I don't know, I chased a little shark once while scuba diving and wasn't in any danger (that I knew of at least), of course I've done some silly stuff while diving. 

The silliest/most dangerous was one dive off the continental shelf in the Cayman Islands where you come out of this coral cave and there's about a 5000 foot drop off.  I looked down, started chasing a fish, then looked at my depth gauge that told me I was at about 100 feet where the lowest I was supposed to go was 60.  >_>

I think that tradtional gamer magazines should not be rating casual type games. No. 1 the people who buy them don't read the gamer magazines. No 2 they just don't know how to. They are used to rating games that are either online or single player.... there is a major disconnect. I believe this is the reason why SSBM saw weaker reviews than it should have...

my 2 cents....

ZACK AND WIKI:

Quest for Barbaros' Treasure.

Sometimes there are these games. One of a kind. Unique.

Games that don't appeal to a mass-audience. Games that; don't quite have what the people want.

Games that turn out great but not in revenue.

Games that deserve SO much more...

Everyone, and i mean EVERYONE! Who has played this game. Young or Old, Casual or Hardcore

Loves this game!...

It's kiddy art-style and box-art don't do this game justice!...

Capcom's promotion (or the missing of it) don't do it either...

But what the FREAKIN' Hell!

BUY THIS GAME!

You REALLY want to, even if you don't know it yet!

This game is great, exploring the reefs and the the bottom of the ocean, also turning around to see big whales or sharks behind you is always great. The graphics are not the best for a wii game but the game is fun. I also think you can download your own songs into the game aswell. EGM can go Fuck themselves. Plus the game is half the price of a normal wii game.

Even if they don't like it, they should at least give it the courtesy of a review. I have no interest in it, but it has been getting decent reviews.

I think Penny arcade does a great job of describing the game

There's really no trick: Endless Ocean is a game about swimming forever. It's not a game for our people, and it need not be plugged into the apparatus. You swim and swim and swim. Sometimes you pet penguins on the deck, or talk to a hydrophobe that you know. You can even dive cooperatively online, which is, like, Finally.

If you come in as a traditional gamer, with the traditional gamer mindset, the game will most likely be incoherent. We have expectations about "games" when we play them, mostly that they will be "games": a machine of interlocking systems and objectives. If you want to get much enjoyment out of Endless Ocean, you'll want to bring objectives with you as there aren't many down there. You won't find the convenient handholds that we use to orient ourselves in simulation. If you need a chilling context in which to swim, though, that is something we can provide.

While it comes up lacking in the classical assessment, it does embody other peculiar virtues: namely, the ability to put you into a Goddamned trance. Held upright only by the chair, I felt strangely warm as some force operated on my body, transforming the living parts into gel. I looked over to Gabriel, largely to determine if I still had neck bones. Draped over the chair like a coat, his leaden jowls hung open as his wrist offered up the bare minimum of game interaction. The rhythm of the scuba gear itself is sufficiently hypnotic, but they offer up musical selections in parallel: there is a warbling sea witch in this game whose voice can drown men. When we dive, I believe we dive in search of her.

I don't actually relax when I'm playing videogames. I don't find it relaxing. There's typically a lot riding on my unfocused attention: as many as thirty-two other people are relying on me to perform my duties in an utterly heroic fashion. Even in a Match-3 casual title I'm trying to see into the future, generating the preconditions of future success. The idea of a genuinely soothing game gestures at a wider medium than the one I typically focus on.

With wii games, I think a lot of reviewers are stuggling. Maybe it's best to be honest about that, point out the game has none of the features you'd normally judge, and leave it to readers to think about if such a game would appeal to them.

Better than just giving it a 2.0

 And if they can't be bothered to even try to review games like this, they never will.

Just another medium that's determined to help itself along the path to irrelevance, I guess.
