hey what's up guys mkbhd here back with a Halloween video review and a video that I can promise you is going to be pretty unique to this channel in fact I promise you this is the only iOS app review you'll probably see in 2010 on the mkbhd youtube channel which definitely means it's worth something so without any further ado let's take a look this application is called wiki golf and it's based on a really popular concept where basically you visit a Wikipedia page and you use links on that Wikipedia page to get to a certain other Wikipedia page in a certain amount of clicks so I have it installed on this iOS device and I won't even tell you the name of it you can probably figure that out but it's really a wealth polished and well made game and can provide quite a bit of entertainment for the on sale price right now of just $1 I don't know some of you have already clicked out of this video thinking you don't want to pay to play wiki golf but stay tuned this review might change your mind like any other app review like I do on the droid Dawg YouTube channel for Android applications I show the settings of the application but ready really that's just the how to play section and like I explained earlier it's just like going from hole to hole basically on Wikipedia it's a whole one you have to get to the European Union and when it says par-4 if you've ever played golf that means you have four clicks to get to the European Union it'll start you off on some random obscure thing you might not have heard of row but you'll have to get to four four clicks to get to the European Union basically if you get it in three clicks that's obviously one under par a birdie for clicks is par-5 clicks is a bogey if you ever forget what your target is or just don't know what the European Union is I don't know how that's possible that you can go ahead and click the name at the top like I just showed you and it'll give you a little picture from the Wikipedia definition at the bottom it'll also tell you how many strokes you've taken and the amount of strokes you have for par so right off the bat I have no idea how to get out of row 2 Europe so I'll just click the first thing and we'll see where that takes us so you can see here is that we've taken our first shot and basically everything in blue which is clickable that is a link to another Wikipedia page is an opportunity for a second shot you can scroll down and expand all the subcategories in the bottom to find a whole bunch more links and there's a whole bunch of popular places where people like to find links like in history there might be a bunch of countries named or there might be something you need to get to that that's in the function section or something like that so there's a lot of a lot of cheats people like to use to get to things quickly and to get a really little score there's also a search function at the bottom right hand corner which really makes playing a game a lot more fun basically you can search any term so I'll go ahead and search country here and it'll go ahead and highlight every single time it uses the word country in that article unfortunately it doesn't use the word country in this word or in this article so I'll try a number of other terms but you can't actually use arrow to get to the next highlighted word you actually have to scroll to get to the next high highlight so it's not really cheating it just helps point out words you need to see more easily so you can see it on a next shot here we've gotten to the page about DNA and I feel like there's gonna be some scientist here who made some contributions towards DNA that was from Europe so I guess that was a pretty good choice wonderfully these guys here were European also note that you can't click on the picture because it leads to outside of Wikipedia so you actually have to click on that blue link like I mentioned earlier to get to the next hole or to the next stroke alright so in the end here after we finish the game and finish the last hole obviously I did terribly on the last hole but you can see that I got a total of 44 which was 5-under par so I'm so proud of myself and I actually do want to share this score because I've never actually finished a full nine holes before so you can go ahead and submit now once you submit your score globally it will be under your name and also when I do this video here there's obviously not much people have played but when you go now a whole bunch of people more than 70 people in fact are on the global leaderboards that you can view just with a single touch so that's really cool you can view that overall it's cool that this game can be played on an ipod touch one there's Wi-Fi and I got to say it's the only I Oh s only game that I've actually become addicted to since Angry Birds came to Android sadly enough I just discovered that game yesterday anyway until next time this has been mkbhd with a scary iOS Halloween app review and until next time talk to you later peace you
