About 500MB.

I thought it would have been bigger, to be honest.

It's a brilliant experience, you won't be disappointed.

All I could think when playing Journey was "eat your heart out Uncharted 3" (regarding the sand).

Flow was okay.

Flower could've been great, but it got bogged down by it's depressive nature in the later levels.

But Jenova Chen hit it out of the fucking park with Journey. That game was soul-fulfillingly beautiful. It's like they took Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, and perfectly merged them together into a colourful bite-sized experience.

Probably the best way to describe the game :D

It may not be long, but every single second is brilliant.

I thought it's length was perfect.

I'd compare it to Portal in that regard; It has a flawless pacing from beginning to end. It never out stays its welcome, and never feels cut short.

And because it's only 1,5 to 2 hours long you'll most likely finish it in one sitting, which is the best way to experience it.

I intend to collect this along with flOw and Flower over the next couple of days.

They will provide a good counterpoint to Twisted Metal that I purchased earlier in the week and have yet to play.

These types of games (flOw et al) I personally believe we owe to ourselves to purchase and prove that alternatives to killing can be accepted in the spectrum of videogaming.

I want to play it but $15 for a 2 hour game? And no demo? You must be crazy.

Yeah, I just can't justify that myself.
Like I've said before, don't you ever go to the movies? A 2 hour movie can easily run you $15. And that's even for terrible movies.

This game is absolutely worth your time and money.

I don't go to the movies to see a movie, I go to the movies for the social experience with my friends. To experience the anticipation of the show starting, to go to dinner afterwards, to play DDR in the arcade before. The movie itself is inconsequential.

Plus, Sony hasn't really shown they can be trusted with my credit card.

I'd say you're still paying $15 for two hours of entertainment, but I suppose only you can decide how much your time is worth.

You should definitely pick up the game when the price eventually drops though. Maybe buy a game card at the store rather than giving your credit card info to Sony.

As you may or may not have noticed, I like Okami. The game is gorgeous and oozes character with an amzing sountrack to boot.

Journey is my new Okami, it is gaming in it's purest form, it isn't trying too hard to be 'artsy', it isn't pretentious and it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

The 'multiplayer' is implemented brilliantly, appealing to our desire for companionship, but isn't essential. In all my years of playing videogames, I've never had such an emotional attachment with a stranger before, an experience shared without passing a single word.

The game looks gorgeous, the lighting is brilliant and I've never been so impressed by sand. The whole time I was in the desert, I just felt warm, while the snowy mountain was unforgiving harshness, me and my companion, huddling together, wondering if we'd get through this.

I wasn't following this game, I went in with no expectations and was rewarded with a truly brilliant gaming experience.

This isn't a review, just my opinion of the game, so feel free to share your thoughts too. If you have a PS3, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

You won't be disappointed.
The multiplayer was interesting if anything. Honestly I feel underwhelmed, It was brief but interesting, 10 pounds is too much despite what you can say about quality.

I'd say this is an agreeable solution. Do prices ever drop on PSN? I've never bought anything on it and don't pay attention to the Sony's market tactics on it.

I actually don't know. I just kind of assumed they would, since that's how Steam operates.

Well Flower is half price at the moment, and that's made by the same dev team.
