The exploration is good, but lacks gorgeous graphics. I think DSI games needs to improve the graphics engine and put more effort. The Wii hardware is not the problem.
You can see the picks of Endless Ocean and you say: whoaa that is gorgeous graphics!!

Bought this game for my grandson (9 yr. old with asperger syndrome/high functioning autism) who is totally into fossils, dinosaurs, sea creatures, etc. He loves the game and plays it when he comes over each week. You are able to become different creatures who can do different things and go different places in order to find more fossil pieces to complete skeletal remains. Watching him play I see that it is a good challenge for him and gives him great satisfaction when he conquers each level. I could see where some older kids(teens) and or adults may get somewhat bored with it at times. There is not a lot of variety in scenery or what you need to perform. It may depend on your personality and what you enjoy, but if you want a lot of action, this is not your game. If you want a sense of discovery in a less stressful underwater world, you will find it enjoyable.

Hopefully, you've not yet made the mistake of buying this game. If you're expecting Endless Ocean with fish-osaurs, predation, and blood, you're out of luck. Instead, what you get is a big fish, swimming around, looking for fossils, and occasionally eating something. The graphics are sub-par, the control is lacking, there's no plot, it's just not a fun game. If you want an underwater game, try Endless Ocean.

Well I thought "hey, my pal likes dinosaurs, and this game is about dinosaurs, and it's in the ocean, kinda like Endless Ocean or something, so why not get him this for Christmas (this was a while ago)?" So I got it for him and he immediately responded with "yea... that game was crap."
I wasn't really surprised because I knew what I had bought him was a cheap game... but he told me it was REALLY bad:

Graphics: 1 star - not even up to par with Gamecube

Sound: No idea

Story: 1 star - You are different dinosaurs, but not very many of them are playable... and you go around killing other dinosaurs in the ocean... not much story...

Replay Value: None

Overall: Well, I have to give it a 1 star.

I only gave it a two star for fun because my friend likes dinosaurs so that saved the present for him. So, in conclusion, this game is a piece of junk and levels as the grindhouse game of the Wii. Not in a good way though.

PS. He got me Endless Ocean

I picked this game up used because it looked and sounded interesting... I'm really glad I got it used because I would be kicking myself if I had paid full price. This game is extremely boring, you just swim around and collect whatever fossils you can find. The graphics are not up to today's standards, and the controls are not nearly as intuitive as every other Wii game I've played. Very disappointing all around. It will be going back to the store tomorrow.

If you like playing Ecco the Dolphin just to swim around, this game is fun. Swim around as creatures with various abilities, depth, speed, power, etc... collecting things and unlocking other creatures and playing little quest missions. Fighting controls tough to figure out, but fun lazy swimming dino game, enjoy.

I bought this game for my daughter. It took her about one week to finish-the game itself is very entertaining and a very good learning experience. Playing it with the Wii remote was very easy to master and the simulation and grafics overall are very good. The only downside to the game is that it's too short and easy to finish. Hopefully if they make a part 2 they will make it longer and a little harder to finish.

Not fun. Much better games out there for this sort of thing - Endless Ocean of course. Just a poorly conceived film tie-in product that really doesn't need to exist.

I bought the game for my six year old son. He absolutely loves it. He is fascinated with the animals.

From my son's perspective this is a very cool game. It is easy for him to use and very interactive.
