You can drop into the shoes of a huge range of artists, and use them in a variety of songs as your avatar. Play guitar, drums and sing your way through some much loved classics, and new releases as you play the career or more casually in a brilliant addition to the much loved music making series.Discover a whole new group playing experience where you can just drop in or out of the game in the middle of a song. Unlock new songs by completing the previous one and play online or offline with your friends for fun or high scores. With new instruments, songs and characters to be there is a lot for you to enjoy in this fun 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.
