Description: MUST HAVE for VR arcade centers. Perfect for the first-time experience. Join the MFA and take a walk on a plank hundreds of meters above the ground, fly an enchanted broomstick around the ancient magical academy, cast spells with a magic wand and fight a fire-breathing dragon!
Review: On the whole ‘Magic Flight Academy’ does a lot of things right. It looks really good and for all of those wanting to be like Harry Potter and fly about on a broomstick, it offers a smooth ride without being overly nauseating. The idea is that you fight an evil dragon that is flying around the castle by outmanoeuvring it and shooting it with your magic. But that is all there is to do and you would have done that within just a few minutes. So then you are left wondering why you paid £5.19 for such a short experience. Now the truth is if you intend to fly around and get your money’s worth you might appreciate it more than I did, but if you like value for money and via real gameplay, you won’t get it here.
