Review: I have to be honest and tell you I wasn’t expecting much from this experience as previously released National Geographic VR experiences have been little more than collections of 360 videos. But this is actually pretty great! With great looking 3D graphics and interesting things to do in each of the three main sections it really is a pleasant surprise for it to be this good. The only thing I didn’t like is just how quickly it is all over. Maybe 30 mins max of content for the asking price and I personally think that is simply not enough. Sure, its good while it lasts, but it doesn’t last long at all.
