Fun for our whole family
This game is educational and fun for several people at once. My children (13 and 10) both enjoy going on quests, learning about the wide variety of animals, doing tricks with dolphins, guiding other divers, taking photos for magazines, and searching for treasure and rare creatures. I like to play it as much as they do! We all like to watch while one of us plays. The music is beautiful, too, but you can turn it down or off if you get tired of it. Controls are fairly easy to master. Now the kids are eager to go to an aquarium to look for the fish they've learned about.

Endless Ocean reviewed
The best thing about Endless Ocean is all the different and neat fish there are to find, identify and learn more about. We learned a lot about fish that we didn't know before.
It is slow moving, but very interesting.
We bought this game before we traveled to Maui for a family vacation. We did a lot of snorkeling there and saw some of the same fish as were on the game! That was neat.
The graphics are pretty good. I would recommend it!
