Gizmodo Takes the Lenovo VR Set on a Test Drive

Going toe-to-toe with Darth Maul in melee combat or commanding ground troops to retake ships is thrilling, but the package’s clunky, cluttered setup presentation wastes too much time in drawing in players.

Challenges has three gaming modes: Trial of Combat, using the lightsaber to face off in melee combat, Trial of Insight, basically holographic chess, and Trial of Leadership, a Starcraft-esque action/strategy game.

The lightsaber battles are a fun, faithful realization of the tech.
Setup takes entirely too long and having to charge 4 separate devices to play sucks.
There’s not enough depth to the games to keep older players entertained, but $200 is quite pricey for a kids game.
You unlock new lightsaber colors and that became a real motivator in finishing challenges.
