Do Not buy unless you love torture!

I recently purchased Journey to the center of the earth. It is an inventory based game that I bought because of the promised beautiful graphics. This is a beautiful looking game that is extremely hard because it is extremely linear; if you forget to look at something or if you didn't do something in the exact order, you will not find your way to other screens. This game will be great for people who love inventory, who love to click on every single inch of the screen to find something, or find a way out of the screen. I feel the game play is outdated and the acting is babyish and the story and persons in it, illogical. The story would have made a lot of sense if she was in a coma or dreaming. I needed a walk through and the directions on the walk through were still wrong. If you like to pull your hair out and get a headache, get this game. I gave up half way because I was not enjoying the beautiful graphics. This was not fun at all.

better the adverege...

Some things don't make any sense

I enjoyed this game at times, but it aggravated me to have to rely on the walkthtough for some of the puzzles. Those I had help on would have taken weeks to figure out and the final answer so obscure that it would simply have been trial and error, no logical outcome. Also some of the items you had to combine to do stuff did not seem logical either. If you already have a knife, why would you have to combine 2 or 3 other things to do what the knife could do? Dealing with the cursor was difficult also for the same reasons mentioned in the other reviews. I would recommend this game to someone who doesn't mind relying on walkthroughs and has infinite patience. The story was interesting but loses a lot when it's so hard to play it out yourself.

TERRIBLE

I usually don't play these type of adventure games, but it did sound interesting. However, I found out very early on in the game that you have to print out the manual to start the game moving forward. The cursor with the hand that is suppose to allow you to collect items, did not work all the time. I was unable to understand what I was suppose to do inside the caves since none of the items were working.

Very disappointed in the game. I think that the maker of the game should try having people play this game before releasing it to the public, or at least test it and make sure that it works.

Buyer Beware

Be sure to read all the reviews before you buy this program (I wish I had). It may be as fun as some people claim, I don't know. I couldn't get past the first scene. I would walk a few steps, and then my computer would crash. Over and over again. I tried all the fixes recommended (not by the developers, but by other annoyed and frustrated users) and nothing worked. I have a relatively new XP machine that exceeds all game requirements. Don't waste your money on this turkey.

Waste of $

I quite playing this game when I realized I had run up against a glitch in the game that made it unwinnable. I also got sick of the random illogical puzzle. Save your money and just read the walk throughs. They are more fun than the actual game!

This Game Was Fun

THIS IS AN ENTERTAINING AND ABSORBING PC GAME - RECOMMENDED TO BUY

Unfinished, Unprofessional, Unplayable

This is junk. The "designers" have incorporated some of the worst game design mistakes in the past ten years, all in a single package. Poor voice acting, terrible pathfinding, dull art and little music or ambient noise. Worst of all, utterly broken puzzles, with no clues, no feedback, just random clicking on pylons or items scattered randomly over the landscape. This is a disaster -- did these people not do ANY playtesting??? Have they never played a game before themselves???

some good graphics, that's it

there were some cool graphics here, but other than that, it was the worst game ever. i agree with one of the other reviewers when they said "have the creaters of this game people ever played a game before?" Put it this way- i had to use the walkthrough for every single move i made. i solved the puzzles on my own, and some i thoroughly enjoyed, but the puzzles alone were not worth it. if you do decide to get this game, find a walkthrough online immediately and just use it to guide you to the puzzles (if you are like me and just enjoy tough stand-alone puzzles). But if you want a good story line and good game play, this will be your worste nightmare. navigations is unbearable at times. i got stuck numerous times as well. had to go back to a saved spot. it crashed on my a couple times too, and i lost everything because i forgot to save. stay away from this one. seriously. the gameplay and story is horrible.
