For what it promises, a star wars experience in VR, it certainly delivers. The environments are really pretty, even if it's the ugly lava planet of Mustafar. I dig the adventurous high-tech aesthetic, sneaking around the castle of Darth freaking Vader! When he's standing near you, he's imposing and terrifying. Just how it should be. The story itself is pretty interesting. A superweapon that absorbs the life of entire worlds to try and bring back a loved one, seems tailor made for Anakin to prioritize. Being there, fighting these stormtroopers and ancient machines off is pretty fun. And it promises a good adventure for chapter 2 and 3. Even if the gameplay has a lot of waiting around and watching cutscenes.
Far as the gameplay itself...it's fine. The movement is fine, a little nauseating when you're climbing, but that's par for the course in VR. Most importantly, the lightsabers. They're implemented really well. The weightless blade can feel a little shaky sometimes, but it does what it sets out to do, without being too cutty so you get to enjoy it.
The gameplay really shines in the dojo. Unlike the later chapters, this doesn't have any force powers, blasters, etc. It's just you, your enemies, and your blade. It's simple, fun, and a good challenge. Especially round 40. A test of skill and patience. The rewards are also really cool. To my knowledge, it's the only one of the 3 that allows you to change arenas, which is replaced with the much lamer gloves in future installments. The fan servicey lightsabers also look and feel really nice. I do kinda wish they added dual wield, maul saber, cross guard or other specialty types, even in an update, but those come later so it's not a big deal. My only complaint is that it's very counter reactive. You wait for the enemies to do something. When you're trying to go for 3 stars on all levels (they aren't ACTUALLY stars but they're functionally the same) sometimes they won't do anything and you'll lose the perfect score because of that. That's annoying.
But overall, this is a really fun game. The story mode is a little short, and the arcade is simplistic, but for $10, I wouldn't say this is a bad VR game at all.

I forgot to review this one. Played in close proximity to Mario land 2, I'm able to compare and contrast the two. While I think Mario land 2 is objectively a bit better, there's emphasis on "a bit." I may have had more fun with this one.
The biggest advantage this has over that is the controls. In my eyes, the NSMB series is 2D Mario controlling at its finest. It's super fun just to run through the levels, triple jumping, wall jumping and ground pounding the whole way through. The levels are really well designed, and can actually be a little challenging. There's some creative concepts, particularly in world 8. The bosses are a massive upgrade too, which is saying a lot since they're still pretty easy. The pixely 3D models give it a unique charm compared to the other games in it's series, and the soundtrack is fantastic. I still think the castle theme from this game is the best in any Mario game, competing with Dark Road from 64.
It's nowhere near perfect though. It's pretty easy, it's still short, and it's still an NSMB game. It's pretty generic, even if that's understandable since it was the first really modern platformer. It may not be as unique, but it's a solid entryin a fantastic series. It definitely is an NSMB game. Those are repetitive together, but really fun on their own. It's a tough game to hate, so yeah. Easy recommendation.

A solid Dragon Ball game. A Platformer beat-em-up was a natural choice for the series, sometimes turning into a proper fighting game. It's an adaptation of Classic Dragon Ball, which really needs the recognition. As an adaptation though, there's a couple hiccups made. Primarily, there are a couple points in the game where you're supposed to lose your battles. Against Mercenary Tao in round 1 and King Piccolo round 1. But...Not against Jackie Chun, the match that defines Goku's drive to keep training? That doesn't make sense. D: Also, Goku doesn't fight Chiaotzu in the 22nd tournament...though I guess the guy he does fight in round 1 of that wouldn't make for an engaging level.

The game's biggest flaw is that it's really repetitive. Kinda inherent to a GBA-sidescroller-beat-em-up, but it's definetly best played in short bursts. But in short bursts, it's a pretty good time. If you like Dragon Ball, this might be worth a playthrough. It's really short, so you've got nothing to lose.
