City of Dreams Manila launches “VR Swarm
Shooting Galaga Fever,” a virtual reality shooting experience as its latest VR
Zone activity produced by Japan’s Bandai Namco Amusement Inc., one of the world’s leading
video digital entertainment development companies. The newest activity at The Garage VR
Zone, which is situated at the walkway of The Shops at the Boulevard at the
upper ground, leading to The Garage VR Zone and food park is now available.
Celebrating its 38th
anniversary, “Galaga” is considered a classic video game masterpiece and one of
the most popular arcade video games since it was first released in the 1980s.
Taking on a new and exhilarating format as “VR Swarm Shooting Galaga Fever,” the
game is set to deliver an action-packed, multi-sensory, and startling
hyper-realistic experience through the top-of-class VR technology of Bandai Namco group.
“We are committed to provide compelling
attractions for families and friends of different generations, so that they can
all come together to The Garage and share a fun, memorable, and elevated
virtual reality experience with the introduction of “VR Swarm Shooting Galaga
Fever” and other VR activities. It’s an honor for City of Dreams Manila to
strengthen its partnership with Bandai Namco Amusement Inc. to continue to
raise the standard of innovative and state of the art entertainment,” COD
Manila Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President Kevin Benning stated.
Up to two participants can play the
latest VR attraction. Players will be provided with VR goggles and a VR gun, as
they play atop an elevator that will take them 150 meters into the atmosphere,
where they have to shoot down as many swarming alien attackers from Galaga as they
can. The battle ends if the elevator crashes down or if the players fail to
evade and be hit even once by the Giant Galaga’s beam.
The Garage also features another new
thrilling VR experience, the Winged Bicycle.
The two VR experiences by Bandai
Namco group are
the latest addition to The Garage’s popular VR activities:
Mario Kart Arcade GP

Winged Bicycle, which can be played by
up to four individuals, enables players to experience the thrill of flight
through riding the pedal-powered Winged Bicycle. Players have to pedal with their
legs, and fly over soaring mountain surfaces, plunge through waterfalls, and
dodge rocky cliffs along the way in order to reach the floating castle within a
certain time limit to win.
