@salozmen29 You don't know what your missing then.

When it comes to Atari 2600 games there was no such thing as thrown together at the last minute. Programers could think up the code for a game in their heads and go to work the next day and program a game. Sadly this is just one nights brainstorm that souldn't have shown up to work the next day. You got to admit though, the opening cut-scene is sweet.

[messyvideogamenerd]

@AceEbb77 yes and the 8bit dont stop believing is epic!

[AceEbb77]

@messyvideogamenerd I know right? I love how there is something not right about it too like it's kinda out of tune, It makes me smile every time I hear it.

[messyvideogamenerd]

@AceEbb77 haha yes

[00imznotalolcat00]

wasn't there an arcade version of this back in the day?

[messyvideogamenerd]

@00imznotalolcat00 yes i hope the arcade version is better

[uzi9millimetuh]

This game is filled with Illuminati symbolism

[messyvideogamenerd]

@uzi9millimetuh really?

Owned this game, and though it was pointless, I just kept clocking in the hours thinking there was going to be a great reward at the end of it all, only to be met with it just repeating as many other games like it did at the time.

[messyvideogamenerd]

@myluk1 awesome dude. idk if i could sit through this game. they coulda did something cool for gamers troubles.

[ACrackInTheWall2006]

Journey is crap so ofcourse their video game will suck too!

Haha.. when I first saw this game in your pickup video, I thought, "Oh he's going to be so disappointed when he actually plays it." What makes this even worse is that I've heard the Journey arcade game was awesome. So a bunch of Journey fans picked up the game because either they loved the band or they loved the arcade game... and got shafted either way.

Even as a kid I remember thinking "What the hell is all this crap?" Once you know what's what, it's playable, but still not very good.

[messyvideogamenerd]

@HiroGaems lol luckily i saw a game review of it beforehand. i knew it was crappy but i think its awesome that it was based off journey lol.

[lvpepe38]
