I've had this game on reserve at Amazon.com for months now. It's just...

The concept is awesome. It's licensed by National Geographic and will likely mix a little bit of prehistoric edutainment with prehistoric sea monster carnage! Nothings cooler than a icthyosaurs and plesiosaurs and all sorts of giant underwater creatures duking it out! From prehistoric reptiles, corcodiles, turtles, and sharks to those extinct marine reptiles OMG DID I SEE A ZUEGLODON? BUT THEY DIDN'T EXIST BACK THEN!!! Ah no... it isn't...

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

The game looks terrible, what is it supposed to be an action game? I seen them use a lame ramming move that made you go through the enemy and the health drain. Now if it was like Endless Blue where you explored, that could be really cool.

I really, really, really really, really, really really, really, hope that this is the Wii's version of Lair.

You mean poor controls, poor sales, lazy design, and poor reception? Actually I think it will be!

Hey, it actually looks pretty decent. I'll get this game if it gets at least a 7.0 average across the board.

This kind of game has potential (the swimming through water game), but I don't think this will come close to it.

How many Terranigma Freaks do you know? I'm surprised to see you here as well.

Oh and.... giggity giggity, she said seaman!

Those creatures are all very real. I think you can see them chomp at each other with their teeth. Think of it as a 3D version of E.V.O's first stage. If it's anything close to EVO, it's instant buy for me. I love the detailed heads on these creatures.

The concept is awesome? You're an effing dinosaur swimming around mindlessly, occasionally bumping in to this, which appear to die for no reason. Maybe you have toxic skin that lets you travel through your adversaries...it's kind of like the "Kryptonite Fog" that Lex Luthor unleashed on Metropolis in Superman 64.

I like the concept, but I don't know that it will be done well.  Can we convince Rockstar to do one?  I want to drive my ichthyosaur's beak like snout into the eye of a Plesiosaurus.

Forget Icthyosaur... check this out Liopleurodon. Yes, the article is accurate despite being from wikipedia, I looked at it myself.
