He’s on the iPhone, obviously…

A Where’s Wally? game is an idea that’s easy to baulk at, but the more you play it the more it makes sense. The iPhone’s screen has more than enough definition to show all the tiny details, and e interface is certainly capable of scrolling around large ages, as anyone who’s used the built-in Maps and Photos apps will tell you. Throw in a bit of animation to differentiate it om the books and muddy things up as you search, and you have a perfect combination.

Any complaints are more a fault of the subject matter as are the game, because as an adaptation it’s pretty much flawless. We can imagine that extended play sessions might lay havoc with your eyes, and once you’ve been through it nce there’s little reason to go back beyond beating it with faster times, but while it lasts The Fantastic Journey is a superb adventure for all ages.
