VR Battleship YAMATO Reviews

Very nice. I play World of Warships and it was nice to take a stroll around this massive ship. Please let me know if you make another ship or related content.

GREAT GAME!!!! WONDERFUL JOB!!! And I truly hope to see more IJN ships like destroyers, heavy cruisers, other battleships and carriers in the future, especially the carriers, they are my favorite. I love this extraordinary game, it provided me an unforgettable experience during this pandemic era. Thank u guys!!!!!!

Wow. I have just been through the entire visit. It was impressive and well worth the money. You would pay that to visit an old battleship and now I can do it from home AND I was the guest of honour by the Admiral. A great experience. I am glad that I bought it.

I spent way too much on this tour. Not as much as actually going somewhere and on a tour mind you, but a significant amount for what this is. But i don't really feel ripped off so its worthwhile if you are interested in this. Its not for the casual person looking for cost efficient VR experiences though. A bit old, a bit clunky in parts, some language issues and such. But its hard to deny its neat if you want to see what it may have been like on the Yamato before it went pearl diving.

I bought this game, even though it is more like a historical tour on sale, hoping it would be a good spend. It is fully worth the price, even at full price. There is honestly nothing else like this. Anyone interested in naval history and owns a VR headset should buy this, it is a must have! I cannot recommend it enough.

Nice tour and very informative. It is a shame they were not able to make the ship rock with the ocean. As a retired sailor, that would have upped the immersion sense tremendously. I hope more tours like these become availablr in the future.

I'm joining the others with very positive reviews on Yamato. If you are a history or ship buff, this is a wonderful experience. I spent 65 minutes on my first time in, saw the gunnery demo, and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It's not for everyone. You just get to wander around a subset of the ship, but there are guides to explain what things are and how things work, guide signs to point your way, and seeing it all in real life size 3D is stunning. When you get up at the top of the fire control tower and look down over the ship, it's a long way down. Those with fear of heights will no doubt experience it. It's not a game. It's a history tour of a ship that you can never tour in real life. She was sunk in April, 1945. The attention to detail is amazing and I really wish I could get closer to the Mitsubishi F1M "Pete" aircraft on the deck and in the hanger. They are beautiful! I only wish the engine room was open for tour. That would be very cool. Highly recommended. If you want to see both how big and how small these ships were, it's a must-see educational experience and a wonderful use of VR to put you on the ship. Excellent work.

I have served as a deck officer on an exploration ship and had the fortune to work with people who had found TITANIC, among other historic wrecks. This is not a game. It is a historic tour. The attention to detail, the thousands of hours that must have gone into the custom models and researching the history are appropriately represented in the price tag, given the smaller target audience. PROS: The ship appears painstakingly, faithfully recreated. I'm curious to see how far that goes - I would not be surprised to find the framing and joinery reasonably represented. I was surprised at the subtle detail in the culture and procedure that was represented. Both in the explanations of daily life and even diet, as well as observing the procedure for gunnery practice I learned an incredible amount. It shows even some obvious points that you really wouldn't think of without being there: looking at the bow and realizing the draft marks were metric (I'm used to reading feet and inches) for example, and then seeing she's drawing about the proper 30-some feet. CONS: The audio translation appears to be voiced by a very monotone text-to-speech engine. The subtitles sometimes exhibit errors in grammar and technical word choice. (This is not a game, and has a very specific, often technical, researcher, or military target audience). While there is apparent incredible attention to detail, I have no easy means of assessing the authenticity of the details aside from one-by-one. I'm curious now to confirm if they really would use a bugle aboard. While the English translation was sufficient to make this an enjoyable ship to visit, it is clear I am missing and incredible amount as I do not speak Japanese.

While on the product page it says a VR headset is required, it is not. They already patched it to support regular computer monitor. I highly recommend this....well, it is not a game but more of a virtual museum. I love navy ships and have visited several museum ships in the US, such as USS Midway, Iowa, and Lexington. These great ships were built to fight the Japanese Imperial Navy. However, none of their rivals remain existing in this world. The majority of the Japanese Imperial Navy's ships had been sunk by the US force during the war, including Yamato. Others were either destroyed by the GHQ after the war was over or nuked during Operation Crossroads. There are no WW2 Japanese museum ships to visit. This software is the best and arguably the only way for now to visit a Japanese Navy battleship. You can see those chambers and equipment you typically can see in a US battleship museum like the Iowa, but aesthetically and functionally different as it is a Japanese design. It is a pity that the promised expansion never happened, but the content available for now still worth every penny.

As a WWII avid naval historian, I found the ability to explore the Yamato as a sincere lifetime acomplishment. I have visited most all the WWII naval museams in the US and England. I love the BB 55 and wish this same experiance could be had on mulpitple ships. As it is, you can really get the feel of being on the biggest battleship ever afloat. Wonderful job and I hope more VR historical experiances come out similiar to this one.
