Endless Ocean [NTSC]

Endless
Ocean is an underwater exploration through the pristine waters of
fictional Manoa Lai Island. From the moment players experience their
first dive, they’re introduced to a magnificent world of
sun-pierced water, vibrant color, and flourishing sea life. With no
time limits, point systems or possibility of failure, it’s a
pick-up-and-play game for the entire family to enjoy. Intuitive
controls and the game’s encouraging “explore at
your own pace” approach create a momentary retreat.


The beauty of Endless Ocean is that players can do as much or as little
as they like. The relaxed and calm atmosphere of the game gives divers
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.


For players really looking to kick back and relax Endless Ocean
features several soothing modes. On the deck of the boat is a deckchair
that allows the player to sit and watch the sea. Alternatively in the
aquarium section of the game players can select fish they have seen and
add them in an aquarium for a closer inspection. What's more this game
even doubles up as a tranquil screensaver if the Wii Remote is left
untouched. The relaxed setting is further heightened with a tranquil
soundtrack from New Zealand songstress Hayley Westenra.


If players prefer to dive with a buddy, the Wii's unique WiFi
Connection Service allows players link up with their friends. By
exchanging friend codes, two players may dive and explore the ocean
together. In this co-op mode they have access to all the tools that can
be used in single player mode, as well as an additional mode of
communication controlled with the D-pad. With a fish logbook to
complete, items to be salvaged and collected and the ability to listen
to your own MP3's via the Wii SD Card slot while you dive, Endless
Ocean provides hours of entertainment.
