Journey vs Just Dance Now
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.
Just Dance Now
Just Dance Now is a dancing simulation/rhythm game developed by Ubisoft which marked the franchise's very first appearance on the mobile platform. The game is very easy to set up and can be insanely fun to play, especially with friends. You simply need an internet-connected screen, which can be your smart TV, your computer or even an iPad, and your smartphone to play. The smartphone works as your controller and will record your movement via its gyroscope function, while the screen will show you what moves you'll need to do.The game houses over 300 hits and constantly is being updated with new songs, so you'll definitely be able to find your favorite tunes to dance to. You can even customize your own playlists of songs to dance to. Songs aren't all free however and will require time and effort to unlock. That being said, the game doesn't really have a limit on how many players who can connect to your game, allowing you to have fun playing this with your family or even with all your friends at a party.
The best feature, however, goes to Heathkit. It functions by roughly measuring how much calories you've burned per song. How cool is that?
Just Dance Now brings all the fun the Just Dance series has to offer and one-up all of them by making the game a whole lot more social and hence, entertaining. It's a crazy fun game to play even if you have two left feet.
