Trombone Champ brings what you would expect if you know the flatscreen version of the game, just re-imagined for Virtual Reality, and makes a fantastic use of what is offered by the medium. You will be playing songs on a trombone, so logically you will holding the instrument in one hand and moving the slide with your other by moving it closer or further away from you. You will have bars either side that the notes travel down, moving the instruments slide will move you up the bars with the notes on (single bar also available in options), and you need to press either your controller buttons or triggers to play the note.

The team have made the choice to have backing music playing to give something you to play along to, but what I like is you can hit and play the wrong notes, and it does not just kill off your mistake – you really can make a terrible mess and terrible noises when playing songs incorrectly. Which isn’t hard because where the idea of the gameplay loop is simple, its really hard to master. One thing you might find as you start playing your first songs is, you might be looking up and down physically trying to hit the notes instead of moving the arm (or at least I did).

The team have included an all new campaign mode, which will see you playing through over fifty songs which mainly fall under the Classical genre of music. This will see each song get three challenges to complete, with the next batch of songs unlocking as you complete a set number of challenges. However, one thing I was pleased to see is that there is also a free-play mode, and this has all songs unlocked from the start. Meaning you won’t get stuck playing the same songs over and over trying to unlock them by completing the challenges in the campaign – if you don’t want to take that route.
