Beautiful Graphics and Very Educational [Posted on 2008-08-11]
I bought this game for my 6-year-old son, who loves anything to do with the ocean. I fell in love with the game myself and would play with it for hours just to uncover more species. The graphics are beautifully done and most creatures appear to be very real. Love the night-diving feature. I believe my son has learned a lot more about marine life through this game. And I can name more fish the next time we go snorkling!
Peaceful, but a little bored [Posted on 2008-08-12]
Everyone else said the same thing. It's a little bored. But if you are tired and just want to relax, this is a good choice.
Educational [Posted on 2008-08-16]
I purchased this game for our son who is 7 and loves animals and fish, to be honest the 1st time we played it we were a liltle worried....but as time went on we found our way. Our son loves it, and gets a kick when he can check his book to see what new animals he had found. The best part is when you get to train your diving partner. It has become a contest to see who can fill their book up the first. High recommended : )
It's addicting! [Posted on 2008-08-18]
I kept avoiding renting this game when my kids wanted to because it sounded boring, like watching a fireplace on TV, but finally gave in. Wow! I'm glad I did! It's alot more than just sight-seeing. It's a treasure hunt, dolphin training, and much more! And yes, very addicting (I found I had passed 3hrs of time playing while my kids slept Saturday morning!)
The only bad points: The people are a bit wooden (WHY don't Wii people TALK instead of having to read the text?! and who cares about 'earning' a new hairstyle?!), and the fact that if you don't save your progress you have to start over/go through all the training exercises, even if you know how to do things (having watching another play)
Definitely one of those "fun for all ages" and very informative (IF you can get your kids to stop and actually read all the information on the various fish!)
For Wii, Beautiful and Peaceful...But not Action [Posted on 2008-08-29]
Of the 8 or so Wii games I have, this is probably my favorite for graphics...which says quite a bit since Wii definitely has the worst graphics of the platforms. The dialogue and general storyplay of this game does lead a lot or a bit (respectively) to be desired, it still was fun to play.
This is also not a game for someone who has a short attention span. It does require you to search around for different fish, animals, or items. If you don't have the patience, then you might want to pass this game up.
