Have you played the first Wii game? The review doesn't say. I get the impression you haven't, but for people who have, I think you should say that you haven't, otherwise we're reading along thinking 'this sounds basically the same as the first game' - but without the qualifying statement.

I live on the Pacific Coast, bloomer, a quarter-mile or less from the ocean and within easy access of an underwater aquarium or two (which I've visited recently). My complaint was that the animals and sea life and underwater landscape all could have benefited from more textural detail and the animals could have done with the same.

Yeah, I mean... say in the review that you haven't played the first game. My opinion is that would be just one line which suddenly adds a lot of value to the review.

I hope that I didn't come across as defensive. I'm actually considering your feedback and right now I'm leaning toward adding just such a line. Thanks for the feedback. It was most welcome, as always.

Alright, slight updates have been made to the review. The review will surely be ten times better now. :-D

I find this review a little bit hard to take seriously when you throw in lines like "I named my character Sassypants" or "my dolphin, mr. Frecklesworth." In another review, such things would probably be funny. Here, though, while you're trying to explain the magical beauty of the game, it feels out of place.

Jason does those things because he is a strange individual.
