Capcom game chair tingles the spine

In the hypercompetitive business of game chairs, it's easy to get carried away. But at least one manufacturer is sticking to the basics.

Rather than adding more external bells and whistles, Capcom's "Reactor Video Game Chair" has concentrated on the chair itself with "eight high-impact vibrating motors" positioned in the upper and lower back as well as the seat "so that every bump or blow is felt by the gamer."

It also comes with head-mounted 3D speakers, according to Slippery Brick, but the best feature in our view is its "variable massage mode" to unwind from a particularly stressful session.

This new Reactor Game Chair looks like it will get past my wife and pose as a real chair for the family room, not like those other crazy looking chairs that sit on the floor. Massage mode, eh? Wow

I would not waste your money on this chair. It has a great design and massage mode but that is about it. You need the massage mode because the chair itself is not very comfortable due to poor padding. The edges are rough and do not seem finished. It's difficult to move the chair around. Most important to me was the sound and I was EXTREMELY disappointed by the poor sound that came out. You could probably get decent sound but you will need to hook up your own speaker system to achieve that. If you are going to spend $200 on a gaming chair, do a little research and spend it on another gaming chair that has good quality, sound, is comfortable..
