There is a beautiful game for Wii where you can dive, interact with fish, and do al kinds of stuff!
Lets see which game I'm talking about
In this game you get your very own boat, and you can travel the entire Manaurai Sea in the Paoul Republic.
When you dive into the sea you can do many different things.
First of all, if you see a fish you never saw before, and you want to know what fish it is, then click on it, and you will see its name. But its not that easy.
If its the first time you saw the fish, then it won't show its name. You'll
have to do stuff to attract it. Apart from the name you will also discover information on that fish making this game highly educational
You can pet them. This works great with all small common fish.
You can give it food. This is very useful when you can't get close to a fish because it gets scared so food lures it in.
You can draw colorful lines around it with a pen to attract it.
Or you can blow a whistle that emits sound waves. Works mostly with big fish. Especially dolphins.
If you become close friends with a fish they might follow you on the rest of your dive! If you become friends with many fish you'll end up followed by a ton of fish that play around and show you where special hidden fish are.
You can find all kinds of fish in the ocean. Squids, octopuses, seahorses, sharks, whales, sealions, walruses, seaslugs, and more!
There are 4 whale species in all.
Fish won't attack you.
The fish change from day to night and from season to season.
The camera can be put in 3rd and 1st person views and their are some music tracks you can listen to but they are mostly opera singing but with actual words and not just oooooohoaoaaaaaha!!!
If you hate opera, you are still saved since you can listen to music on an SD card!
When in the ocean you can freely move your diver in any direction. To swim, point at the screen and hold down B to start swimming. To change direction, simply move the cursor in the direction you want to go.
If you are lazy and can't hold down B for too much time, you can enable autoswim where the diver keeps swimming and you just need to change direction.
You can take pictures too and put them in your album.
If you are close to something like a rock or the ground, you can press + to get a closer look at things. By doing so, you can find tiny fish you wouldn't normally see. And if you're lucky, you can find objects.
The objects you can find are bottles, necklaces, ancient ruin stuff, fossils and so on.
Your air tank lasts a LOT. Like an hour. When you finish your air, you die....LOL! not really. You just are forced to go back to your boat.
If you meet a fish like a dolphin or others and become very close friends with it, it'll start following you and when you go back to your boat the fish will become your partner! So when you go on a dive you can bring along a partner for company whenever you want!
But the best part is...you can train them to do tricks like flips, and spins!
The more time you'll spend with the fish, the better it'll become in its tricks. Try beating your personal record!
Life on the ship is different. You can do many things. You can customize your character with better tanks, cooleer suits, gloves, flippers, jackets, and hairstyles.
You can put your photos in your album, move your boat, see all the species you encountered, save your progress and check your mail.
In your mail you can recieve diving guide requests where you take a client diver on a tour around the sea to hopefully get some equipment as a gift from the client if the guide was good. There are other requests too like taking a photo of a certain fish
You can also recieve information on areas you visited. The info will tell you what kinds of special fish you can find there and other stuff.
On your boat you can also find animals.
You can find penguins, polar bears, birds, and other animals that somehow appear on your boat. These work just like fish. Pet them to know what animal it is.
But whats the actual goal of the game? Is there a storyline to follow?
Yes there is. Theres a lady on the boat that tells you things to do like "There is a legend about an underwater cave somewhere around the southern part of the sea. Why don't you go check it out?"
You don't have to do these "missions". But if you do you could know where certain rare fish are located and also find special objects.
Wi-fi is cool. You can go on dives with friends and send messagess with the d-pad. You have many messages to choose from.
You can also exchange photos.
You can find more screenshots of Endless ocean here:http://www.gamespot.com/wii/adventure/foreverblue/images.html
The sea is very vast and awaits your full exploration!
