And anyway... want to revive it? Start some new polls!!!

| Deleted User | The reason I didn't rate it sooner is that I haven't quite finished it yet. But after I'd read Poyntenklik's comment, I decided to vot anyway: 8+.

Status : Offline | What a fantastic game! Great graphics, nice story, good voice over, but what's most important: some of the best and most original puzzles I've ever seen in an adventure game. This one has 'high addiction risk' written all over it. 8-) The start was a bit dodgy, but once you arrive on the moon, things become very interesting and gameplay picks up. Definitely renewed the sense of wonder and curiosity to explore new environments, something that is lacking in so many recent adventure games. Highly recommended!
I give this one a 9.

Status : Offline | I gave it a very high 8/10. Like Wimli, I thought it had a quirky start, but gosh! Voyage turned into a heck of a lot of Adventure gaming fun!
I'm not one for inventory-heavy games (and for sure, Voyage had lots of stuff to combine with other stuff - over and over and over...), but Voyage had such a sweet feel to it that you never minded doing it.
Goofy as all get-out, with every type of cutscene one can think of (static line-drawings, animated sequences, pre-rendered scenes, 3D stop-motion...you name it) - there is something in Voyage for everyone. Was there a kitchen sink?
The music was horrendous and downright laughable sometimes - but please read on:
For example, the "voices" of the Selenites (READ: really cheesy synthesizer chord-splats, sqwanks and freeps) made me absolutely cringe in B-movie soundtrack horror.
Then, some "classical", "pretty" background exploring music would come in and set a lovely tone for looking around! Ahhh...nice!
I whole-heartedly recommend this brilliant little gem of an Adventure game to anyone: from really young to really old, jaded, wizened, mean, nice, tolerant, intolerant...any Adventure gamer that enjoys a well-produced, bug-free game with sharp-as-tacks menu options, money counters, point counters, stuff-you-can-look-at-if-you-want-to-but-you-don't-really-have-to, great little "pops" and "snaps" noises when you select things...just a incredibly pleasant excursion into the weirdo world of "The Moon".
Buy the game, give it a little of your time, and you will be well-rewarded with a game that leaves you in a happy mood after you "Save Game" for an evening (or morning) of playing it.
Voyage is sweet. Lovely. Nice. Fun. Happy. Spooky-ooky a little. Always wacky but never mean-spirited. Did I mention corny?
Even the drunken Selenites would just sqwack out a disapproving "Uh-uh!" in their synth-voice-splat kind-of-way and I laughed: "Oh, okay. All right. I'll try something different, then!"
You'll go to bed as contented, peaceful, and happy as if your Mama had read you a nice bedtime story, tucked you in, kissed you on the forehead, and said "Night-night! Sweet dreams!" after a session with Voyage.
I loved it. Every Adventure gamer should pick this one up. Here's your kiss!: :-*

Some puzzles had problems. But this game was pure fun for me.
I think Mark said all there is to say, except I'm coming from an inventory-puzzling-heavy background and I was in love from the first second. I knew what I was in for because I already played Return To Mysterious Island and loved it.

Oh, I don't think so, Elfstone. Your excellent review of Voyage is so much better than my inane ramblings.
