Later revisions may improve the bugs and lack of variety, but for now this is just another VR tech demo that's all promise and too little polish.

A fun reinterpretation of classic rhythm action games; that looks great and has a potentially infinite music library

The gameplay gets repetitive very quickly, no matter how different the music is you use; Very buggy, particularly the menu interface

Removing yourself from the Vive's virtual worlds is an odd, disorientating experience. Despite the fantastic worlds into which you're submerged it's so realistic it's unnerving.

The HTC Vive is up against the Oculus Rift and Sony's PlayStation VR in the race to be the best and most successful virtual reality headset. I'll say right here and now that as a piece of technology, it probably is the best, but that as a consumer device, it probably won't be the most successful.

Brilliantly immersive; Can be worn at length; Plenty of good games

Neither cheap nor simple; Inevitably bulky & cumbersome; Very few great games

Easy to install and is very comfortable. I am usually very picky about sound quality and these sound great for what they are. They actually sound better than the headphones on the HTC Vive Pro I tried at a friend's.

YOU WILL NOT GET FALLOUT 4 VR WITH THIS PURCHASE. I bought this bundle on March 25, it arrived at my post office and was ready for pickup April 2. The HTC code for Fallout 4 VR is a PROMOTIONAL CODE that ENDED on March 31--two days before my "bundle" arrived in the mail, and because the code is...

Nearly two years into the advent of consumer VR, our testing options continue to evolve. Nvidia's FCAT VR remains the best tool at our disposal for performance analysis. However, Nvidia hasn't updated the software since its initial release in July, and we noticed that newer games don't always play...

Versatile; Easy to configure

Expensive; Limited software support; Limited peripheral support

It's hard to compare the HTC Vive to anything. It doesn't have the games of the Oculus Rift yet, but the Vive's take on virtual reality is best in breed. No other VR headsets offer such an immersive virtual reality experience that you can wander around it, poke stuff and genuinely lose yourself in...

Room-scale VR is the one to beat; Excellent; intuitive controllers; Comfortable and well-designed headset

Not enough content; A bit laborious to set up; Expensive

The promise of virtual reality has always been to escape the bounds of your living room or office and enjoy an entirely new world where the same rules don't apply. High-end VR headsets like the HTC Vive have largely delivered on that promise, but if you've ever dabbled in VR you'll know that...

The HTC Vive has become such an important focus of the company's business, that there are even rumors of a branch spin-off recently, but is the Vive truly worth more dedicated focus?

Valve and HTC have worked together to provide the most comprehensive virtual reality solution on the market today, capable of astonishing results that pave the way in revolutionising the way we play games.
