Ecco is fun, but could use some refinement.

My initial review:
I don't dislike Ecco, but the controls and graphics are somewhat over-rated. The underwater scenes are not as convincing as they should be for the PS2. Also, the challenges sometimes seem like tedious buys work. I would recommend this game for those looking for something different, but it is not on my "must have" list.

After trying to play this game for a few weeks, I have learned to hate it. Save your money, this game is of poor quality and can be very frustrating.
GREAT game for Dolphin/Marine lovers!!! *****CHEAT*****

I LOVE this game!! I had a little trouble getting past all the levels so I have a cheat in case you get stuck for all the levels:
Go to {Player Menu} and choose [New Game}
Enter GYU GYU GYU
Press CIRCLE (if the cheat works the plant on the left should shoot out lots of bubbles)
Press the X button to start a new profile Then go to the level select and all the levels should be usuable!
VERY fun game overall!!:D
Very Difficult

I didn't like this game, because being older than the average video game player, I'm not smarter than the games most of the time. Anyways, I thought this would be fun, and I'm sure it would be if I could figure it out. I even have trouble getting Ecco to swim where I want him to. I don't have too much trouble steering in other games, just this one. I don't recommend it if you aren't an avid video game player.
VERY good!

I got this game for ps2. It has fantastic graphics, the dolphins, the creatures, the landscape, the fantasy acessories in the game looks real! The storyline is a bit confusing, and some levels are hard in the beginning, but you soon find a way to do it. I'm almost finished with it, but Idon't dare to play it more, the last levels are so scary! I know I sound like a 4 years old girl when I say it's scary, but the graphics looks so real, and the sounds so real, so I don't dare to go any further! You should absolutely buy this!
good

I just got this game for xmas along with a ps2. It is really cool! The graphics are great! It is really fun, but really hard. You have to defeat the sharks BEFORE you learn how to. I found out a secret to getting a vielet(or something like it). I dont quite know how to use them.
time to harpoon that ...dolphin...

This is nothing but a bunch of politicaly correct,tree-hugging enviromentalist crap!!
All you do is swim around and uhm swim around and ahhh...yeah swim around.Your "weapon" is that annoying,finger-nails-against-a-chalkboard skreetch:EEEEEHHHH EEEIII EEEEE!!!
I purposely died throughout the game just to see him float belly up to the surface...Ecco the dolphin needs to stop making video games... and go get beached or caught in a net....
What?

This story doesn't make sence! I do like how you just swim around and all, but what's the story all about. I jus t think it's just an excuse to play as a dolfin. The person who said that it is the best graphics they'd seen for PS2 mus t be an oldy.
Glitchy

While it's probobly a good game it obviously has it's fair share of glitches. In the first 5 minutes of gameplay I got stuck inside a rock and had to turn the PS2 off. After that I never played it again.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!READ THIS!!! I LOVE YOU ECCO!!!!

Omg this game was the Best!!! I Love to put my make up on while i play the game!!!!Be careful of the sharks tho...htye are meanies grrrr!!! Remember!!!
1. Never take a shower while playing the game
2. Never hold an umbrella while playing the game( it makes it hard to hold the control)
3. Always smile!!! it makes me happy when i smile at ecco. Sometimes he smiles back. The more you smile the more he wants to win the game.
4. Dont chew on the wires when u get nervousd about your hot dog the the microwave...because it might be exploding but you dont care..ecco smiled at you.
5. Dont ride your 4-wheeler in ur house while playing the game...u might run over ecco. OOO NOOO!
6. Dont let friends play other games when you are around or kick them out of the house and take there keys to there car and make them find there own way home!!!! in the rain!! Idiot!
7. Always remember Ecco is a Dolphin not a blade off brutually cut up grass.
BORING

I got this game at a store uses so I am glade I did not spend full amount for this game. I would not spend a dime on it now. It is so boring and I can't figure it out. If there is anybody out there that knows somthing I don't know please let me know.
Thanks,
