Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - Maybe....
I'm thinking that rating this game is pretty subjective because it's so different from other games. It's pretty low key and relaxing. It might be educational but wasn't stimulating to me. However, maybe you don't want to be all the time. I would rate the graphics as fair to good because the colors are not so intense as in other games. I wouldn't rate it low just because it's not interesting to me. An 11 year old I know played it for over an hour and he thought that it was okay. He is quite ... Read More
Rating:  - Beautiful Game! Lots Of Fun Exploring.
"Endless Ocean" was released in January of 2008. Unfortunately, this is a game I let "slip through the cracks" so to speak. For one thing, I didn't have a Wii then and when I finally got one there were several other titles I wanted instead of this one.
I'm glad I finally bought it because this is a beautiful game. Unlike many reviewers here who said they got bored that's because you're not accepting this game for what it is. I will tell you what it is not: it isn't a shoot 'em up, bang, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Game!!!!!
This is a great game. It is ultra fun and relaxing. You can do so much! I have two partners, a dolphin, and a false killer whale. It is cool to go under water,and ride on some whales or fish. The only problem is when a friend comes over wifi, You cannot chat, and it is easy to get lost from your partner. Overall, this is the best game i have ever played and You should buy it. Note that you do not want to rent the game though. It is hard to "finish" the game.
GREAT GAME!!!!!
Rating: - For Wii, Beautiful and Peaceful...But not Action
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 ... Read More
Rating: - It's addicting!
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 ... Read More
