Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep (Wii)
aka Endless Ocean: Deep Blue in North America
Release: Europe, February 5. North America, February 22.
Endless Ocean was one of the surprisingly good games of 2007/08, with its relaxed ocean exploration, fish collection, marine biology and animal mythology, accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack from best-selling New Zealand songstress Hayley Westenra. Since then and now, virtual aquariums and fish-featuring games have been met with massive popular demand on Facebook so it seems that Endless Ocean 2 could not have arrived at a better time. Rather than restricting player activity to one coral reef, this sequel takes in six different areas around the globe. Graphics are improved, there's a greater variety of tasks, mysteries, and animals to pursue, there's treasure trading and co-operative online play returns so that players can dive with friends as well as dolphins. Japanese magazine Famitsu's four reviewers gave it an astounding four 9/10 scores upon its 2009 release there, so EO2 has something for both casual and involved gamers alike.
Price: €29.99 / $29.99
