Well, I have to say, who would have thought it. A game that can relax, unwind and take your tensions away. The graphics are good, but not amazing. This is the one downfall to the Wii. A game like this deserves to be in HD. Sitting on the deck and looking into the ocean is so relaxing too.

We've been diving for almost 2 hours now and haven't even scratched the surface of the ocean. Don't forget, the map is surface area, not down and in the ocean.

The only other thing the developers missed the boat on (no pun intended) was creating a screensaver function for the Wii! How do you make a diving game and not have a screen saver option! Yes, you could leave your diver in the water until the oxygen runs out, but that's just not the same as a screen saver.

So turn off all of the lights, fire up the Wii and prepare to be relaxed to the max!

We absolutely LOVE this game - highly addictive

I bought this game yesterday and my 8 yo son and I are completely addicted.

It's fun, relaxing and educational - can't do better than that!

What is funny is how excited we get when we "find" a new animal. When I first saw a humpback whale in the game you'd have thought there was suddenly a REAL whale in our living from from the level of surprise and excitment.

fun to play, beautiful to watch, and you are never quite sure what is around each corner.

Unique and impressive

Nintendo's Endless Ocean is by far one of the most unique and original games to hit the Wii yet, with its often mesmerizing presentation and even more unique gameplay. You play a deep sea diver exploring under the sea around the fictitious island of Manoa Lai, and that's pretty much all you need to know. All you basically do is explore the massive environments and interact with the sea-life, which provides for a soothing and even more surprisingly fun experience. The games graphics are gorgeous underwater, with some just plain brilliant lighting effects and textures. The graphics department gets a bit of a different story though in the game's segments that take place above the sea, but this isn't that much of an issue. It should be noted though that Endless Ocean isn't a game for everyone. The game's slow pace may be a turn off for some, and occasionally the Wii-mote controls don't always work the best way they should when pointing at the screen, but regardless there is much to admire here. Also with the ability to incorporate your own MP3 music soundtrack via an SD card (in case the game's soothing score doesn't suit you), Endless Ocean is an impressive effort. All in all, Endless Ocean is one of the most unique, impressive, and enjoyable games to hit the Wii yet, and is more than worth picking up for Wii owners looking for a great, original title that is worth every penny of its price tag.

A well developed adventure game, where you'll learn infinite things from the ocean without getting wet. Whether you are a diver or not, this is a very good diving expierience.
Gameplay not only includes diving, but also has adventure, a little of RPG, learning stuff and much more.
Fight Gravity.... SCUBA Today!

Very relaxing game and very suitable for children.

Scores points in trying something different,easy controls and underwater visuals are above average for a Wii game.

But if your used to fast paced or M rated games,you may get bored with it quickly.
Definitely not for everyone.

A fun learning experience

Endless Ocean is an entertaining and educational experience that will teach you a lot about the ocean environment and the fish that inhabit it. There is a simple "background story" that provides a basic premise (in which you are a scuba guide, leading and showing others the wonders of a tropical undersea paradise). The "game" aspects are visual and discovery in nature---no competition or points to score. The experience is pleasant throughout, as you control a diver under the water, swimming around rocks and reefs, relating to fish---even feeding and touching them. Pop-up information on various species and access to a marine encyclopedia gives you scientific data to increase your ability to identify and locate various types of fish. With just a little effort, you can become very adept at exploring underwater rocks and caves, maybe even come face to face with a hammerhead shark!

Interesting game

You start out in this game as a novice diver and begin doing dives, accomplishing tasks, and just generally exploring. I originally thought this was some sort of mental relaxation thing but it is actually a real game, although low-key and with nothing to shoot or kill. If this game were on xbox 360 or PS3, you would probably dive with spear guns and laser blasters and your objective would be to hunt giant squid or enemy submarines or something and shoot them or blow them up. As it is, there is zero violence in this game. The closest that the game gets to that is when you are serving as a diving guide and you lose sight of the diver you are escorting. The music becomes slightly ominous and you have to swim around looking for your diver until they're found. While the lack of violence may make this game sound incredibly boring, it is actually interesting and entertaining. There is nothing else quite like this game, although I'm sure it will soon have a lot of imitators. Enjoy.

Great!

This game is a great undersea adventure espeically for those of us whom cannot experience the wonders of the ocean in person. My 5 and 10yr old boys love this game. The controls are a bit difficult but once you get past that its a fantastic game!

Almost like the real thing...

I came across this while looking for wii games that we could play as a family (we have a 2 and a 4 yr old) and the Ocean aspect is perfect (as they both love the aquarium and I like snorkeling and diving).

I've played this game more than anyone and I am addicted. As many said, there needs to be some work done on the above water scenes and the people/dialog, but otherwise, its a hit. I love swimming with the Whale Sharks, the sperm whales and the other critters at 500 feet below the surface.

Definitely recommend this game for anyone looking for a good way to unwind after work.

Refreshing Educational Relaxing

I bought this for my kids as a nonviolent option to available video games. I also homeschool and thought it would be a good educational extra. They love it (I love it)! It is a no pressure game with lots of rewards based on your investigative desire. Graphics are really nice for the Wii. There is alot of reading so if your little person does not read well yet you will have to be there. I would recommend it highly if you are trying to steer away from the violent games.
