Product Description
Dive into tropical waters and discover the life aquatic, a life of nature, beauty and intrigue. In Endless Ocean, you are the guest of a tranquil sea filled with creatures so unique they must be experienced up-close. More of an experience than a game of any sort, Endless Ocean gives you the freedom to explore underwater locations, searching for fish to photograph and place in your log, or simply take a relaxing swim among the inhabitants of the sea. You'll be able to directly interact with some species, using the Wii Remote to touch members of the undersea community. Come face-to-face with such animals as angelfish, penguins, walruses and dolphins. Whilst underwater, you can even find lost ruins and secret diving locations. The Wii Remote's pointer capabilities are used to navigate through most of the game, whether it's directing the ship to a location on a map or directing the diver which way to swim. When you want to interact with ocean life, you'll simply point at it and then press the A Button. In addition to searching your vast waters, you can share Friend Codes with a friend and explore his or her sea via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Dive together and share in an adventure like no other.

 A hugely engrossing diving simulation game, though it wont be to everyones tastes. September 1, 2008
James Petford (Stourbridge)
Now i bought this game a few months back as it is sold as part of the "touch generations" series of games which are meant for the casual market and sell for budget prices, i have to say im pretty impressed with it.
Basically this game requires you to search for many different aquatic creatures across a huge game map ranging from coral reef's to dark caverns and it is done with a high level of flair, it does everything it sets out to do. Though if you like your fast paced games i suggest you give this a miss.
Pros: Great visual effects
Nice Control scheme
Long lasting game, a slow burner
Cons: Some people will find the pacing far too slow
Not to everyones tastes.

This game is difficult to describe as a game, I see it more as a virtual aquarium and after a stressful day its great to just "dive into the water and lose yourself in the underwater world" for a while. The tasks you are given and the tours you take people on give the game a good structure and stop it from getting mundane, the music is relaxing but it's also great that you can load your memory card with mp3's of your own choice.
 Boring and uncaptivating August 7, 2008

I am 32 year old, into first person shooters, wii sports, racers etc etc.
I bought this based purely on the rave reviews it recieved here and after playing for a couple of hours I was astoundingly bored of swimming around looking at fish with this naff notebook, and felt I was wasting my time. Also, there's the cheesy dialogue with the boat character which has to be suffered. The game itself is very pretty, no doubt, but really feels very unrewarding and I finished playing with absolutely no desire to ever play again.
I kept it for a further two weeks thinking maybe curiosity would get me back in the water, but to no avail. It had to be sold. I'm sure I haven't explored the depths of this game, but for me, a game has to draw you in, and if I can't be bothered after two hours play, its hard to justify investing more time in it.
If you like "relaxing" games maybe this is for you, but I play for excitement, and if I want to relax I can listen to music, read a book or lounge around without pretending to be a diver.
Just a warning to those who may see the amazing reviews, it won't be everyone's cup of tea.
Not for me. August 1, 2008

I am surprised this game gets so many good reviews. I can see an appeal for certain people but to be honest (as some others have said) it is boring. I'm glad i didnt actually buy the game as i think i personally would be disappointed. The graphics are quite nice but not stunning and the controls take a bit of getting used to - i just felt i was waving the Wii remote around all the time - not sure i'd want to do it for a long time as my arm would ache!. I only played for a few mins so maybe i didnt give it chance but i just found it dull. It says you can interact with the sealife but that seemed limited to prodding them and releasing food. I'm not sure what i expected and it seems most people are not calling it a 'game'.
Well you might like it if you are interesting in diving and such like but it just didnt hold the interest for me.
 You must be fairly stressed to want to play this August 1, 2008

I really didnt like this game it was too boring, not saying the graphics are bad as they were mega, but it didnt do for me as I like a bit of action, probably suit somebody who is very stressed who wants to relax, and ofcourse the younger generation, but not a game for me.
