Endless Ocean_ Blue World Review_ The Wii Game You're Wrong About
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
There’s an optical illusion that sometimes appears to be an ugly hag, sometimes a beautiful lady. There’s a Rorschach blot that looks like a butterfly and a couple making love. This is the Wii equivalent. The people who run Nintendo might want me to describe Endless Ocean: Blue World to you as the Wii’s second scuba-diving simulator. And it is. It is a vast simulation of scuba-diving and seal-life-spotting set in lovely locales around the world, all easily controlled with a Wii remote. But, sorry Nintendo marketing people, your secret isn’t safe.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); This game is also a stealth role-playing game, a game with more than a hundred esoteric side goals, and enough obscure side quests that it makes Rune Factory Frontier look streamlined and the average Final Fantasy quest for ultimate weapons seem as simple as a walk to the mailbox. What in the world? Exactly. Loved The Quest For Beauty: The first and this second Endless Ocean are unusual games that propel the player through their adventure by dangling the disappointingly uncommon carrot of aesthetic beauty. Why keep playing an Endless Ocean? While the second one gums up the answer by adding so many traditional gaming quests to the formula and Xbox Achievement-like statuses to seek, you play these games in order to witness the next beautiful thing. As you swim through an Endless Ocean game, your reward for diving to the black depths is the majestic whale you find serenely swimming past your cave. Your reward for swimming to a new corner of your tropical dive spot is the school of fish that dances by the coral as a sea turtle gently flaps its flippers near two gliding manta rays. In real life and virtual life there are people who climb mountains to stand on a summit or to say how many meters they’ve hiked. But there are also, in real life, people who do it for the sights and the beauty. Endless Ocean: Blue World is a video game for those people. Bigger, Better And More Blue: Endless Ocean: Blue World enjoys many of the advantages common in sequels. While the first Endless Ocean let the player dive into and explore one large sea of diverse climate, arming them with an underwater camera and pen, the new game sends the player from the Arctic to the Antarctic, under water, down to shipwrecks and occasionally up onto land, armed with camera, pen and a zapper gun that, goofily, heals sick fish and calms enraged ones. The game also adds a deeper companion system for diving with more characters, and being able to train and swim with more dolphin pals. It adds an optional aquarium simulator that allows you to worry about visitor attendance, exhibit variety and income. Also it gives you a base island to [[link]] alter and upgrade as well as a coral reef that can be decorated with collected items and used to attract any of more than a hundred of species of sealife. There’s more, but you get the idea. And It Looks Good Too: When your character is on the boat from which he dives or chatting with the ever-expanding group of people in his diving team, the graphics are about as impressive as crayon scribbles I made in kindergarten. But when our scuba hero gets underwater, this game looks as lovely as most games in the so-called HD era. The kelp forests are magnificent, the jellyfish enchanting and, well maybe the sharks look a little stiff and silly when angry,but the penguins look darn good even as beaching killer whales are trying to eat them. The Right Controller: Endless Ocean Blue World may support the classic controller, but there is a simple elegance to controlling your diver with the gentle pointing and tilting of a Wii remote. Motion control is ideal here, though some of the button assignments, which had me sometimes
