The experience here is the Kinect experience, and I actually enjoyed it. It does, however, show that Kinect is still a new technology and I look forward to a game like Fable actually being 1st person Kinect, but just as wide open as the original games were, letting you go anywhere and do anything. But this is a good start and to my knowledge the first of its kind (and adventure Kinect game).
So you get to essentially do 3 things here, drive your horse cart, fight bad guys and do a few little maintenance tasks like feed, groom and heal your horse. That being said, during combat, when you are blasting Hobbes, blocking attacks, force pushing opponents and objects, its a lot of fun. Be advised, your arms may get tired and the game advises you to take breaks here and there. I can see someone who isn't in shape getting sore after playing this game.
The Kinect isn't perfect. When it works, things are pretty smooth and as expected, but when something goes wrong, you'll curse the Kinect. The thing to do when things just aren't working right is to stop the game, try the Kinect tuner process again and start playing after. I found about a quarter the time I played, it would start off poorly. Little things throw the Kinect off like a change in lighting. My living room is lit up very different during the day and at night so I found I needed to do the Kinect tuning under both conditions. Also, if someone is near you or behind you, they may inadvertently "steal" your control of the Kinect. The Dog walked by and did this once. The Kinect focuses on your head and hands and if something passes near and it thinks it was one of your hands, it starts focusing on the other persion or animal in the case of my dog.
So to wrap up, I liked it, I'd recommend it even with the Kinect not being perfect. When things worked well, I really enjoyed combat. Just don't expect this to be the same as the other Fable games, it is something entirely different and just happens to take place in Albion, but gone are the times you'll get to interact with shop keepers, buy a home or get a spouse. Consider it a completely different aspect on Albion.
If you love Fable and already have a Kinect, maybe consider buying this game Used for a few dollars, but make sure to read all the reviews first so you know what you're getting.
I really liked the first three Fables, especially number 2, but Journey is just not in the same league. In my opinion it isn't actually a "Fable" game- it simply doesn't qualify to use the franchise name. It could possibly be considered an acceptable game if it was given a title other than Fable, and shipped free with the Kinect.
It makes me wonder if it will ever be possible to make a great game that is 100% Kinect (other than fitness exercise games). There are a finite number of distinguishable gestures that you can make with your body sitting down, and I think this game shows the Kinect's limitation in not having any buttons or direction-pad (whereas the Playstation Move does have a wand controller with buttons).
I would rather this game only required Kinect for the combat scenes, but kept the world wide open and let me roam around and do stuff with the Xbox controller.
Journey has linear game progression with no real choices, limited customization of abilities, sparse character interaction, and zero world economy/inventory. On top of all that, the lack of accuracy in casting spells (throwing electric bolts or force fields) is the worst thing of all, as described in the G4TV Xplay review. I walked through the calibration routine three times, but it never helped. I have to throw my hands all over the screen like a maniac, hoping some of the attempts hit an enemy.
Also, like several reviews have described, you will spend most of your time driving the horse cart down a one-way path.
It's not a complete stinking disaster of a failure, but pretty darn close. Definitely one of the worst video games I have played on the Xbox, and a real turn-off for players who are new to Kinect.

Ignore those complaining about it being fully Kinect operated. It makes the game more interesting - in my opinion. If you're to lazy to push the air in front of you, than this isn't a game for you. But overall, this game is fun!
