Endless Ocean

Endless Ocean is a unique game that will strike a chord with some and fall flat with others.

"As a side note for those keeping score at home, Endless Ocean maintains its own friend list separate from the Wii hardware. To get your friends to play, you'll have to exchange a game-specific friend code that's automatically generated when you attempt to connect for the first time. This means more big numbers to pass around, but on the plus side, at least you can store up to 42 friends. It's a bit unclear at my current point an hour or so in how much of Endless Ocean is actual 'game' and how much is just pure exploration. Whatever the case, I'm enjoying my time in the waters of Arika's Virtual Sea."

"It's a meditative experience that, like most of Nintendo's off-beat Touch Generations! titles, is niche from the get-go. If it sounds boring to you, then you'll probably find it to be so. If, on the other hand, pure exploration appeals, then Endless Ocean is a pearl."
