You'll find that it's not really "virtual reality" but more like improv. I'd say it's well worth the space (it's not really that much) but it will take some time to set up per directions (took me about 90 minutes to download), and when you've had enough burn it to DVD.

I am tempted to try it, as I explore the deeper question (to me, anyway) of whether interaction with virtual reality is easier than it is in real life. Especially in the point of interacting with people and how it affects the "gamer" as well as what part of our fantasy are we willing to assign to other people (programmers) to choreograph. Is this easier, more gratifying to use the tool of software than using the mind alone? While we are used to comparing interactivity to the static or more accurately, the uncontrollable nature of let's say, movies or television (or books, I guess, without the imagery that the other two provide for us), how does it compare to reality now that it is getting nearer and nearer to the real deal?
