It’s been some time since we’ve seen a flashy new virtual reality title. But Defector, a new Oculus Rift exclusive from Wilson’s Heart maker Twisted Pixel, is here to remind us that there’s still plenty of exhilarating, over-the-top concepts VR has yet to adequately explore. The game puts players in the shoes of a Mission Impossible-style spy who must outmaneuver a global crime syndicate, all while going undercover, shooting bad guys, engaging in fist fights, and — as the trailer makes clear — pulling off ludicrous stunts like driving a car out of the cargo bay of a flying airplane.

The plot may not be all that original. And in my short time with the game’s demo earlier this month, I can reliably say that Defector is more an homage and tip of the hat to spy thriller and action franchises like James Bond and The Fast and the Furious. But it is a strong testament to how much more fun those tropes and reused storylines can be when you get to act them out in VR.
