Description: Experience Adventure Time like never before! Magic Man’s Head Games is a unique virtual reality game that transports you into the Land of Ooo. That jerk, Magic Man, is messing with you! Use Finn’s sword and Jake’s stretchy powers to chase down Magic Man and break his curse.

Review: Adventure Time: Magic Man’s Head Games is a platform-style mini-adventure that sees you trying to have a picnic. Of course, this is the land of Ooo and nothing is ever that simple. Finn, Jake, Magic Man and even Lumpy Space Princess with her lovely lady humps makes an appearance with wonderfully crafted character models and the same voice talent from the show.

you have to battle evil sandwiches and gnomes by using your sword or Jake’s powers to stretch, glide, and smash them. The graphics look exactly like the cartoon and there are even some crazy VR built scenes to make it even more immersive. Gameplay-wise there is a definite retro platformer style and feel to it and you will feel right at home with the controls. Even the Jake grabbing and parachute sections are pretty easy to control.

While you might pick small holes in the sparseness of some of the levels, this games main problem is that it is far too short. But is that such a bad thing? It just means you crave more and one day more might well come. So I say take what you are given and enjoy it while it lasts! Much like the cartoons of Adventure Time, this game will be a hit or very misunderstood. If you love the cartoons this is a must! But for those who haven’t seen the show or simply didn’t understand it is best to give this game a miss.
