a unique VR gaming experience that also doubles as solid workout. Be warned though because your arms will ache if you play long enough. Sprint Vector is a must-have game for any VR gaming enthusiast.

Sprint Vector is a game that needs to be experienced by every PlayStation VR headset owner. The unparalleled sense of speed created by your Stride is one of the greatest feelings in virtual reality, and then combining it with the more advanced techniques on offer gives you a huge amount of depth to explore and master. Flying through the air is incredible, scaling a wall is thrilling, and using all of that momentum to launch yourself to the chequered flag is exhilarating. There’s nothing else quite like Sprint Vector in virtual reality right now, and so this is one you absolutely need to experience for yourself.

If you have PSVR and are looking for a racing game that captures the playful spirit of the Mario Kart games but will also make you work for that sweet taste of victory, then definitely give Sprint Vector a look. 4.1 The Running Man With an endearing mixture of the bubblegum pop aesthetic of Jet Set Radio and an intuitive first person parkour system that is reminiscent of Mirror’s Edge, only with the welcome addition of Mario Kart-esque power-ups and boosts, Sprint Vector immediately ticks a lot of boxes for what I look for when choosing “Sport” games. Despite traditionally not being the biggest fan of the genre, whacky deviations that still remain classified as being “Sports” titles, such as the aforementioned Jet Set Radio or combo heavy games like the classic Tony Hawk series, were among some of my favourite gaming experiences as a kidlet and I’ve been waiting for a game to come to VR that gave me the same rush of adrenaline I used to get when playing them. Sprint Vector definitely fulfils that desire, with the caveat that your mileage will vary depending on how physically fit you are; much like Sparc or Superhot VR, Sprint Vector is a fairly active game that requires constant movement of the arms in order to simulate running and gain momentum within the game. While players are given the choice between playing in a standing or seated position, the former seems to be the only way to play the game with any success, as I found swinging my arms frantically whilst sitting on my couch only really resulted in bruised elbows from when I’d leaned too far into a turn. But, removed from the vague comparisons to other games above, what exactly is Sprint Vector? Well, in essence players assume the role of one of a handful of professional runners, with a fairly visually diverse selection at hand that all share the same base stats, and then race against either online opponents or NPCs across tracks that offer varied and challenging obstacles to overcome. Luckily your character can do far more than just run – Aside from building your “stride” by swinging your arms and releasing the trigger during your downward swings, you can also jump huge gaps, glide, scale walls, launch yourself skyward with a quick pull, shoot obstacles and much more. The selection of different movement options is a little daunting at first, but after a few races and some time spent in the tutorial you’ll be bounding around the place like an old pro in no time at all… Well, when the controls work as intended, that is. The fluid locomotion system works superbly when performing most actions, particularly when building your stride, but issues can arise when trying to launch yourself to the top of walls; sometimes you’ll pull it off perfectly and the next time you’ll perform the exact same action yet push yourself out and away from the wall instead, setting your progress back precious seconds.
