Endless Ocean 2 IGN UK review

Like a beautiful underwater Animal Crossing, 2007's Endless Ocean was pretty much the complete antithesis of the hectic, violent modern videogame. Gentle, relaxing, open-ended, it was the perfect stress reliever. A gorgeous and hugely atmospheric game that soothed away your cares by sending you out to explore the secrets of the deep blue sea at your leisure.

Two years on, developer Arika has delivered a sequel that not only improves on everything that people loved about the original, but delivers a much more structured and engaging experience right from the beginning. Although many players loved the pressure-free sandbox design of old, others failed to appreciate its charms precisely because of this lack of direction. With that in mind, it's perhaps no great surprise to see that Adventures of the Deep immediately goes a lot further in giving players a greater sense of purpose from the outset.

Monster Hunter Tri bundled with Wii Speak? Sweet. What's this black Classic Controller Pro though?

Capcom helped nintendo with the design. Doesn't seem that much different to me though, aside from the wings.

Alright that's it, GG works for IGN UK confirmed!

Well.... I am intellectually challenged you know

Interesting. Someone tally up RE4 GC/PS2/Wii sales plz.

Going forward, Capcom says it is likely to outsource only existing properties "with well-established characters and universal themes" to Western developers. "Overseas companies will also handle certain parts and/or lineups of such games," the company concludes.

In other words, they're only gonna let outside developers handle games that can basically be copy-pasted with proven gameplay and concepts, like the Resident Evil formula as an example. That way coming up with new ideas and concepts isn't an issue; they can just blatantly rip off the previous titles and everyone's happy.

Man, RE5 is Capcom's 2nd best-selling game? That kind of disappoints me. Good game, but there's many better titles on that list.

The wings make the controller USABLE to me though. The old model was fine on SNES when I was 11 years old or whatever, but times have changed. Its nice to have grip, especially with analog sticks.

They also changed the should buttons and improved them it looks like. Nice looking controller....kind of what the GAMECUBE controller should have been.

i think it's nice as well and i would have bought one if i didn't have a classic controller already.  i agree that it's better to have the grips, but it's not so much better to buy a new controller for that alone.  and it still cannot be used for gamecube games can it?  and it still doesn't have rumble.

think the only chance of me getting one is if it is practically a giveaway in the MH3 bundle ie no more than 5-6 pounds more expensive than the solus game

Yeah that's totally lame that it doesn't have vibration. SO CLOSE NINTENDO......so close to actually having a controller that does everything it should do! LOL
