5.0 out of 5 stars Among the best, November 5, 2003
This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Video Game)
Our heroine,Arian,who is a photojournalist,falls through the crack in a volcano while out covering a story.She stumbles upon a hidden world in the center of the earth,and becomes a hostage to her new environment.Eager to return to the surface once again,she meets many interesting characters along the way.It seems everybody wants a favor from her,before she can proceed on to the next area.There are dinosaurs,giants,floating islands,submarines,blimps,suspended bridges,jungles,diamond mines,and the list goes on.The graphics are breathtaking-reminiscent of "The Longest Journey" and "Syberia",two of my all time favorite games.I'd have to put this one among those very few,rare games,that will not let you down.Though there is only one CD,don't let that fool you.It's quite a lengthy game,and Arian travels a very long way.I would have liked to have had a location icon in the inventory...it would have lessened the tedious distances.Also,the hotspots were hard to find at times,especially when...

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Live Up to its Promise, February 22, 2004

This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Video Game)
In Journey to the Center of the Earth--a game only loosely based onm the Jules Verne Novel--you play Ariane, a freelance photo journalist on a trip to Iceland. While there, an accident separates her from her helicopter and pilot. Trying to find a way out of her plight, she falls, like Alice, down a hole and discovers a whole new world. While trying to find a way back to the surface, she explores this world and uncovers a mystery.

As others have stated, JTTCOE is a third person game much in the tradition of The Longest Journey or Syberia, with a strong female protagonist on a quest that isolates her from everything familiar. As such, JTTCOE could have been a really good game. I expected it to be a really good game. There were some good things about it, even some parts that were quite enjoyable. But as a whole, it didn't please the way its predecessors did. There were too many glitches that made me think it had been rushed into release without being tested thoroughly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!, October 24, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Video Game)
I didn't know what to expect with this game but after seeing the demo decided to give it a shot, and was very pleasantly surprised. The graphics are impressive, the story is gripping, and there is a heck of a lot to see. It is a long game that kept me busy for nearly 50 hours.

Not only that, but more importantly, it was really fun. There is something very playful about the really colorful, vibrant colors that make up the palette of the settings, and there are lots of characters. This is not a lonely Myst-like game where you wander alone. You speak to many of the other characters, and interact with them. Lots of puzzles, most of which tie into the story quite nicely.

I recommend it highly! For 20 bucks, why not?
