I can't really recommend playing 'Iron Man VR.' There are thrilling moments, no doubt, where you feel powerful. And I'm shocked that I never felt sick even with all the high-speed, spinning aerial combat. But there are some real down sides. It is exhausting to play because it is so high intensity. Using two move controllers (notorious for their limited controls), you have to both fly and fight waves of enemies at high speeds in all three dimensions of motion. The entire game is probably about eight hours long but, because of the intensity, it took me weeks to finish it.

Also the load times are atrocious. Several minutes to load a level even when refreshing the level after you die. And then, after you reach 100% loading, the screen goes black for another 30 to 40 seconds where you begin to wonder if the game crashed.

Finally, I'm convinced the developers are mistaken about how easy it is to control your flight. There are obstacle course time trials in this game and I consistently require, literally, TEN TIMES the amount of time recommended by the developer. 'Iron Man VR' is a decent effort in need of more polish.
