It's available on import only so I recommend you wait to see if they'll be releasing it in the UK, maybe they will, but I doubt it somehow! Ok, should you go for the Japanese version then you're mad as You'll have to speak fluent Japanese to the fish, and you'll have to understand what they say too. Go for the USA version, but be warned, you're going to have to brush up on you're American accent because these fish are from over the pond! The idea is to talk to some virtual fish with rather wierd looking fish bodies and human faces. They talk back to you and actually respond to what you say - this is the first console voice recognition ... Read the complete review

Strange title, strange gameplay right? Correct - Seaman has got to be one of the wackiest games on the Dreamcast, and that includes Wacky Races! Seaman is a game where you hatch strange fishy mutant creatures from eggs, and from their birth you must talk to them to help them grow both mentally and physically. Sounds weird eh? Well, to bring the game to the edge of your sanity Sega has produced an addon to make your gameplaying experience as nutty as possible - a microphone that plugs into the VMU slot. The voice recognition that comes with it is incredible... At first your Seamen learn basic words, such as "hello", and through careful ... Read the complete review

This is probably one of the oddest and weirdest games I have ever played on my Dreamcast! The Dreamcast is well known for its exotic and quirky games, but this one beats them all! When you first get to the start screen, you encounter the voice of Leonard Nimoy, who is the narrator and leads you throughout the rest of the game. When the game loads up, it places you the player inside a fish tank, with a couple of eggs that need hatching. This is the whole of the game, where you must tend to your eggs, make the tank the right air temperature and give it enough air and then actually converse with your Seamen (no sexual innuendo there!). Seamen are ... Read the complete review

This game's great at first. You have to feed Seaman, clean its tank, make sure it has a comfortable environment, etc. It's really nice as you watch it grow, and then speak it's first words. However, after the first month or so you see all the negative points. For a start you must use the game every 2-3 days or Seaman dies. Secondly, although you can speak to Seaman I found he rarely understands you and usually just replies with some stupid comment he's already said about 100 times before. The biggest problem is that after the growing-up period of Seaman the rest is just so boring. He doesn't seem to do anything. You end up just feeding him, ... Read the complete review
