The Thrill of the Fight Review (CheekFACE)
First off, this game is 100% worth it, but just be careful with your body. It can be the most physically demanding VR game if you let it, so be smart and take your time as you get going. I'd recommend stretching and doing some basic PT to prepare your body.
Pros:
It's a great workout with a fun challenge.
The different fighters all seem to have different strengths and weaknesses.
There are faster, taller and harder hitting opponents, so you can't rely on the same technique each fight.
It actually feels a lot like it does in the ring sparing(probably nothing like being in a real fight with a real audience). It can be intimidating when you opponent has weight, reach and height advantages.
Cons:
It seems this game favors headhunting. Bodyshots are useful for setting up headshots, but it doesn't seem possible to win via a bodyshot, no matter how hard and accurate you land to the liver.
If you knock someone down, they are no more vulnerable in the seconds following them getting up. Often they'll stand up and come at you like they're 100% healthy all of a sudden.
Neutral:
The game can be cheated if you try. So just play the game the way it's intended and you'll have a good time, a tough challenge and a great workout.
Sweat, lots and lots of sweat.
