Description: With this virtual reality experience, you don’t need a bulky spacesuit anymore to travel into outer space and land on planets, satellites or comets in our Solar System. Now you can experience how it feels to stand on the surface of these bodies, view the amazing scenery there, and get a better understanding of the differences between these heavenly bodies and the Earth. You can also bear witness to mankind’s great accomplishments in the exploration of outer space and get to know the landers and probes used and their designs.
Review: I kind of see where they were going with Journey to Alien Worlds, but it all falls a little flat if you ask me. The educational content just isn’t enough and the adventure side of the game just isn’t adventurous enough! It seems to have some good astronomy and scientific facts, but it never really goes into depth. I wouldn’t want to pay £2.89 for this that is for sure, but maybe if I paid a quid or less I might have settled into it more than I did. But then again it only lasts 20 minutes or so, so it would hardly be worth it.
