Velocity Ultra Reviews & Ratings
Truth be told, no one really asked for a PC-version of Velocity Ultra, since it offers a typical handheld experience. Even the game seems to acknowledge this, because it automatically directs you to controller buttons. And yet, when you manage to 'click' with Velocity Ultra, it's quite hard to put it down.
Computer users will desire something more, and although there are some unique mechanics here, the overall product just comes across as being pretty mediocre.
Velocity Ultra is a bog standard vertical scrolling space shooter that is saved from being entirely forgettable by some fairly interesting traversal abilities.
