out of 10	click here for ratings guide
7.5	Presentation Vastly improved menuing system and cataloguing turns what was once a chore into something integral to the gameplay.
8.0	Graphics Although not a significant step up from the original, this remains one of the most visually impressive games on the Wii - when it's underwater, at least. The above ground sections are lamentable.
4.0	Sound Sparse sound effects and a monumentally annoying selection of songs will soon grate on the ears.
8.0	Gameplay Absorbing explorational elements still provide the biggest draw, but the addition of a more structured quest-based adventure provides an easier route into the game.
9.0	Lasting Appeal Around eight hours of story quest allied to online play and a near endless amount of exploration, you're looking at weeks rather than days.
8.0 Impressive	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

Just wait for the rest of the "hardcore" publications either score it down or dont review it at all.

I was always a little interested in the first game, but as of right now i doubt ill have enough leisure time to really get into this game.

That says 8.0, not 8.8...

4.0 sound? Still 8 is a good mark!

Lol, 4.0 for sound.... seems like cherry picking a poor score to me.... I often played Endless Ocean without any of the music playing, it's relaxing.

For sound Endless Ocean needs a few bubble sounds and the odd underwater mammal song, then on top of that some realxing songs if you want (perhaps they messed this up but I highly doubt it)

Please repost this thread with a different score in the title. I understand that it was a mistake, but as it is the title is misleading.
