This is my most favorite game, for the swimming-beach-fans. I won't lie it can be harder than heck, but after some practise it'll be like riding a bike.

Overall 9.5
After you beat it and collect all the vitalits and learn everything, it can get a little boring. It needs something more to exstend the replay value and it needs a multiplayer mode.
It's a great stress reliever and challenge at the same time.
If you played the classic genesis versions you'll get an idea of what to exspect, but they changed it a little from the classic.
Advice: A great addition to your adventure collection!
Not good

This game isn't good. It's nothing like the original games for Genesis. Want to play good games? Then get Ecco the Dolphin, Ecco 2 The Tides of Time, and Ecco Jr. for Genesis.

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!

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.
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.
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....
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!
