Advantages: Uses a Mic, Nice graphics,

Disadvantages: Boring, speech recognition often doesn't work

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, cleaning his tank, and shutting down.

The graphics and sound are good. And Seaman is an interesting game (thanks to the speech recognition) but long term playability (2 months+)is zero and I really wouldn't recommend this game unless you got it cheap.
