Publisher: Sega
Released: 1992
Ecco the Dolphin is an action-adventure game that was later released on the Sega CD in 1993.
+ The need to breathe oxygen by swimming out of the water adds a cool survival element that deepens the gameplay.+ Graphically, the game is top-notch with amazing water / weather effects and smooth animation.
- While the password system is helpful, the action is brutally difficult and often rage-inducing in its unfair enemy placement.
- The clues are often too cryptic and you'll be wandering aimlessly unless you check the map every two seconds.
- Missions repeat the same objectives ad nauseum and the constant backtracking quickly grows tiresome.
- Hard to recommend this version over the superior Sega CD port that features extra levels and improved music.
- The controls are sloppy (especially when attempting to attack) and the collision detection is inconsistent.
