Journey
Journey
I can still remember this game
at the arcade. I laughed at it then and I still laugh at it. It is probably one
of the dumbest games made. At least now I can play it for free and get all the
way to the concert. I remember someone telling me about this awesome concert if
you got all the way through the game. I kept thinking it was a game based on
Journey, so how could there be an awesome concert? Maybe if I was a teenage
girl. Well, I didn't bother back then trying to see the concert, I mean there
were much better games to play.
For anyone who hasn't played this game, your
mission is to have each band member retrieve their musical instrument and head
back to the ship. Once all five band members have done this, you go off to a
concert with a looping song and a bunch of girls rushing the stage. Boy am I
glad I didn't waste too much money trying to see this.
The characters in the game look silly. Each one
has this huge digitized head attached to a little video game body. Sorta like a
video game version of bobbing heads, only with rock stars. It is enough to evoke
laughter in anyone who remembers the group. This alone makes the game
worthwhile.
The actual gameplay is repetitive as you have to
get your players through a series of obstacles, be it a platform or flying
through a cave. Once you retrieve the instrument, the game changes and a new
challenge appears. Nothing is more frustrating than getting all the way to the
instrument, only to die on the way back. It is enough to make you erase the game
forever.
Overall, it is a dull game with less than
thrilling gameplay. It is a fun conversation piece and good for an occasional
laugh. Beyond this, you are better off putting on a Journey album (always
available at thrift stores) and move around some GI Joes or something.
This is just a review of the
arcade machine. If you are looking for the actual arcade machine, you may want
