This Is A Very Good 3D Simulation / The Graphics Are Great And The Narration Excellent / By The Time I Got The Micro Rover To Its Spot The Storm Was Over and I Was Asked To Steer The Micro Rover Back This Did Not Turn To The Right Usually / After Asking Me To Touch highlighted Items For An Explanation The Narrator Wants Me To Leave in each Case Before I Am Finished / Also The Explanation Comes Up On A Screen , Would Have Been Better If The Narrator Voiced This / I Wait With Anticipation For What The Developer Brings To Our VR future : )

Very well done. Something I would have paid extra for at a museum. Good sound, visuals, and voice acting.
It wasn’t intuitive that you had to “click” the hologram above your hand with the other hand, but it didn’t take long to figure out. Hope that helps someone.
Best part: Ominous dust storm!

Amazing, very cool experience. My wife doesn’t like going to the museum or other ilk, but she loved this. Her and I both learned something and had alot of fun. The Holodeck was one of our favorite parts.

Interesting experience, but a bit short and controls were not always very precise. Still, you can stand on mars.

Very short, but nonetheless nice experience. Fair for subcription. Oculus Rift controls felt a little odd and did not match the voiceover. Took me a while to get used to.

Naja… da hätte ich mir lieber ein anderes Spiel ausgesucht für diesen Monat im Abo.
Man wird durch eine Raumstation geführt und kann mit so gut wie nichts interagieren. Nur die Knöpfe zum Türen aufmachen. Wenn man dann auf dem Mars ist kann man 2 minispiele spielen und sich umgucken. Die Marslandschaft ist auch nicht beeindruckend dargestellt. Da finde ich den kostenlosen Titel Destinations von Valve besser.

La aplicación nos lleva a los lugares de aterrizaje (amartizaje) de distintas sondas espaciales, las cuales tienes que reparar de forma un tanto simplona, restando así protagonismo al propio planeta. Me quedé con las ganas de pasear por el monte Olimpo. Me pareció mucho mas interesante la introducción a modo de sala holográfica.

The slow movement with the black shutter effect gets a little tedious if I just want to move around. The graphics are average and the “game” or experience isn’t massively in depth. A good experience for children to learn but that’s about it I’m afraid.

OMG — crash after crash. The first time I launched it, my computer crashed to a blue screen. Once I rebooted, I crashed again when I pressed the button to open the viewer for Mars. The third time I crashed and rebooted, was when I pressed the button to enter the library room from the corridor. There is something seriously wrong with the code for this program. Perhaps if I purchased it through Steam I wouldn’t have this problem? I was on my Vive for hours today, and this is the only program that crashed my system. Very disappointing.
