The beauty of Endless Ocean is that you can do as much or as little as you like. The relaxed and calm atmosphere of the game gives you the freedom to explore special locations such as shipwrecks and underwater ruins, discover and interact with sea-life, complete fish logs or simply relax in the soothing environment. The game begins with you onboard a diving boat, with a crewmember that provides advice and tips on finding the best locations for fish and helps you advance the storyline.

These missions unlock content, such as new items to use underwater, or different diving gear that can be used to customize your diver. Navigate through the depths using the Wii remote and guide your character using the pointer's cursor, visible as a bright blue dot.

Customer Reviews

It SUCKS !
I bought it , because of the positive reviews. For a little kid it might be fun to feed the fish , to "walk" with the fish ad things like that. I wish I had a harpoon...the graphics are simply AWFUL . As I said, if you have a 5 y. old kid , it might work , but for an adult IT SO BORING , you will fall asleep and have nightmares about the money wasted.

Just Fun
I am 32 years old and I love this game. The graphics are amazing - completely beautiful. It's probably not something I would buy for my 5 year old because to actually get anywhere in the game, you need to successfully complete goals that a young child wouldn't have the patience for. Being an adult, the challenges are not difficult but, in most cases, what completing the challenge unlocks is so worth it. When I found the manatees I was literally smiling from ear to ear. There are some silly "rewards" that you get after completing a challenge like a new hairstyle (who cares?) but for the most part, you get to unlock new areas, get certified to cave dive or get new equipment. I am completely addicted to finding objects hidden in the sand or reefs. Finding the pieces to a shattered piece of a compass gave me an unexpected surprise in opening up the pirate ship and being taken to the underwater graveyard.

This game is very beautiful and very, very relaxing. To give you an example of how relaxing it is, I actually dozed off playing it one day. This may not sound like a good endorsement for the game but when I come home from a stressful day at work and am all fired up, this game calms me down. I can play it for hours - literally. I love it. It is my absolute favorite game on the Wii and it's really going to be tough to beat.

ok
A nice non violent game I will let my granddaughter play. Its also cheaper than the real vacation.
