G4TV: Endless Ocean 2: Blue World Review
Ultimately, Endless Ocean: Blue World is a game with great execution that is undermined by a series of poor and uneven design ideas. The tranquil act of exploring life under the sea is inviting, and there’s more than enough activity to keep players engaged. But the game flounders (sorry) in its poor presentation. For every moment it allows you to explore at your own pace, there’s another when it robs you of control, holds your hand, or makes you jump through hoops.
Blue World is like scuba diving on a leash. The sights are pretty, but you’re not given enough leeway in exploration, making this supposedly "endless" ocean feel rather restrictive. Though at least you don’t have to worry about getting the bends.
