Remember the electronic game "Mysteries of the ocean? Monstrously addictive piece of plastic, inside of which there were three divers, regularly stealing the treasures of sedentary octopus.
So Endless Ocean on it not a bit similar. Even the not so: these games are complete opposites. If the "Electronics" did not know how to get noticed hours, experience and exhale with relief when the safe hunter gold back into the boat, the daughter Nintendo will explain how to relax. A man is known to be endlessly looking at the fire, water ... and now also on Endless Ocean.
This may sound strange, but the boundless ocean still has a border. Invisible walls that prohibit swimming aimlessly and do not give the console mad surge arise whenever we try to go beyond the circle on the map. And you say infinity! Of course, red bagel we are free to rearrange to decide, but the sink is still allowed only in designated areas. Only that you have read about all the main points of gameplay Endless Ocean.

The developers clearly do not like the world that is above the water. The game begins on the deck of a yacht, our floating base. Felling, chaise longue, a pair of Sims (one of them - your hero or heroine: before starting journeys you can choose the alter-ego to your taste), which communicate with gestures - everything looks very sketchy. This kind of three-game menu, on which the cursor instead of walking around the main character. Plot tasks, important announcements and news about the completion of diving clothes come in the form of emails (the communicator in the control room), all the maneuvers on the map are carried out after we tknem finger at the helm (ibid.), standing day and night on the deck of scholarly lady Kateryna share tips or help to move through the story. A curious detail: you can play not only under the original mournful motifs, but also your favorite music. It will record on SD-card, and after including a virtual stereo system. What you have there, "Leningrad"?
The game creators have done everything that you did not stay on the boat. There's boring, it's ugly. There randomly appearing animals - penguins, seals, seagulls. All of them are certainly willing to be your nintendogom to get attention and affection entertained. Deciding to spend a couple of minutes on the game with a nice flipper, you risk spending a few hours at the screen by waving the remote and razuchivaya with pet-slowpoke especially nice jump. Do not succumb to provocation - select option Dive.

This Endless Ocean begins underwater. When eyes become accustomed to the form of meadows and coral beds of sea anemones. When you begin to breathe in the same rhythm as the main character - a leisurely long deep breath and exhale, instantly turning into a trail of bubbles. The process is simple: we are immersed and are looking more and more species of fish and mammals that are found there. In frolicking shoal of mackerel can poke a finger or sypanut feed - it's called the study of animals. If you hold button "A" and frantically shake the Wiimote, the cursor will turn into a sprawling palm and "scratch" beast. Equally well can be ironed blue whales, sharks, sea saws, deadly zebra fish (aka samara striped, it is Pterois volitans). After such niceties name fish appear on the bottom screen, and her photo perekochuet log of observations. Along with the advancement of the plot and expand your arsenal - will appear, such as cameras, with which it is necessary to take pictures of marine life.

Coincidence or not, do not know. However, the name of the game is strongly reminiscent of The Endless Forest - the project is just as extraordinary. It is impossible to shoot, drive cars, perform missions or quests. There we ("play" - wrong though) becomes a real deer wandered through the woods and fields, and communicate with other unfortunates who ugorazdilo create a virtual pet. Forbidden to talk, chat either. We can only votes cast, rubbing against the other horns, nod his head. Although the words gameplay seems incredibly boring, The Endless Forest is in demand. Moreover, developers add new scenic location, as emaciated long work in the clerk's office should somehow relax. Let go for a walk, admiring the swamps and thickets of the fern, roaring, shaking horns ...

You can not just dive in solitude. If you pull the ladder on a yacht, a menu appears that allows you to dive with another owner of consoles and games (do not forget about the Internet connection). In single mode the role of satellites perform wishing to practice diving. Clients send a request via e-mail, which tells about what they had long dream of seeing, say, fish, parrot, and can not imagine life without further sightseeing Lagoon. We have to dive with them and seek the appropriate fishes, without the camper will not be satisfied. But after a good walk can give something useful.
Someone you definitely would say that Endless Ocean is incredibly beautiful. The screenshots and commercials she really knows how to look pretty.However it cost to play in person to make a true opinion. Sometimes it happens on the screen perfectly, giant whales, sailing towards us, it looks extremely impressive. Shoal of fish, colorful bottom surprise and delight, until it becomes clear that this world is poorly responsive to our presence. First sailed through the algae, then through a shark fin, fish stung surgeon, flipper hit a satellite in the respiratory tube. Zero attention. In addition, the location of the game are divided into special (they have their names marked on the map) and the ordinary. The latter is usually empty and boring - it's endless texture with a minimum of interactive objects. But first, on the contrary, are quite diverse. Coral forest, flooded caves with cones of sunlight streaming through the "roof". Dense jungle of seaweed, dark a gaping cavity where will not be allowed without special equipment. Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles ...
