Journey vs Music Hero
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.
Music Hero
Music Hero is a pretty fun music rhythm game that you can play on your mobile. It features a simple 3-line tapping system where you will need to tap on the notes as they reach the bottom. The more accurate you are, the higher score you'll get. Aside from the flashy animations and brilliant effects, the notes are synced to the music as well, at least the ones available on the app.That being said, Music Hero is perhaps the only app on Google Play to allow you to add your own music to the game and play it. In this case, the notes may not sync at all, but well, at least you can actually play the songs you like!
The game also comes in 3 difficulty levels but if you're a veteran at this sort of rhythm-based tapping games, you might find the game a bit less challenging. However, this means that Music Hero is a great game for new, entry-level players to enjoy the genre.
