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

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.

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.

original game play and concept

This game is very original, with absolutely gorgeous, some times even surreal environments. The graphics are for sure the best I've yet seen on a PS2 game. The game environments are very interesting, and the music is usually pretty good (though the intro song is kinda cheesy). The game play is pretty good, mixing action with puzzle. However this game is very difficult (even more than either of the Sega Genesis Ecco games), and some parts take a lot of patience. It could have really benefited from having different levels of difficulty. Also the controls do take time to get used to (though certainly they aren't terrible), and it can sometimes be quite difficult to find your way around in this game, I sometimes find myself becoming a bit disoriented in it.
If you are looking for a very challenging, action/adventure puzzle game, with a pretty well done story, and awesome graphics you will probably love this game.

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.

I love this game

I am a big role playing fan...that is why I turned in my XBOX for a playstation 2. I just went out and bought Ecco the Dolphin cause I loved it for dreamcast. The controls are a lot better and the graphics are great. So far the only thing I have found wrong with the game is that everytime a shark bites me I jump. Recommend this game for anyone who likes a difficult game.

ECCO IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ecco rules! I think that you should rent this game before buying it, I did!!!!! DOLPHINS RULE!!! The FOE has destroyed the great Guardian!!! You must beat the foe in this battle for the Earth's future!! But be careful, there are many dangers!! Like the sharks, eels, and the Foe. My favorite level was Atlantis Lost. That's the level with the Guardian amd I think that level is so B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, here's a tip that will really help you!! Just follow these simple steps, and you will unlock all the levels. Select NEW GAME. Enter GYU GYU ???. The three question marks stand for any three letters of your choice!! Even if the game says that you're done with just entering the first GYU!! Go back and re-enter GYU. Then enter any three letters. Then go to end, and instead of pressing X, press O. After you press O, alot of bubbles should release from the plant on the left side of the screen. After the bubbles have released, press X. Then go back to the MAIN MENU,select LEVEL SELECT. You will then see that all the levels are unlocked!!!! Cool, huh?!?!?! Now you can play as you wish. But, remember this, EVERY TIME YOU PLAY THE GAME, YOU WILL HAVE RE-ENTER THE CODE!!!!!! Well, that's how it is for me, anyays. Remember, my favorite level is Atlantis Lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT!!!! I LOVE ECCO!

ok, i dont know what is up with those people that keep dissing this game. this game is amazing. it is really challenging and provides HOURS of gameplay. this is what most video games should be like! i hate a lot of games on PS2 (sports, wrestling, army (ICK))

Graphics: 10/10. they are beautiful. the animals look real. (the sharks are scary!!!)

Story: 9/10 Ecco has to save the dolphin AND human race! GO ECCO! (at one point he goes back in time!!!)

Controls: 8/10 a little bit tough at sometimes but not that bad overall.

Difficulty: 14/10!!! this game is very very hard! some of the levels are dark and you cant see stuff good so make sure you search everywhere in the levels! (it helps if you turn your tv's brightness up)

sadly, i dont have a game shark, or a game guide so im pretty much stuck. ive only made it halfway through the game and i got the game when it came out. rent it first, if u love it, BUY IT, cuz it will take a long time to beat it!

Amazing

I only rented this game but I plan to buy it. I love dolphins and I'm even writing a paper on them for school. Ecco is completely realistic. I heard the designers used National Geographic to make it look real. Although I wouldn't suggest playing this game for long periods of time because the camera moves fast and it gave me a headache, so I paused the game every once in awhile and take a break.

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.
