Product Description
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

Glad I bought it! January 8, 2009

I read other reviews before buying this and thought it would be a good game for the family. They seem intrigued with it so far. My girls are 7 and 11, and they like it. I am glad I got it and they seem to enjoy the time spent on it.

I received this game for Christmas. I really had a fun time playing this game although it is not endless. I was able to complete the game in two days. It kept my interest and I found it very enjoyable. The fish were very realistic and educational.
For me - Great! Rest of the family - boring. January 4, 2009

Shortly after buying a Wii for my wife, 29 and holding, and I, 57 yrs. old, to use - had a blast at Thanksgiving playing with my son's Wii - my son's girl friend gave me their copy of this game. My son, 32 yrs old, rolled his eyeballs and warned me that the game was boring and that neither my son, his girl friend, my daughter nor son-in-law enjoyed this game. I took it anyway and gave it a try. Got entirely hooked. Relaxing exploration, fish species learning, adventure, a few exciting moments, easy to learn, easy natural controls, really beautiful graphics and music. Could use a larger ocean - not really endless and a few different game paths but all-in-all I really enjoyed this game. I played this for 45 hours before getting finished with the first adventure and have spent about 20 more hours just exploring. Game was really fun for the first 45 hours. After that it becomes only occasionally fun as you have seen most everything by then. I still have not given up on it and will be better exploring the M Cave better - maybe more adventures await.
Peaceful exploration, easy goals December 31, 2008

My 5 year old son loves this game and it's on his daily play list. He can play it by himself but we have fun finding new sea life together and then reviewing the game's encyclopedia. He's actually taught me a couple of things with the controls. I might play it myself but like a little more action. However if you like learning, low intensity games, and/or easy controls I say get it. We've still having fun.
