Sometimes I get really excited about a game and have to get it the day it is released. The last game that was like that for me was SSX Blur. But now on the horizon is Endless Ocean for the Wii. It’s basically a scuba diving game, but it seems really cool. The music sounds great, and the sound effects are very relaxing. Visually, it looks awesome! Plus, there is supposed to be online play, where you can dive co-op with your friends (if they have the game as well).

I’m sure that this game seems boring to most people, but I love these kinds of games. Sometimes I’d rather watch something that is just plain nice to look at, and while it may be lacking in excitement or suspense, it is still satisfying to spend time playing. I am hoping that the online play is innovative and fun, though. It seems like it would be pretty cool to go exploring with others on the Wii. Also it would be nice to be able to collect sunken treasure and keep it for display to other online players.

Endless Ocean (Forever Blue フォーエバー ブルー in Japan) is due out on October 29th, and I will be picking it up as soon as I can. Check out some videos at gametrailers.com and the Japanese Forever Blue site.
