Critic Reviews for Trombone Champ: Unflattened
It's hilarious rhythm game action that doesn't take itself to seriously, but if you peel back the quirks and the ridiculousness, there is a competent rhythm game humming under the hood.
Trombone Champ: Unflattened is a great conversion to VR, and a natural fit for the tech, adding yet another strong rhythm game in PSVR2's collection.
Trombone Champ: Unflattened! captures the absurdity of the original and perfectly translates it to the virtual realm. Tooting your way through songs, whether accurately or disgracefully delivers endless laughs and a delightful sense of chaos.
Trombone Champ: Unflattened takes cues from it's predecessor, and is maybe too difficult at first. Once you get the hang of it, it picks up rather nicely. It's not the pick up and laugh uncontrollably game it used to be, but it's definitely one of those get friends in the room, and watch trombonic chaos ensue.
Trombone Champ: Unflattened is one of the funniest VR experiences I've ever had, and I don't think my wife has ever enjoyed watching me play a game as much as she enjoyed me performing with a screeching cat as a trombone. This is the perfect game to hop into with a group of friends and take turns trying to earn the most toots, or just laugh at each other as you put on ridiculous performances. If you're a fan of rhythm games, definitely do yourself a favor and pick up Unflattened.
Trombone Champ Unflattened! is a hoot of a time. Being able to play all of these songs with the trombone center stage is fantastic and as silly as the game is overall, it really creates a new appreciation for the trials and tribulations of trombonists.
It might not be as intuitive as the non-VR original, but Trombone Champ: Unflattened is still a pretty fun musical game for the Quest. If anything, it just shows how well Flat2VR is able to port games to a brand new ecosystem, making them feel even more immersive than before. I didn’t mind the fact it was a bit uglier and confusing to play. At the end of the day, I was pretending to play a trombone with a dumb smile on my face, missing most notes, without a care in the world. I just can’t wait to see what else these VR wizards are up to in the near future.
Trombone Champ: Unflattened is as hilarious to play as it is to watch. This delightful addition to the rhythm game genre features a simple concept elevated by the unique trombone at its center. The comedic sound effects make it a standout production by Flat2VR. While it may not offer endless playtime, its straightforward and fun concept is undeniably charming. Given the fierce competition in the virtual rhythm game market, this achievement is no small feat.
