Dancing with the Stars vs Journey
Dancing with the Stars
Dancing with the Stars sweeps you away to the dancefloor where you and your partner can win it all. Become the star as you move across the floor in beautiful routines and with steps to impress the judges. Set your own costumes and outfits and enjoy all of the pageantry of the show with many of the staff around to help you too. Open up new dance moves, costumes and many other options as you progress through this stunning and fun game.The dances themselves put you into a brilliant match 3 game where the faster you make matches the better your score. You can see your character dancing on one side and the platform for the gems on the other and this is a fun mix of styles that gets your pulse racing and your fingers moving. Listen to the music as you play and set up your avatar just the way you want. With a lot of different fun things to do there is no end to the magic of this game.
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
