Seaman

"This Game is so Weird"

I got this game when it wasn’t “officially” out at one of those stands in the mall. It was the full American version and it came with everything you would expect it to come with a microphone and the thing that you plug the microphone into. The guy working at the stand warned me that this was not a game, I laughed and I said, “I know.”

Game play: 8/10 - This game is very weird, and is very boring until the Seaman learn to talk. Until then all you can do is move around rocks, tickle, pick up, and have very limited conversations with your Seaman. The voice recognition is not very good. You have to talk very very clear, or else the seaman will either not know what you are saying, or think that you are saying something else.

Graphics - 7/10 - This game has some ok graphics. The Seaman have sort of a rough texture to them, and their faces don’t are a little blurry. I was very impressed with how the seaman swim like fish.

Sound - 9/10 - This game has practically no sound. While the Seaman aren’t talking you get to listen to the bubbles coming out of the air, exciting. The Seaman do speak very well though, and they have some really funny comments that will make you just want to laugh out loud.

Replay Value - 7/10 - Once you have beaten the game, you probably won’t want to start over. But you can still check on your Seaman once they are all grown up. If you do decide to start another game, I would recommend you doing things different, maybe raise one mad at you, that might be fun.

Overall - 9/10 - This game is a fun game. If you are looking for a game where you don't have to do much, but you can still have fun, then this game is for. If you like blowing heads off, and you don't have patience, then don’t buy this game.
