The original Endless Ocean received a pretty high 35/40 in Famitsu, with the breakdown being 10/8/9/8. Endless Ocean 2, which includes cooperative online exploration and supports WiiSpeak has scored only a point higher but more consistently among its four reviewers. The game received a 9/9/9/9 (36/40). How apt, given the issue’s date.
Here’s scores for some other games you might like:
[DS] Saga II: Goddess of Destiny — 9/7/7/8 [DS] Idolm@ster: Dearly Stars — 7/8/8/7 [PS3] Tears to Tiara Gaiden: Mystery of Avalon — 6/6/7/7 [PS3] WET — 7/7/8/8 [Wii] House of the Dead: Overkill — 6/6/6/6 (Haha!) [360] Velvet Assassin — 7/7/8/6
That Saga II score has gotten me curious. It’ll be interesting to see why there was such a contrast when the review summaries come in.
