ENDLESS OCEAN (Nintendo Wii)

Forever Ocean gives players the freedom to dive in tropical waters and discover the sea life and unique locations that are hidden underwater.

The Player may choose to simply swim and explore or complete his fish log, by touching and stroking fish with the Wii Remote. There is also the chance in the game to meet a dolphin where the player can play mini-games and progress the relaxed storyline. With the WiFi connection, two players can dive together in each others oceans. The Pointer Device on the Wii Remote is used consistently throughout the game to navigate, where the diver follows the pointers cursor and is seen on screen as a bright blue dot; this gives the player a close sensation of diving. When the player wants to interact with a fish, he highlights it with the pointer and clicks with the A button, subsequently holding the A button and shaking the controller lets the player stroke fish. There are some minor uses of the motion sensors, with flicks of the Wii Remote will allow the diver to perform barrel roles and loops. Through exchanging friend codes, two players may dive together. They use all the tools that can be used in single player mode, and have an additional mode of communication by pressing up on the dpad. Players can choose from preset phases and greetings from this area.

• Forever Ocean supports MP3 files on SC cards so the player can listen to his own music whilst diving and relaxing under water
