I was inspired to play this game after I've read an article on how a bloke lost over 54lbs from playing this game, every day for an hour for 3 months. I've always been a big guy but with lock down happening I was at my heaviest and decided to change this. I've never been a gym going type as frankly, I don't like environment or the people that goes there. So far from playing this, my arms are sore and I lost almost 14lbs in weight by playing this game for an hour a day and monitoring on what I eat. The game certainly will make you sweat. I love the fact that the game uses YouTube API so you can box along to whatever song you want for free. If there are no maps available, you can make your own and share it with others! This game is a hidden little gem and I urge everyone to check this out. The game works perfectly fine with WMR headsets, no mapping required as menu buttons are pointer based.

After playing just 2 songs, I would already recommend this game. However, I would recommend you check out the points below before you decide to get this game. I would like to compare this game with Audioshield as they are both quite similar. Pro: - Gameplay wise, this game is superior compare Audioshield. The punching/boxing on the notes simple gives more kick compare to Audioshield. - Has better UI looking compare to Audioshield. - Has the ability to create your own notes into the music. Personal Preference: (some people may like this, some may not) - More workout compare to Audioshield. Just playing 2 songs and I am sweating like crazy. Con: It doesn't auto generate notes like how Audioshield did. You can either create the notes yourself, or play a song where other people had already created the notes. This means that some song that you like you may not be able to play it or it simply sucks because the person who created it doesn't know how to properly create it. That being said, some of the popular songs are really fun to play, cheers for whoever created them. Overall/TLDR: Audioshield is still a superior product compare to this due to the fact that you can simply play any song you like from YouTube. However the gameplay in soundbox is more fun compare to audioshield. If you can only get one, get Audioshield, but I highly recommend both.

Soundboxing is not just a game, its a workout! Playing Soundboxing will get very exhausting especially for your arms and it will definetly make you very sweaty! The fact that you wear an HMD while getting physically active obviously makes that even worse. After longer play sessions (30+ min) you might want to take off the HMD because it's getting a bit uncomfortable. The name already says what makes it so special compared to other VR music games. The harder you punch the orbs with the motion controllers, the more points you will get! You can search for any song on youtube and create your own challenge for it or try to beat challenges that other players have created. The good thing about that is that you can make an accurate beat syncronization that really let's you feel your music how you like it while other automatic algorithms from games like Audiosurf, Audioshield and many more might fail to capture that feeling. If there is no challenge for a song you need to create your own because Soundboxing has no automatic algorithm. Each challenge has its own high score board. You will get an ingame message when someone beat your highscore. You can add challenges to your favourites and also you can create your own playlists now. While playing you can see a big screen where the music video is playing and you can select between a variety of beautiful background enviroments which creates a great atmosphere! The haptic feedback of the controllers also does a great job and supports the feeling of getting into the beat quite well. Sometimes I had some issues with the ingame pointer and a few crashes but apart from that there's nothing to complain about. Soundboxing is a great workout game with a high replay value and its absolutely worth the price of 7,99€!

There should be many of these on VR, This game is perfect for me to burn thr extra Kcals after a gym session, its a good challange, the idea is simple. Link you tube to them game, watch videos and throw punches but it works really well. what id love to see to make me push my self more a Lcal burner that tells you how much you burned off and keeps a log of it on your profile , that would be awsome. the game is worth the money

Holy moly. This was great. I don't want to say it is better than Audioshield, it is just a little bit different. First the bad: I encountered a bug where some videos would slow down, and the sound was distorted. You could also see the timer went slower, so.. memory leak perhaps? Other videos worked great. Audioshield vs Soundboxing: If you like Audioshield, you will enjoy this game as well. In the latest update, Audioshield discontinued Soundcloud support and implemented Youtube instead. Audioshield also has an automatic beat detection feature for unplayed songs, where Soundboxing is manual. The good thing about Soundboxing, is that you can create a completely new "beat map" if you don't like the existing one. Intensity intensifies: Audioshield has a nice feature where you can choose difficulty, and you can also find mods online to replace the existing difficulty settings. In Soundboxing you need to kind of figure out the difficulty level yourself. If you see a song that is 3:20 minutes, but it has 600+ beats / punches, then you know it will be intense. So that gives you an idea of how difficult the song is. If no one has played that song before, then (some will say unfortunately) you need to make your own beat map. You need to stand and punch at the beats however you see fit. Missing In the future, I would like to see the following: [*] Favorites [*] Genre selection [*] Region based high scores
