Fuck yes. Fuck. Yes.

Think the music was great and visuals but as game is was horrible.
I would like a movie or something similar for Journey.

It was over your head. Clearly. :D


Was this game's soundtrack really that highly acclaimed?

Huh, well, don't stop believin', I guess...

Game soundtracks pretty much crush film soundtracks as standalone things. Film soundtracks have a handful of short motifs, game soundtracks can have over a hundred unique songs. They're also much more memorable than the ambience of most films. |
Game soundtracks? Crush film soundtracks. I do prefer Game Music as a whole to Movie soundtracks, but I respectfully disagree. VG soundtracks may have considerably more tracks than movie's, but these days they often feature several variations of the same tunes(although movies do it too), and also feature several atmospheric/circumstantial tracks that--while great in-game--aren't so enjoyable for stand-alone listening. Film soundtracks, on the other hand, offer a greater selection of simply "enjoyable" tracks. I also find the atmospheric tracks found in the best move OSTs to be more suitable for listening than those found in videogames, although there are exceptions, of course.
That being said, I do feel that the best VG soundtracks(like Journey's) can be on-par--or even surpass the greatest film scores. Especially, these days, as movies soundtracks seem to be losing their edge, becoming--I hate to say--generic, while videogames continue to have a great deal of variety and style...so...uh, I'd say they're pretty close, over all.
