I can't work it out. I'm normally an action type gamer but this game has me hooked (sic). Its really relaxing and I can't stop playing it. My kids (14, 7 and 8 years old) love it and all of them can play it with ease. Everyone who's been here while I'm playing it have said how boring they find it, until they have a go and then they're hooked too! The narrative of the game is just enough to keep interest, oh and the non-swimming marine biologist is fit. I'm hoping that my diver and her will swap more than just notes but that's unlikely.

After reading the reviews of Endless Ocean on Amazon I decided to purchase it and I'm glad I did.
My expectations for this game were pretty high as a result of the reviews I'd read and I'm pleased to say I haven't been disappointed at all.
Mastering the controls is fairly easy thanks to the on-screen help tips so it's a game that should be fine for all ages & experiences.
The graphics are impressive with some very nice scenery to be found above and below the water. The mellow music & sounds compliment the former perfectly & make this game a great choice for those wanting to escape from the stresses of everyday life.
There's a huge amount of places to explore / tasks to do and although there is a storyline to the game you'll have no shortage of time to discover the wonders on offer in the aquatic World if you wish to do so. That for me is one of the games biggest positives, the sheer amount of freedom that you're given. Most games seem to restrict your movements to a fairly small area but thankfully Endless Ocean isn't one of them.
If you do decide to get this game it'll keep you entertained for a very long time.

A great game if your just looking to mess around for a while, but it can get very boring. Also, it isn't the most realistic of diving simulators Firstly, you can bounce from 30m to the surface as much as you like and nothing happens, And secondly, the Guy breathes like a fish, the air lasts forever even at 60m.
Great effort and a good game, but do not buy if your looking for a dive simulator.
Not a shoot 'em up, and no Sims in sight! January 13, 2008

If you try explaining this game to other people over a pint, it just sounds dull. However, if you want to lounge on your sofa and pootle about trying to find things in the sea, with the soothing sound of Scuba breathing and thats all, this is your thing. I had low expectations, but am really enjoying this game and the kids are starting to get into it too.
The basic set up is you are a diver on a boat and have a big ocean to explore. Every time you see a fish (or bigger) you can get to know it by stroking it, and it goes in your Marine Log. The simplistic idea of the game is to complete your Marine Log with all the species - some 40 pages of fish and others....
Behind this simple task, there are random tasks thrown at you via email. These usually involve exploring a specific area, or searching for a specific bit of treasure, or taking other divers out. Each one of these gets you a reward of some description, usually a bit of equipment, which can help you with the Marine Log thing, or just general enjoyment. For instance, I just got a camera - so can take pictures of me swimming with a Sperm Whale.
There is a story behind it too, which makes it more interesting. Your boat buddy has a chequered past which she outlines to you over time, and that generates stuff for you to do too.
I feel a bit sad raving about this game, but it genuinely is excellent. The graphics are good and you end up becoming a bit obsessed about how you are going to find your next Shark, or whether you can find the mermaid's grotto. And as most other reviewers have said, when you get in from work and the kids have gone to bed, its a great way to just turn off and emerse yourself in what is just a very laid back world of bubbles and "Humphead Wrasse".
