Description: Wizard Ball is a Virtual Reality team sports game for the Rift Touch and Vive where players fly on broomsticks and pass a ball between them to score goals while dodging spells. Six degrees of freedom and physics-based ball control makes for a great e-sport!
Review: It doesn’t matter what ‘WizzBall’ pretends to call itself this is just Quidditch VR without a licence. This isn’t the first Quidditch game for our VR headsets and it probably won’t be the last. Sadly this is a game that I don’t recommend at all. It’s not just the lack of online players (even though the AI suck) it is more about the game as a whole. It’s just so jerky and poor quality. In a game like this easy of controls and the game being fun to play are king and this game just doesn’t have either. Maybe I am missing the point to it and it is far more fun to play with friends. But I wouldn’t want any friend of mine paying anywhere near the £7.19 asking price. A good try for a Quidditch game I suppose, but still not good enough.
