Brass Lantern Reviews: "In the final analysis the game's virtues aren't enough to hide the bitter aftertaste its unfortunate faults leave behind. While there has obviously been a fair amount of care given to much in Journey to the Center of the Earth, it remains a journey only intermittently worth taking."
Four Fat Chicks: "In spite of a few technical rough edges, I am pleased to award Journey our Gold Star. With very, very few adventure titles can I say: "If this was a book, I'd like to read it." Journey falls into that category."
GameSpot: "Journey to the Center of the Earth is marred by bugs, design problems, low production values, and general sloppiness that usually overshadow its genuine charms." [6.1/10]
