The Wizard of Oz (iOS) review

The Wizard of Oz is a new iOS release from Spooky Cool Labs and Warner Bros. Interactive. It’s an adaptation of the company’s Facebook-based game of the same name, which was in turn an adaptation of the classic movie. The game is free to download from the App Store and carries additional in-app purchases.

We last reviewed The Wizard of Oz in its Facebook incarnation here, and noted that although it was well-presented with attractive 3D graphics, high quality music and an impressive number of clips from the original movie, its core mechanics were, for the most part, fairly unoriginal.

The Wizard of Oz is essentially a citybuilder for the most part, with players cast in the role of Dorothy shortly after her arrival in Oz following the “twister” at the opening of the movie.
