Endless Ocean (Wii)

My Girlfriend saw the advert for this game and insisted that we rush out and buy it. So, out we went 30 minutes later im watching her swim around under the ocean with a scuba tank to Enya. This, its fair to say is not a game for a lad like me who would enjoy the game more if there were pirates, man eating sharks, harpoons and flare guns. Having said this, the game does have a very impressive visual style and is well observed. The games is not particularly linear and you can do pretty much what you want, from petting the creatures that are sunbathing on your boat, to taking landlubbers on daytrips to see their favourite fish. Gameplay largely revolves around the idea that ...  Read the complete review

As the handles of some Dooyoo users testify, there are people here who love diving. I don't have a scuba-related monicker, but I love getting suited up and giant-striding into that weightless wonderland as much as any of them. If it wasn't for the facts I'm nowhere near the sea or a decent lake and my ear drums have an annoying habit of going pop, I'd do it a lot more. I therefore approached Endless Ocean with a degree of skepticism, dare I say it snobbery. There was no way a computer game could come close to replicating the experience of gliding through the water, each fin-stroke taking you further into that mysterious world. Was there? In a ...  Read the complete review

Endless Ocean is a misleading now, since whilst it is in the ocean, it isn't endless (okay okay, I'm just being picky). This is a diving semi-simulator, I say semi-simulator because you don't have to actually set up any diving equipment, you don't have to worry about getting the bends and there's no danger, in fact if you do run out of oxygen you just get returned to the boat.... But that's not what the game is about, this game is all about relaxation and exploration... or exploration and relaxation, whichever floats your boat first I guess. You are a diver and you have a lovely boat that is frequented by all manner of sea based animals ...  Read the complete review

Endless ocean on the wii is one of the wiis strongest game i believe. The game is not only enjoyable but also very informative. The game starts off by you diving in a shallow bay allowing you to swim round and find information out about the local wildlife that inhabits the area. In order to gain information on fish and other sea creatures you must stroke/poke interact with them. Eventually you will see some glitter by them whih means you have unlocked some information about them. Each animal has 3 pieces to find out, but you must see the animal three times in order to get it. SO lots of diving on and off your boat. Animals arent just in the water ...  Read the complete review

Endless Ocean i first heard about on an advert when it was first released and, with dreams of doing oceanography at some point, iIloved the idea and look of this game. --- Story ---- The story basically revolves around you being a diving instructor, you can explore a vast range of areas to dive in to discover new species and photograph them to keep a track of your progress. Along the way you'll be called upon by customers wishing for you to take them diving, usually for specific fish. Find that fish and you'll be rewarded and open up more to do. To attract fish you can use food which you have a supply of on you and you and by stroking ...  Read the complete review
