This is an excellent experience for space enthusiasts. However that is what it is, an experience. Do not buy this game if you want an insanely interactive Elite Dangerous style flight simulator. You get to view the astronaut's journey from the outside or the inside of the crew module and LEM, and in the interactive mode, you do get to dock the CSM to the LM, as well as land the LM on the moon. Don't get me wrong, it's enjoyable and quite emersive, however it is not extremely interactive. It does use actual audio from the mission, and it is interesting to see the spacecraft from the inside. Overall, if your a fellow NASA nerd, for this price tag, you can't do better, but don't expect insane amounts of interactivity.

Interactivity?

Played this on the rift a while back and really enjoyed it. I am a child of the fifties and remember breathlessly watching the lunar landing on tv. This is a great implementation but I am disappointed that the interactive elements have not been included on the quest. I was looking forward to nailing the docking Mapuche!!! Perhaps this could be included in an update??

Very low quality

In concept, it's a great idea — put the viewer on board Apollo 11. In execution, it's severely disappointing. The graphic models are blocky and not interactive. Most details are sketchy. The interiors have empty, unfinished areas (e.g., the capsule). A little research and effort could have provided a detailed, realistic environment. Instead, the rocket doesn't even point in the right direction during launch, unless Saturn rockets flew sideways. The audio is lifted from archive tapes with no attempt at immersive audio. There are no visual effects to indicate flight except the astronauts alone appear to vibrate vigorously as clouds sweep past, sideways. I regret buying this. There's nothing of value in this app, and calling it educational is a stretch.b

Really neat simulation!

I knew that this is one of the first things I wanted to try on my new Quest, so I tried it directly after the tutorial! It is really neat and the level of detail is pretty cool as well! I set up a very small zone and played it mostly seated but there are a couple of opportunities to get up and walk around for a better view. I liked the chapter interface too. You could just do your favorite parts over again or let friends experience smaller clips. Pretty great overall!

Amazing!!! Good Graphics

This is a long but thorough review, make sure you read to the end. I would have given it 4 1/2 due to some imperfections, but since you can’t give half stars, I will give 5 starts in order to boost its railings, because I don’t feel like it deserves the 3.6 rating it is getting. Great VR experience. Good graphics with a almost photo realistic ending. Keep reading to the end for more on that. Perfect for a “show piece” to friends and family. Not complicated to use, people don’t need to learn controls, you can just give them the headset and enjoy. There are 2 options of playing the game. One is a “cinematic” mode and the other is the “interactive” mode. Cinematic mode has no controls, so you just put on the headset and enjoy the experience. The interactive mode allows you to use controls and interact. You take control during docking, landing and moonwalk section. The experience itself if very immersive. It’s fun and really realistic. Makes you actually feel like you are part of the action. From the start you are sucked in by the Kennedy speech, when sitting in a room watching a projection video. The room is nice and very 3D and realistic. Then you get really exited at the part where you in elevator lift going up the shuttle with the astronauts omg! Then again you get exited when you get into the spaceship. The cockpit is so realistic. Blast off to space. At this point the game gets a little slow. After docking and undocking and shots of the earth etc.. it starts to feel a little slow and you think to yourself “ oh well I seen it all, no more surprises, I’m a little board!” But omg just be patient. You will get a big surprise once you get onto the moon. So basically it’s starts of really good, then gets slow in the middle just for a bit, and gets crazy again in the end. Now for the GRAPHICS. This game has good graphics. They are clean, sharp and clear. A lot of quest games due to limitations suffer from blurry and jagged graphics, especially on the sides of the screen and your vision. But not this game. It’s clear, clean and crisp almost all the way around. Textures are overall ok. But the best part of the graphics is the clearness and sharpness and crispness and 3D. But don’t think the textures are bad, they are good, but maybe just not the best You have seen, depending on how many games for quest you have played. One exception to all of this is the surprise ending, keep reading. The models are also good and the character models of the astronauts are really good. Standing next to them is a treat. On a scale of <awful/very bad/bad/decent/good/very good/exceptional>, the graphics are good to sometimes very good, basically on a scale of 1 to 7 this would be a 5 maybe sometimes a 6 in some scenes. But overall a 5 is more of a realistic rating. You can tell that there was compromises to textures, but this was done to give a clean, clear, sharp look with good astronaut character models and good light rays coming from the sun. This score is based on overall quest game graphics rating, comparing released quest games not PC. A lot of detail was given to the cockpits, reading all the switches and the altitudes and stuff actually being live and showing numbers adapting and changing as you descend and maneuver. Overall the graphics in this game are good to sometimes very good but not exceptional, but with one exception the end of the game. Now once you approach the moon and start descending, the graphics of the lunar surface are ok, the closer you get you start seeing it get less good but please wait! Remember the surprise I told you about when you land on the moon? Once you land, the scene cuts and then loads a new scene and you actually get out of the ship, Well honestly, new moon textures are loaded and the moon textures amazingly improve to the point of OMG! Once you get off and set foot on the moon, you will be blown away. It’s so realistic that you will say OMG. The textures of the moon are so sharp and realistic, almost photo realistic. It’s weird, I won’t say the textures are high detailed but more of high resolution or just very sharp. That whole scene almost looks photo realistic. The lighting and sharp textures and craters on the moon are probably one of if not the best visuals I have seen on quest. It’s so real. I felt like I was really on the moon. Take your time and look around and walk. You will be amazed.
