In all honesty, I think this is superior to the first one. So everybody should give it a try. I really think the gaming industry needs more original games. I still love my rail shooters and RPGs, but something different is always fun to me.

Picked up my copy Monday. Been loving it so far. Looks great. Some very nice and smart additions to the game. Not to sure about the shark shooting yet but everything else is a big improvement on the original which I already loved dearly.

Pots555 - let me know if you want to do a dive sometime

Gamestop still hasn't gotten the shipment after cancelling my amazon order so I could get it sooner and preordering.

I agree, it is much better than the original. I haven't gotten much play time in ( My mom bought Sega All Star Racing, and she is hogging my Wii) but I love what I've played so far

So I've heard, so I've heard....................still want to experience this amazement myself.

I have now discovered something big...But the batteries gave up on me. Will have to wait for them to recharge...will have to wait...NOOOOOOOOOO!

If anybody played it, I have a question. HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SALVAGE BAG BIGGER? I have found cool stuff, but the don't fit in the bag I have. What do I do? Thanks in advance!

You're further than I am but I'm pretty certain in time you'll either be able to buy one from Nancy or will be given a bigger bag.  And then an even bigger one later.

Thanks buddy.  I surely hope so.

About how many hours of exploration is there? What is the online mode like?

For $30 this sounds like I'd really like it. Maybe I'll buy the original.

I reckon there's something like 65 hours in the game altogether. I think TWRoO has gone on longer than me. I've done 36 hours of gameplay so far with around 17 hours of diving time, several hours at the acquarium, hours training the dolphins and various other bits and bobs. There's a helluva lot to do.
