So boring. I did 4 or so. I don't mind them but I dont want to have to repeat them to get this befriending info. It was hard enough training the dolphin up. I'm at 850'000 and nearing the 1 mill for the cavern re-opening.  Comment #63919 http://thevgpress.com/do/seeComment.php?externalID=318&commentType=4&date=1269845884&id=63889 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 07:58:04 GMT You're still not there yet?

The first Endless Ocean was a glorified diving simulator which led some people to complain that it wasn't a game at all. I was right there with you guys; I could barely muster up the interest to slip the disc into my Wii. A title centered on diving was so out of my gaming wheelhouse that I thought I'd hate every blue-tinted minute of it. I don't even like seafood.<br /><br />I was wrong.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Let me put it in game terms you can understand. Have you ever tried to get all of the achievements in a game? Do you get a special kick out of completing quests in an RPG while collecting crafting materials and leveling up your riding skill all at the same time? Have you ever gotten a kick out of finding something in the sand, and wished it was part of some grand story involving sunken castles and ancient treasure? Do you have a completionist gaming attitude that drives you to purchase every unlockable item and level up everything? Is there a part of you that needs to explore every part of the map? Do you have even a passing interest in marine biology?<br /><br />If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, then there is more than enough game in EO:BW to keep you occupied for hours more than most titles out there. There's just so much to do. You can concentrate on the adventure story. You can collect ancient coins. You can design your own private reef. You can take clients diving for specific creatures, or you can take on photo assignments to snap pictures of marinelife for magazines. You can befriend aquatic mammals and teach them tricks. You can curate the three floors of an aquarium in Japan. You can salvage goods from ancient Greek shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea. Through it all, you are rewarded by leveling your skills and given currency which you can spend on more collectibles or better equipment to further advance your diving abilities. Even some of the items you purchase open up quests, stories to be told and even more things to achieve.<br /><br />But the beauty of EO:BW - strike that, the beauty is the fish and other creatures you encounter, more on that later - the best designed part of the game is that it doesn't force you to do any of these activities. You are free to progress however you like and the game incentive-ises each of them so that they do not feel worthless. And each system is integrated. I found it satisfying every time I recognized a new species of fish and was rewarded with another ding. That fish was then added to my encyclopedia of marine knowledge back on the base at Nineball Island and I could add it to a tank at the aquarium in Japan.<br /><br /></p><p>Eat your heart out Jacques Cousteau and Steve Zissou.

Poor writing, painful music, and several design choices constantly interrupt the core gameplay; however, scavenging for treasure in the deep and observing its sea life remains curiously compelling.</i><br /><br /><br />3 out of 5<br /></p> <p><br />To quote their review:<br /><br /><i>"Along the way, they find themselves roped into solving the age-old mystery of the "Song of Dragons.” Laughable dialogue, lackluster plot twists, and preachy messages hobble any potential this may have had as a narrative-driven underwater archaeological adventure. Worse is that the game is unusually talky, detracting from its main appeal which is diving."<br /><br />""Don't Hold Your Breath."<br /><br />It's a shame then that Blue World is constantly interrupting the flow (no pun intended) with cutscenes, text bubbles, menus, and loading screens. Much of Blue World is needlessly complicated. For example, some side-quests involve salvage missions in which you must scan the seafloor for treasure, which sounds simple enough. But to get your treasure appraised, you have to exit the level, go through yet another loading screen to reach the main hub, use your radio to call your mobile shopkeep, then have her appraise said loot to see if it contains your bounty. If that wasn't roundabout enough, it's a wonder why the designers felt the need to limit the player's time with a depleting air gauge. Striving for realism is one thing, but then how does one magically warp back to their boat and still not get the bends? <br /><br />While the underwater graphics are quite nice with detailed character models, textures, and animations, the ones above sea level leave something to be desired. Character models have looked better on Dreamcast, and their lip movements resemble automatons on an amusement park ride. There's no voice-acting or mumble-speak, which renders the characters even more robotic. It’s a very archaic approach to presentation.<br /><br />It bears mention that the soundtrack is terrible.

