I heard about Endless Ocean not long after the Wii came out. Mostly just the lines of “A game where you’re diving in the ocean”. Considering the way the Wii works, sounded pretty cool and perked my interest, but since we didn’t get a Wii I just never thought of it again. A bit ago

rhast rented it from Blockbuster and was telling me about it. Sounded something right up my alley.
So, as y’all know, I got the Wii a week ago. Wii sports is fun and all, but, truth be told, I seriously needed something soothing to escape the stress of Mom. I -was- going to go to blockbuster and rent some Wii games, but they don’t HAVE a blockbuster here. It closed down sometime this winter. The nearest blockbuster is down in South Bend, IN, which is around an hour away. Er, sorry but no deal. Well, I had a really bad day, so I just went over and picked it up at Best Buy.
After putting it in the Wii, the first thing I’m introduced to is something that blows me away.. the intro song. I’ve already posted the lyrics to it: “Prayer” by Hayley Westenra. Haunting, enticing… the perfect song to go diving to. Character creation was somewhat customizable. More than I expected, but still pretty limited. Doesn’t matter though. There are more costuming options that are unlockable throughout the game and you’re able to change everything about how your character looks except gender.
