Ecco the Dolphin : Beautiful but boring...

[RCmodeler]

Just played it yesterday. I was amazed by the sound and graphics. It's the best-looking game I've ever seen on a Cube or PS2 (although GT3 is quite beautiful too). Even the music was perfection.

 

 

Too bad the game was so god-awful boring. And frustrating! I poked around on the first level doing stupid stuff like rescuing a whale and chasing a fish... and then I quit. The camera was annoying, the mini-games stupid, and the DVD is now on ebay. I believed the reviews about Ecco being an awesome game, but it's clear to me that these reviews were just oggling the beautiful T&A... er, polygons and bump-mapping. They neglected to mention how incredibly boring the actual game is.

Not only was it terrible steaming pile, but it was claustrophobic.
