Magnificent Ships: Volume 2

I love ships so bought both. This is very good! My favorite is the Victory. So much detail it is fun to explore. I like the dolphins and watching ice break. The ships even light up at night! Will there be volume 3?

From the same people who brought you "VROOM: GALLEON", this is essentially just a detailed 3D model of various ships with some added effects. Spending $10 on it might be a bit much since there's no game here, but each ship is pretty well modeled (on the exterior anyway) and you can even go below the water level to get a look at the hull, rudder and propellers/screws. It's pretty much the same thing as Volume 1 (and you can read that review for more details rather than just copy-pasting it all from one review to the other). You get 6 ships to choose from: an 18th British Warship, US Aircraft Carrier (complete with planes flying off the deck), Jacques-Yves Cousteu's famous ship (the Calypso), the Ocean Liner Queen Mary 2, a WWII German U-Boat, and a Coast Guard Ice breaker ship. You can change the time of day/night which is nice and for each ship there's an extra event you can trigger that sorta demonstrates some of it's power and abilities. You can also sail a mini Remote Control ver...

it good and it fun

It is an interesting experience in VR, but it just seems off. The scale of the ships doesn't quite match up and everything seems smaller. The ships look fine from a distance but the details seem to fade as you get closer to them. You can fly around the exterior of the ships and kind of see what it's like on them. The problem is that if you look closely at the detailing, some of the items on the deck seem out of place and almost as if they look appropriate but don't do anything. The carrier was the first place that I noticed things that seemed odd. The "Island" seemed relatively small compared to the rest of the ship and there is an empty room at the bottom and aft which seems to serve no purpose. It might have been cool to see hatches, writing, or some kind of interior area. The elevators didn't seem to match up with the lines on the flight deck and the hangar seemed empty. The cruise liner seemed like it would have been interesting but some things seemed off. There is a single room wh...

[h1]Similar Experience to Volume 1- I Liked It, but I Still Want a Snap-Turn[/h1] I just posted my review below verbatim from what I wrote for volume 1. Essentially, I felt that the pluses and minus are the same. Played on Oculus Rift CV1 with Touch controllers. I don't have a particular interest in ships or maritime history, so I was reluctant to pick this up. Since I like casual VR experiences, and all the reviews are positive, I thought I'd give this one a try. I purchased a bundle (Volumes 1 and 2). The wave effects and time of day changes are excellent. I wouldn't mind a little more resolution on some of the ship textures, but they still look good. I have enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from several of the ships. I also had fun playing with the model ships in the park. My only major complaint is the lack of a snap-turn option. I have 360 tracking, but I'm still tethered. Few things break immersion more than constant worry about a wire tangling and twisting. The fact th...
