Review: ‘KILLING A SUPERSTAR’ is an interactive TV show of sorts that sees you trying to find out who killed the main “celebrity”. Using a combination of the 360 video and overlayed graphics, you have to move from room to room, rewinding and forwarding time to try and solve who did it. While it is all done in Chinese, there are at least English subtitles to read. It’s an interesting experience for sure and the quality of the 360 video, as well as the actors, is not bad. But there is so little content here the £9.29 price simply can’t be justified. And besides, when you finish it once, there is no point in playing it again as you know who did it and it only takes you 30-40 mins to work that out. If you manage to grab it super-cheap maybe give it a go, but paying much more than quid or two will leave you feeling short-changed.
