Scoop, pour and burn your way to mastery in the HoloLAB. Your holographic host Earl and his sidekick Meyer guide you through a series of mini-labs that lead up to an ultimate lab challenge. Score achievements and do your best to earn an elemental trophy in this amazing Labstravaganza.
Review: While at its heart ‘HoloLAB Champions’ is an educational game it doesn’t stop it from being a good laugh for anyone to play as well. You play the role of a game show contestant who gets points and prizes for mixing the right things together in the right way and in the right amounts. While you are not entirely free to do what you want there is a certain level of freedom here to muck about a bit. It looks great and all the characters and things are well animated plus you will often learn something here without noticing and that is my kind of educational input. Its 100% free and well worth look, even if you don’t want to grow up to be a chemist.
