Product Description
Discover the beauty of the sea and take part in various activities such as swimming, exploring marine life or cataloguing tropical fish with this new Touch! Generations title. 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. Assume the role of the diver, opting to go into the water to explore sea-life at your own pace utilizing tools such as a camera or fish bait. In the cabin on the boat, you can access the fish log to check out the fish that have been spotted, as well as carry out missions like photographing marine life. 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. Interact with fish or plants and discover new species while building up your fish log. Befriend companions like a dolphin which will become your partner and with whom you can train and swim with. The Wii's unique Wi-Fi Connection Service allows players link up with your friends. By exchanging friend codes, two players may dive and explore the ocean together.
Looking to kick back and relax? Endless Ocean features several soothing modes. On the deck of the boat is a deckchair that allows you to sit and watch the sea. Alternatively in the aquarium section of the game, you can select fish they have seen and add them in an aquarium for a closer inspection. The relaxed setting is further heightened with a

 Subtle but worth it July 6, 2008
Absolutely wonderful.
Not a perfect scuba simulation, not a perfect game, not for those with an ADHD attention span. Instead what you get is an imaginative, engaging journey that few video games if any will approach in a commercial market. You spend your hours exploring the coral reef ecnountering fantastic adaptations of sea life from whales, octopus, dolphins, sharks, starfish, penguins, and a wealth of brilliant fish. There is on-line play, a modest plot of interest, and ability to play your own mp3s. Visually, the game is appealing despite the lower resolution graphics of the Wii system compared to other systems.
My only hope is that more games like this will surface in the gamer community.
WONDERFUL Game! July 3, 2008
The BEST game I've ever played! So much fun! It's a satisfying game without going around and shooting things! Excellent music! I can't say enough! This game is AWESOME! (I'm a 40 yo mom that loves games).
Endless Fun & Education June 28, 2008
We bought this game last night and I'v aleady logged in 5 hours. It's a great sit down game when you don't want to be too active (or unable to). The under water graphics are great! However, on topside, they're kind of cheap.
Overall, I really like the game and plan on spending a lot of time playing and discovery new things about the ocean and marine life.
Fun for our whole family June 24, 2008
This game is educational and fun for several people at once. My children (13 and 10) both enjoy going on quests, learning about the wide variety of animals, doing tricks with dolphins, guiding other divers, taking photos for magazines, and searching for treasure and rare creatures. I like to play it as much as they do! We all like to watch while one of us plays. The music is beautiful, too, but you can turn it down or off if you get tired of it. Controls are fairly easy to master. Now the kids are eager to go to an aquarium to look for the fish they've learned about.
Endless Ocean reviewed June 24, 2008
The best thing about Endless Ocean is all the different and neat fish there are to find, identify and learn more about. We learned a lot about fish that we didn't know before.
It is slow moving, but very interesting.
We bought this game before we traveled to Maui for a family vacation. We did a lot of snorkeling there and saw some of the same fish as were on the game! That was neat.
The graphics are pretty good. I would recommend it!
