Pros
Pro 3rd person platformer without the need to control the camera
Lucky's tale is a 3rd person platformer (much like Mario 64) that normally requires manual control of the camera. By creating the game for VR the user will not need to mess around with camera controls while also needing to control the character as the camera is your head. As you move your head the camera moves, which is not only a lot more intuitive but takes the multitasking out of the gameplay leaving the player to concentrate on controls only.
Pro Unlimited replayability

Pro Unique community rules
There is an actual sanctioning body for the game called FIRST that keeps players in line making for a non toxic community that behaves professionally. If a player races aggressively or continually breaks the rules of the rod their license will receive infractions that will soon label that person as one to stay away from.
Cons
Con No release date
There is still no release date for this game even though Oculus has been released.
Con Expensive as it requires a subscription plus additional costs
iRacing requires a subscription that starts at $6/mo. as well as has costs for extra cars and tracks. Overall an expensive game to play for those that want to experience all of the content on offer.
Con Difficult to play with a gamepad
The controls for the game are very precise and in being so is best played with a driving wheel with petals and a shifter. Trying to play with a gamepad does work but will really inhibit the players controls especially if they are competing in online races.
