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!

if you dont like it, you haven't played it!!!

I can't believe some people think Ecco the Dolphin is bad because:
A: You play as a cute little dolphin in a REALISTIC ENVIRONMENT
B: There's Hardly any violence
C: The only way to kill enemies is by charging them or using your sonar
Ecco is awesome!!! The creatures and their actions are very realistic and the first part (on the island of Tranquility) is a beautiful realistic place.
Start out in Aquamarine Bay and help numerous animals such as the whale who's baby is trapped, the little dolphin who's baby turtle is being attacked by sharks, and the mother dolphin who's three children have swum off again. The music in this game is also wonderful. In the Coral Reefs and the Aquamarine bay, it's calm and serene. In places like the cave of secrets and the octopus's lair, the music is more dramatic.
Throughout the game, learn songs of sharks turtles fish and rays and collect Vitalits which increase the amount of health you have.
Ecco the dolphin is for people who don't like violence. People who can solve riddles and puzzles easily and who like adventure and beauty more than action. Also, it would be for people who have enough brains to enjoy the beauty of the realistic coral reefs.

ECCO RULES!!

Ok, basically I had this for Dreamcast. As we all know, DC went into a downward spiral and bombed. I sold my DC and all the games. I wish that I still had Ecco though. Who knew that a game about a dolphin could be so much fun? I stayed up til 4 or 5 in the morning playing this game during the summer. The graphics are perfect. I heard that PS2 tuned up the resolution too. To escape the onslaught of horrible Army Men games, and those [bad] sports games they come out with every month, I played Ecco. Seriously folks, this is the type of game that future games should be based off of. I loved this game. It is going down in my all time favorites. Buy this game and you'll be happy you did!!

Great game

Ecco The Dolphin is a great action game. You have to run from sharks, race other dolphins in some levels, complete objectives, and much more. Ecco The Dolphin is the most realistic game I've ever played and the best graphices I've ever seen. Ecco is a young dolphin with great strength. In the game you play as Ecco you have to defend the world and save dolphins, turtles and other animals. Your friends teach you songs to do special thigs to other animals. From Nick, age 9.

Ecco on the PS2 is cool, and by "cool," I mean totally sweet

The new Ecco the Dolphin on the PlayStation 2 in the best one yet! The DC version of Ecco was very good, but the PS2 version delivers where the DC failed. There's a new map and all new controls, so you never get lost. The graphics are some of the best out there on any console. Plus, it's Ecco! If you like fun and unique games, Ecco is for you!

THE BEST GAME YET

let's see the graphics are AMAZING the puzzles are not too hard nor too easy (they make sense if you think about them) the gameplay is just right (not too hard nor too easy) the game is VERY long (lots of levels) there are practicly NO bugs. the graphics if you asked me are about the same quality as Final Fantasy X. THIS IS A MUST BUY GAME I rented it for a week and never got near to completing it! It is just as good or better than Jak and Daxter (I loved that game too) it has EXCELLENT re-play (in my opinion) you can jump into the air and do flips or just about anything else you would picture a real dolphin doing. the graphics are so amazing (I know I said it a million times but still..) they look REAL EVERY detail from the little droppletts of water when you jump to the flysand while you skim the sand on the bottom. This game has it all...puzzles, adventure, battles, action, and plenty of it!
If you look at my other reviews you will see I am not easily impressed...but this game is the tops.

Ecco the Dolphin is a wonderful journey into a world so beautiful, one can only fantasize about it. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and the game keeps you in awe! I really enjoyed it from the moment I first popped it in.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ecco the Dolphin is the best!

This is the funest but the hardest game i played. Some levels on Ecco can take up to 1 hour to beat. i got up to a level called "Sleeping Forces Of Doom" with out a gameshark. In the game you kinduh need a sharp eye because you may miss something that can help you beat a level. i havent beat every level but i have beat alot of levels in the game. I think you should rent the game because the game is hard. But no matter how hard a Ecco the Dolphin game is i will always be a fun of any Ecco the dolphin game.

Ecco the Dolphin is a GREAT game, but it can be VERY hard. But as you get into the game the story line get very intristing. Just to tell you, the game is possible without a game shark. i haven't beat the game with out the game shark but i'm over half-way done with it. Ok, you need a good "eye" because, if you don't you may miss something that can help you beat the level and the levels can take you over an hour just to beat it. And the good thing is if you get a special power and you die, you keep the power you have gotten!! And this is VERY helpful if your on a hard level. And the graphics are ammasing, and the music gets more intense if you are in boss battle or some other level.

Today May 9, 2003 i just beat the game without the help of a game shark. I'm not lieing (i don't like to lie anyway). This game is possibly. Here are some tips that may be helpful:
1.) turn the brightness on you TV (if you can)
2.)press the L3 button to see were your next objective.
3.)look around the area you may see something you may have not seen before.
4.) TRY NOT TO PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD!
I hope you find these tips useful, good luck and try not to give up.
