What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"A dolphin may not be as flashy as a hedgehog, but moreso than Sonic's Adventure, Ecco is a nearly perfect update of a 16-bit classic; it translates the gameplay and the world underneath the waves in amazing new ways. "
"Ignore the gameplay for a second and you'll see that Appaloosa has been able to give us the most beautiful Dreamcast game to date. The sheer magnitude of what they came up with in this relatively tiny section of the Earth's Ocean is amazing. There are many species of fish, turtles are everywhere, Sharks swim around with grace and even a Whale or two shows up."
"Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future combines the best underwater virtual environment you’ve ever seen with the least interesting game you’ve ever played. "
"The graphics are great, the music fits the game well, it's definitely original and the game lasts longer than I would of though, so it's well worth your money. "
"The accuracy of movement afforded by the game is actually quite amazing. When you place a video of a real dolphin beside the sophisticated Ecco movements, you will easily identify how much research work Appaloosa has done to create the realistic physics."
