Endless Ocean: Blue World for the Nintendo Wii Review
Amazing Enough the Game is a Solid Title
Admittedly, swimming around the ocean healing dolphins and fighting off sharks and such can make for repetitive game play that is not for everyone. But the storyline revolves around buried treasure, lost civilizations, and a strange song that makes for some intriguing evenings. In addition, folks who utilize the Wii Speak (which is included with Endless Ocean Blue World) will enjoy communicating with others, but that little Wii accessory has experienced from a dreadful lack of use in the Wii Community.
Players who are use to a frantic and all out pace in a video game are pretty much out of luck, as the play here is slow and deliberate. The underwater theme can be exciting at times, and slight variations of tasks that need to be completed help keep things moving in the right direction. Swimming around the ocean may sound like a boring game for the average ten or twelve or even thirty seven year old, but this title pulls things off rather nicely. Especially when getting the chance to dive into a shipwreck. The Wii is used pretty well and the controls feel well thought out and tight. Still they can be frustrating at times.
Endless Ocean Blue World is a nice little title that is as educational as it is as fun to play. The game retails for $29.99 at Best Buy or best buy.com, so be careful not to overpay at other locations. The $30 price tag makes it a solid buy at an attractive price. The family may not be playing this come summer time, but this is a nice enough game that it belongs in the library.
