Yawn...
Awesome graphics, very confusing and very repetitive. I was expecting alot more. This would have been better as a none interactive backdrop movie.

It's hard to describe
Journey is an amazing adventure unlike any other. The visuals are amazing and better than almost all of the mainstream games. This game is an amazing journey that takes you through sprawling deserts and gives you a great sense of enchantment. There is absolutely no dialouge whatsoever, but this game does not need it to tell a good story. This game proves that the PS3 is better than XBox.

Amazing
There is no dialogue throughout the entire game, you spend long periods of time walking around in a desert alone (or with somebody else who you cannot speak to), and it takes about three hours to beat the game. So why would somebody ever bother buying this game? It is beautiful, it is touching. It is hard to even call it a video game as it is more like an experience. You play as a cloaked figure with no knowledge of where you are or what is going on. Your only goal is to reach the mountain far off in the distance. The gameplay is great but at times it does get slow at points. The soundtrack is perfect and the graphics are beautiful. And despite being a rather short adventure, a second, third, and even fourth journey are just as enjoyable. Thatgamecompany delivers a simple yet elegant experience like no other. If you are a PS3 owner, you must at least consider getting Journey.

Beautiful.
This was a beautiful game. The simplicity of the controls, objectives, graphics, and of the journey itself all make the game not just easy to enjoy, but makes it better overall. My symbolic interpretation of this game made it much more beautiful, and when applied the the amazing multiplayer, made it even MORE beautiful. The ending scene (which I will not spoil) was just so amazing with the two of us, two strangers who met with no names, no communication, and no way to tell who we were. In fact, the partner I was with (For only the last half of the game, yet still an amazing experience) ended up being French or Japanese, speaking that language only. I'm not sure which user it was, but either way, it's a game that reaches across the barriers of language and more advanced communication.

This game is definitely one great journey.
Journey is the definition of a perfect game. It's simplistic nature is intriguing but the game's world comes alive as you travel further and further. It's amazing to experience a game where you are given zero instruction, zero dialog, and left to discover the world for yourself in your own way. Their seamless multiplayer experience is unlike anything ever before, which all together makes Journey the best game ever made.

Beautiful.
Completely worth the $15 I spent on it. A wonderful example of how video games really can be a form of art.

Emotionally Stunning Experience
There are some things I hold true in my philosophy of gaming and to be quite honest, this game is almost violating them completely, but what i get is not an abomination I hate, but something else. Don't think this is something face meltingly fun like Rock Man x3 and it has very simple controls that would fit on the NES. Still the gameplay is fun and despite being short I play it everyday again. Everything is beautiful, and despite the fact that it's limited controlling and simple objectives, this game does become very enjoyable though some might not enjoy it. For what its worth this game gets a perfect ten simply because it's something I haven't seen before and with all the stock conventions in the game industry today, this game really stands out in being unique.

Ranks among the top experiences available on PS3
Journey is an absolute must play for any gamer, as well as any non-gamer. Featuring an engaging world, a haunting original score from Austin Wintory, an incredible and beautiful graphical pallet, and an intense understanding of emotion and player interaction, Journey is the best fifteen dollars anyone could ever spend on the Playstation store. Through 3 play-throughs, I've experienced only some minor technical problems and one glitch. The Co-Op is a phenomenal and unobtrusive addition, making each and every Journey unique. Next to Uncharted 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, this the best Playstation 3 game I have ever played, and one of the best games I have ever played across my 16 year gaming career. Journey is fresh, unique, emotional, and extremely engaging and gives me new hope that video games are a sophisticated medium of interactive entertainment.

Worth every penny and more...
It's rare that a game has me moved to tears without spending discs building an attachment to the characters and storyline involved. Journey managed to emotionally move me in only two and a half hours with no dialogue whatsoever. The stunning visuals and perfect musical accompaniment make this a rare gem in a sea of so-so and 'meh' games. With literally no direction, barest of tutorials and nothing told, you are drawn into a land and adventure that truly embodies the spirit of gaming as an art form. While I am torn between wanting DLC so as I can revisit this engrossing world, and not wanting more so as to keep it pure and simply 'is', I can say without exaggeration that this game is worth every cent of the small purchase price and then some. You will feel entranced every moment you spend on this Journey, elated at its climax and sorrowfully accomplished at its conclusion.

stunningly beutiful
this game has the most beutiful sights I have ever witnessed in a video game. The sight of you sliding down a mountain a mountain of sand along side hundreds of magic bird kites and dragons and jellyfish made of ribbons was soo beutiful that I couldnt fight back my smile.
