  [h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] i do recommend this experience. Keep in mind it's not for everyone. At this time there's not so much a game and there isn't a whole lot to really do. It's mostly about exploring the terrain and enjoying the realistic sights on Mars. Unfortunately, it is not exactly the most polished experience at the moment. It's not a simulation. There is no challenge in traversing Mars on your Red Rover. This is not the movie The Martian. You're not Matt Damon driving around on Mars. Your rover can go just about anywhere with little challenge except maybe flipping over if you go too fast over some hard angles. You can also fly around sort of. The views are mostly gorgeous if you're into Mars at all, but keep in mind this is replicated realistic terrain taken from satellite imagery. So don't expect aliens or really much to see other than the sheer awesomeness of Mars. If Mars doesn't interest you, you'll be bored to tears. I was disappointed that the different areas of Mars are not that big and you will soon see the edges of the map you can't travel past. I thought this would be like a fully realized globe you could explore but instead it is several mapped areas you can teleport to, but each one has edges that would make flat-earthers happy (or is it flat-Marsers?). There is a day and night cycle that you can manipulate. Mars looks absolutely stunning at sunset or sunrise. I hope this gets updated so that the controls are better on the rover, especially flying. I did enjoy the 1st person view, but it seemed like it was too dificult to fly when in first person for some odd reason. There are some surprises to find on Mars, I think all of them were ideas stolen from The Martian, but they are pretty neat nonetheless. Rate 6.5/10. This is a must buy for any VR space geek junkee. But be warned, it's feels like Early Access even though this is the full release. So keep your expectations low. p.s. Here are some lines from Total Recall which I think is an appropriate way to describe anybody who decides to buy this game in its current state and a ready response to any hater. [i] Harry: Hey, Quaid. Douglas Quaid: Harry. Harry: How was your trip to Mars? Douglas Quaid: What trip? Harry: You went to Rekall, remember? Douglas Quaid: I did? Harry: Yeah, you did. I told you not to, but you went anyway. Douglas Quaid: What are you, my father? [/i]

  This is a very cool concept, but hold off until they provide a control scheme that makes sense. Keep my five dollars, though. Please use it to better the simulator.

  Thumbs up, with some caveats. I've been reading Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy recently, and I picked this up because I thought it might be good way to better visualize some of the landscapes described in the book. On that level, as a kind of visual aid to my imagination, it's pretty good. It's worth $5 -- the price of a fancy coffee drink -- to get an accurate idea of what Mars more-or-less looks like from ground level. As a game, however, it's ... well ... it's not one. It's not really even trying to be one. The controls are wonky and less than intuitive. (I'd pay another $1 for a DLC that just mapped the camera to the right analog stick on my Xbox controller). There are objective markers, but they don't really mean anything. There's no story. There's no skill involved in navigating the rover around, which could have been an interesting way to go. (There's a whole team at NASA that just tries to figure this stuff out for the real rovers.) You can't free roam the planet, only explore specific map areas, which is less than ideal. If you meet Red Rover on its own terms, and don't it expect it to be something it isn't, it's neat enough for the price. I'd love to see some more development of the experience itself, perhaps like a bunch of randomly generated rocks of all sizes on the surface to give it the feel of the Martian landscape we've seen in photos. It would be cool to see dust storms and other weather, or to have the rover handle differently to different kinds of terrain. I'd like to be able to explore the whole planet without having to "teleport" from one box to another, even if that meant some areas were more accurately depicted than others. I wouldn't mind a more game-like experience, perhaps driving supplies from one outpost to another. Even a few things like this would make it feel more immersive. Red Rover is like a very promising demo or alpha version of the Mars game that I'd like to play. if Alan Chan decides this is all he would like it to be, I'm OK with that. But it could be more.

  Actual Mars terrain. VR offroading. Low grav. Done!

  A decent attempt at VR Mars, as a default not as good as Mars 2030. Then you add the horrific situation where the "recenter" button is completely ineffective. I had to play it with my head in between two bookshelves! Very poor development. Mars 2030 is way better.

  Great for kids! Visit Victoria Crater and drive Oppy! Thoughts for additional or community content: 1. Add option to add/remove fictional content: e.g. remove crates. 2. More maps using HiRISE data. 3. Using the above, recreate Mark Watney's journey.