Lot of sites with long reviews, instead of ignoring it like the first. Comment #59058 http://thevgpress.com/do/seeComment.php?externalID=318&commentType=4&date=1267274183&id=59008 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:36:23 GMT <span class="newsBlurbTitle"><a href="http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=509" target="_blank">Endless Ocean Blue World 9/10 review</a></span> <span class="newsBlurbSummary"><font size="2">One of Wii’s deepest, most surprisingly enjoyable games.</font></span> <br /><blockquote class="commentQuote"> <div class="quoteName">said:</div> <div class="quoteText"> <p class="article first">The original Endless Ocean was a strange title to <a class="iAs" href="http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=509#" target="_blank">gamers</a>. We say strange in the lightest terms possible as it seemed to epitomise the term ‘Marmite game’. What we mean by Marmite is that half of the population seemed to love the change of pace, hidden depth and serene nature whilst the rest of the gaming crowd sat on the shore pointing and laughing as they continued playing their traditional titles.</p> <p class="article">As you can imagine Endless Ocean didn’t make a big splash, only minor ripples. But those ripples were obviously felt as we find ourselves diving back into the world of underwater exploration in <em>Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep</em>. And the subtitle is important. You see, Endless Ocean was an enjoyable title sure, but a title which lacked any real cohesion. You could argue that the beauty of Endless Ocean was in its open-natured structure against the natural backdrop of the vast sea at hand, but in the face of all things videogaming, structure plays a pivotal part in guiding any participant’s experience.</p> <p class="article">The story in Endless Ocean 2 isn’t going to win any awards, with some ham-fisted writing (look out for a brilliant “it’s not rocket-science” mistranslation) and an absurd plot that barely manages to keep you playing until the end. But once you get there and each locale is then available for you to soak in and explore at your own pace, the title truly establishes itself as a true ‘gamer’s’ <a class="iAs" href="http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=509#" target="_blank">game</a>.</p> <p> </p><img src="http://n-europe.com/games/endless2/19.jpg" width="500" alt="19.jpg" /><br />Pictures are taken via the in-game camera <p></p> <p class="article">As you progress through the main story arc you’ll be whisked away to areas such as Antarctica, Japan and South America whilst building a colourful cast of characters from the starting point of Jean-Eric, an old sea dog (who looks like Captain Birdseye) and his 15 year old Granddaughter Oceane Rouvier who are both investigating the ‘Song of Dragons’.</p> <p class="article">The locals add more mystery to the story and certainly keep the proverbial carrot dangling but it’s the change in locales which defines the Endless Ocean 2 experience. With blue seas Wave Race would be proud of, Akira’s passion for all things underwater are truly exposed with some tremendous underwater experiences. Swimming in these new areas offers a fresh slant on the already established format and your senses will be delighted as you experience the murky depths of multiple sites (and all that they house) the world over. Even areas such as the Red Sea differ in their tone and artistry to, say, the starting locales. This, coupled with the expanded Aquarium feature (which obliterates the original’s) goes to show how much effort has gone into establishing Endless Ocean 2 as an improvement over the original title. </p> <p class="article">Flaws? Sure, some creatures animate stiffly (Great White Sharks for instance) and above the water you will (again) be exposed to Thunderbird like animation, but taken as a whole the title looks astonishing from both the aforementioned artistic point of view and in its depth of detail. Far more ship-wrecks adorn the sea-bed, far more areas house exciting discoveries and every area has a special personality which makes it stand far above its predecessor. Swimming at different times of the day further concretes this statement and to see this is to see how much effort has gone into each and every area’s presentation with time also affecting the sea life.</p> <p> </p><img src="http://n-europe.com/games/endless2/20.jpg" width="500" alt="20.jpg" /><br />Polar Bears...Man eating mammals! <p></p> <p class="article">Infact, the only area in which Endless Ocean 2 pales in comparison to the original is in its soundtrack. You may remember Hayley Westenra featured in the original outing alongside the ability to customise your soundtrack. Both options are now sadly missing with only an artist dubbed as “Celtic Woman” featuring. Some of the tracks are beautiful and are used at just the right times (discovering something vast, emotional moments in the story arc etc..) but the lack of a customisable soundtrack and use of poor elevator-like music when traversing means that Endless Ocean 2 ends up sounding inferior to the original.</p> <p class="article">Fans of the original will be glad to know that successful elements of Endless Ocean return. The use of tools underwater remains (with some being tweaked to be more user-friendly) and new tools make an appearance too. Hunting treasure is now done with a wonderful sonar device which makes treasure hunting <a class="iAs" href="http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=509#" target="_blank">fun</a> (think the ‘cold, warm, HOT!’ game) and there is a pulsar which means you can finally kill Jaws. I jest...The pulsar is used frequently and is used to both heal and calm irate animals. It’s an interesting well-used feature and actually means that certain creatures will now attack you which gives off a wonderful feeling of suspense in certain areas.</p> <p class="article">Just like in the original title you can also bring a diving partner along yet it has been massively expanded here. Each character in your team have their own skills such as pointing out where specific sea creatures are on the map to telling you where you can salvage treasures. The options here are immense and really add an RPG-lite mechanic to the game.</p> <p> </p><img src="http://n-europe.com/games/endless2/16.jpg" width="500" alt="16.jpg" /> <p></p> <p class="article">Endless Ocean 2 is controlled in a similar (IR led) way to the original title which means you just need to point where you wish to go and hold B to gently paddle there. Classic controller support is also available but feels cumbersome and archaic in comparison. We had no issues with the control setup although newcomers may find that pressing 1 to display the map, then using the D-Pad to bring up tools as well as controlling your diver at the same time, a cumbersome process.</p> <p class="article">Other tweaked options make a return such as online multiplayer which now comes with <a class="iAs" href="http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=509#" target="_blank">Wii<img style="padding-bottom:0px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px;padding-left:0px;width:10px;padding-right:0px;float:none;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;height:10px;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px;" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif" alt="mag-glass_10x10.gif" /></a> Speak compatibility. Sadly we couldn’t find anyone to go online with for this review. (If anyone can let us know how it works or wishes to try it, put your friend code in our forum thread.)</p> <p class="article">Endless Ocean 2 is possibly the most obvious looking game ever. A ‘diving simulation’ if you will. But with a main story arc lasting 8-10 hours, more side quests, errands and diving tours to offer than the entirety of the first title it truly offers a more robust, feature-filled experience. Coupled with more salvaging opportunities, trading and island decorating (which in turn goes on to offer side-quests of its own!) you’ll be exhausted by the time you see all there is to see. We’ve played it for 34 hours and feel like we’re only now getting to grips with the vast amount of content.</p> <p class="article">And as for add-on’s: SD photo saving, online voice chat, educational elements (which are as accessible as you make them) and a wealth of customisation just shows how the content is off the scale. Yes, Endless Ocean 2 may appear to be nothing but a diving simulation but just like its source material this is a title which just keeps producing more secrets the more you explore its depths.</p> <p class="article">Destined to be a title fully explored by few, but those few will have a wealth of stories, secrets and experiences to truly call their own.</p> <p class="article"> </p> <p class="article"><strong>Final Verdict:<br /></strong>For those seeking an enjoyable, good-looking diving experience this is as good as it gets. For those not so sure, just dive in and take the plunge and you’ll find pure gold.

