I have been thinking about buying Endless Ocean(1) since about Summer 2008 and I have yet to get it and was still thinking about buying it again about last week and still didn't...

It looked interesting but kind of stupid at the same time so I was like "Ok um... No" everytime I was about to buy it. Endless Ocean Blue World looks very fun and more interesting then the 1st one. It also looks to me like the game will improve over the 1st game in a big way. So my Endless Ocean opinion has now gone from "Kind of stupid" to "I want this game" with Blue World!

Also I have some questions(I am sorry if these were answered in the thread but its big so I didn't want to read any of it but the opening post) :

1.Can you die in this game?
2.How many different animals are in this game?
3.Does this game come with Wii Speak for free?(I was looking on Gamestop and Toys R Us and it said E.O.B.W was $30 and E.O.B.W with Wii Speak was also $30 but this is only on those 2 web sites.)

Don't worry, I was kind of the same way at first with the original EO. But it's really a great game once you play it and get a feel for what it's about. And you're right, this sequel seems to improve upon it in every way, basically.

To answer your questions,

1. No. You have oxygen, which (very slowly) depletes over time. Dangerous animals can attack you, at which point you will lose a bit of oxygen. So they can't actually physically harm you, and no, you cannot die. It's rated ages 7+, so it's all pretty mild. I'm not sure what happens when your oxygen runs out, but I'm almost certain the game will automatically return you to the surface.

2. I read somewhere the game contains around 350 different creatures. I'm too lazy right now to look it up, but if you want to be certain, Google around a bit, you'll probably find it, eventually. But I'm pretty sure it was about 350.

3. This is a bit of an iffy one... Some retailers have it listed with Wiispeak, others not, so... I guess at this point it's just not known for sure. Maybe some retailers can choose themselves whether to include it or not.
