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

 It's endlessly wonderful! December 3, 2008
My 6 year old granddaughter would rather use Endless Ocean than any of the other Wii games I offer her. We do have to do it together but it's a great activity for us when we can't be outside. She cannot read all of the information (which is definitely not dumbed down) but she can remember it all after I read it to her. Her parents were impressed with all the learning she has enjoyed.

This game is so different from any of the other games I've seen for the Wii. Actually, it's more of a form of relaxation and discovery since the game story itself is very relaxed. You don't really have any heavy duty "requirements", you mostly just move along at your own speed, discovering the world beneath the ocean's surface.
The graphics are very good and once you figure out how to control your diver, it's very relaxing. There is some music and sounds in the game but you can also use and SD card to play your own mp3's. I just downloaded an mp3 album from amazon called "Heart of the Ocean" by Strong & Bryon that I'm going to listen to while playing the game that I think will add to the relaxation and general feeling. There are all sorts of fish, dolphins, whales, manta rays and other sea life to discover. You can interact by touching or petting them and you can feed them. There's information on the different creatures and you can record what you've discovered by saving it in a log back up on the boat by simply choosing to save the part of the game you're playing that day.
This is a good way to relax when you have a little time at the end of the day and just want to slow down your thoughts before sleeping.

Great game for those who love to explore. Universally appealing game with something for everyone, from the hardcore to their mothers. All of the qualities of a great game, simple concept(exploring the ocean) and wonderful execution. Though it can be quickly blazed through (around 8-10 hours) and the above water parts of the game are bad at best, it is still a wonderful game that everyone(YES, EVEN YOU!) should try.
Awesome Game November 20, 2008

The thing I love about this adventure is that it is both relaxing and stimulating at the same time. After working all day, I can come home and lose myself in a gorgeous, breathtaking ocean. I can also get lost in some pretty tough puzzles, like the things you need to do to complete the Ruins. I cannot think of any other game or adventure that has invoked such jaw-dropping awe in me. Sometimes I actually believe I am swimming along side a whale. How cool is that? And I have actually seen a few whales in real life!

This is the most relaxing thing! My son got me this because I love the ocean, and I am mesmerized by the graphics and sounds. The first time I went in a blue hole, I couldn't take my eyes off the sun rays beaming down. It's the first thing I want to do now when I get home from my stressful teaching job. A few minutes (or an hour) in the deep blue does wonders! Probably not a must have for the typical gamer, but for ocean lovers who just want to escape it's a winner. I wish there were more games like this; I'd definitely get more use out of the family wii.
