I really think this is a great concept for VR, but currently it is unusable. As another review mentioned, only one of the experiences worked but it had major graphical glitches as was extremely low resolution. I had to ask for a refund in its current state, but I will keep my eye on it and will re-purchase if the problems can be resolved. As an ancient history buff this could be one of the best uses for VR I could think of, if it were in better shape graphically and had a better control scheme. I would love to come back and give this a positive review in the future, please keep working on it, there is some great potential here.

Only the lighthouse woud load and work, the other 6 just flashed you right back to the lobby. the rowboat ride as nice for 3 seconds then got dull. Got a refund. not a keeper in my library. sorry...

I got this app on sale for $1.59 USD in a recent steam sale. Is this app worth that much? I think so, but just barely. The main problem with this app is that the graphics / cinematic experiences are very low quality. These are PS2/ Xbox 360 level graphics. It really takes away from the experience. Each of the 7 experiences did load for me without any problems (although exiting was another matter, I had to quit the app to get out of each experience). Each experience lasted from 2-3 minutes each. So there isn't a lot of content here. The narrator gives some interesting factoids, but even the backstories for each of these 7 wonders is very limited. So if you're really curious about the 7 ancient wonders, then I think I can recommend this app. Honestly, nobody will probably recreate this experience. So it's the only game in town, even if it's not particularly well done. Sale Price Rating: 5/10 buy for the educational experience on sale only if you're really interested in the...

I figured this might be a cool, educational program about the Seven Wonders of the ancient world and a chance to pretend you could go see them before they were destroyed (by fire, earthquake and enemy attacks). Unfortunately this is a very early VR style, and it's not 2016 anymore so nobody is gonna be that impressed by this program now. Even in 2016 it would have been pretty lackluster but the novelty of VR would have given it a bit of a boost. I put up with so many crappy programs in 2016 just because it was in VR and it was cool and new. So anyway, this one starts out on a bad foot. I launch the program and it doesn't let me use my controllers. I have to use the headset gaze method of selecting things and letting a bar fill up to finalize the selection. Basically it now feels like a phone VR game. Strike 1. I go ahead and start on the first wonder on the left (The lighthouse of Alexandria) and it's not that impressive. It's narrated decently, but I have no idea how accura...

Hmm. I cannot solidly recommend these experiences. When I first bought it, it was almost completely non-functional. I gave it about 4 years to get better, and although you do now get 7 functional experiences, they are, to be honest -- meh. The store video and photos are much more brightly lit than what you get in the game. In actuality, the Temple of Artemis and the Statue of Zeus were in almost complete blackness, so I felt more like I touring Odysseus' storage shed rather than witnessing a Wonder of the Ancient World. For the other exhibits, there just was no -- wonder. Perhaps it was the cheap textures or perhaps the scale was off, but none of it felt epic. Instead of feeling like I was standing beneath a towering structure, it felt more like I was simply very, very close to a tiny building prop in a video game. The Lighthouse At Alexandria, the Pyramid of Giza, even the Colossus Of Rhodes (!) felt... miniscule. The sensation was as if I had clipped through an invisible ...

Very interesting experiences! The narration complements the experience very well