It's a bit different, but its not like a normal sequel which makes the first redundent or anything, its all different locations and music and definetly  a great companion piece to this game. </p> Comment #58171 http://thevgpress.com/do/seeComment.php?externalID=318&commentType=4&date=1266960984&id=58169 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:36:24 GMT <br /><blockquote class="commentQuote"><div class="quoteName">gamingeek said:</div><div class="quoteText"><br /><blockquote class="commentQuote"> <div class="quoteName">Iga_Bobovic said:</div> <div class="quoteText"> <p> </p> <p>P.S. is it possible to play online with the whole world or is it only Euro region?</p></div></blockquote> <p> This is what I want to know. </p> <p> </p> <p>We have 4 europeans with the game here and Bugsy is getting it too right?</p> <p> </p> <p>We should exchange codes.

I met professor Sakurai, no sadly not the sexy creator of Smash, but a woman with degrees in marine biology, archaeology, mechanical engineering and probably some other things. Wow, the really went overboard with that one, plus she is very young for a professor. Might as well have added, trained by NAVY SEALS, model, master of Kama Sutra and Fedor's wife.  </p><p>But okay moving one, I went to Canada and sadly no hobo's to be found. I did find seals, narwhals (fuck yeah) and a ugly shark. Also I am able to pick fishes for aquariums, but have not really explored this part deeply. I also did my first salvaging mission. So much to do in this game. Will play more tomorrow. </p><p>P.S. is it possible to play online with the whole world or is it only Euro region?</p> Comment #58162
