New demo adds customisation features, multiplayer support and better graphics.
When we first checked out the VR Karts demo we were impressed by its colourful graphics, simple controls and friendly atmosphere. Inspired by the Mario Kart series, it brings arcade-kart racing to the Oculus Rift, with charming characters and power-ups to boot.
