Imagine an ocean where the animals don’t attack humans, no less attack one another.
Imagine an ocean that is so endless one can swim as far and as deep as they like — or at least to the end of the level.
In this ocean, one can pet humpback whales and great white sharks, and even swim to the bottom of the black abyss.
Welcome to the Wii’s newest and definitely different game, “Endless Ocean.”
While this game is interesting, it can only hold your attention for so long.
Once players have encountered all of the animals in the big blue sea, they’re left with nothing to do but swim around aimlessly — either alone, with a fellow diver, or with a dolphin and continue to roam the most relaxed and unrealistic oceanic environment ever brought to a gaming system.
Unrealistic isn’t an understatement either.
The fact that you can dive into an abyss with nothing but basic scuba diving gear or swim by man-eating sharks and not die is not only absolutely ridiculous, but at times annoying.
Does anyone honestly believe that all creatures in the sea live like one big happy family?
This game is like the “Jaws” game on Ritalin.
It’s disappointing. You can be swimming around at night and, just as the music starts to sound kind of scary, you’ll encounter some large shark, complete with big teeth.
But remember, it’s your friend. You can pet it, feed it or take pictures of it and all it will do is swim on by.
This game is totally lame. There’s no fear, there’s no deep sea fighting, just happy dolphins, whales, sharks, fish and whatever else you can imagine in the ocean, complete with the most annoying soundtrack ever featured on a game.
It’s like listening to Enya singing “Amazing Grace” and wanting to shove something in your ears. It’s down-right horrible.
This game is graphically impressive, but that’s about it. After about 30 minutes of play, you’re going to find yourself asking for more.
“Endless Ocean” is out now (and surprisingly hard to find) for Nintendo’s Wii Console.
