Harmonix Music VR
Harmonix Music VR doesn’t really try to pretend and be a game. It’s more of an immersive VR experience, designed to help you enjoy your music in a different way to usual. As you may have guessed from the somewhat trippy visuals in the image above, Harmonix Music VR is all about using the 360-degree environment surrounding you to ‘interact’ with your music.
It tries to do this with four different modes, but each one feels more lackluster and limited than the last. The Easel is by far its most interesting mode, allowing players to use Move controllers to draw in a 3D space and then manipulate it with a bunch of tools, all while it bops to the music. The other has you foolin’ around with an adorable dance troupe, while the others are more focused on giving you trippy visuals than any actual gameplay. It’s a unique idea, but one that’s poorly executed and lacks any serious depth to be considered a true, worthwhile experience.
