Customer Reviews

Classy production, Assy gameplay
A decent setup promises adventure gamers a good time getting lost in space, but that quickly disappears before you can even get out of your spaceship, as the gameplay throughout is very tedious, relying on mixing chemicals and huge inventory management to pursue some of their puzzles..The artwork, voice acting, and overall production value was a pleasent homage to the spirit of the material, but as usual, gameplay falls flat of the "experience" Verne had wished his readers to take..I continue to applaud adventure game developers for at least taking their cues from great works of fiction, hopefully one day they will able to do these great works of imagination video game justice...

Pleasant and not extremely difficult
This is not in the league of Myst, by any means, or even Realms of Illusion (Sentinel), but it was amusing.

Things I liked: The colors are bright and lovely, the moon critters are imaginatively done, and the night sky is great. The pencil drawings are beautiful and fit the 1800's setting.

There's a lot of humor in the story and the Selenites are delightfully superior attitude toward mere Earthlings. Most puzzles are pretty straight forward, although there are a few that had me running to UHS for hints. Most were very clever.

Things I didn't like: There were several puzzles or activities that did not have much (or apparently anything!) to do with solving the game. I made one substance I could not use anywhere. After solving one puzzle, nothing happened except an exclamation of surprise by Ardan. These puzzles added to my intelligence rating the Selenites kept, other than helping me obtain a few keys -the rating needed for obtaining them was low- the total noted at the end of the game, it was useless.

The voice of Ardan did NOT match the drawn character of a wild-haired eccentric. I expected a Selenite to show up when I tried to blast off- perhaps one last insulting remark to remember them by- but, there was no send-off committee.

Overall: Voyage will pass the time pleasantly and not tax your brain too much.

Hmmm
I love adventure games as in Myst, Riven ect. I should have read reviews on this game before buying it though (if there had been more than 2 at the time). I didn't care for the comic book/childish type characters. I also don't have a degree in horticulture and chemistry needed to play. I grew very tired of mixing chemicals and also plants, holding on to inventory items (3 pages) and reading subtitles which come later in the game when you learn to speak Seleneze. I played 3/4 of the game but grew bored with the story and inventory nonsense. I gave this at least 1 star for gamers under the age of 12 (with the help of an adult or 3). Oh, and if one more Selenite threw up on me, I was going to trash the game.
