Finalboss: Aquanaut´s Holiday: Hidden Memories Review

There are not many games that can be described as "of diving." Indeed, only recently resolved some companies invest in specific niche, leaving aside the part of "fight" usually connected to the concept. But you can captivate the player with a title which he does not suffer threats? There are people who do not even consider this as a "game" properly, but leaving aside the controversy, the answer is very simple: you can do. Recently, Endless Ocean for Wii, showed that it is not necessary to submit blood and destruction on the seabed so that the player remains entertaining. But before that in 1995 more accurately, the PSOne received its first round of titles and then the guy premiered a representative of the genre, called Aquanaut's Holiday, which has already proven this argument. Pity that those who enjoyed the title and waited for more than Artdink had to wait long for another 14 years here. Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories (Kakusareta Kiroku in Japan) came to the PlayStation 3 in Japan and parts of Asia and hopes, though very distant , it was worth.

I'm considering buying it, but I don't think I can be bothered grinding through all the puzzles without some sort of a guide. All those "Simon Says" type puzzles would just get on my nerves, I fear. However, I love this sort of "ecosystem sim" (and, yes, people who like/hate this game would probably feel the same about Afrika/Hakuna Matata, which I'm *really* enjoying -- it's surprisingly deep).

PlayStationLifeStyle.net: Aquanaut's Holiday Review [PS3 IMPORT]

The ocean covers roughly 3/4 of the planet. When I think of the ocean, I think of beauty, unimaginable size and depth. Aquanaut's Holiday does an amazing job, at bringing the beauty, and unimaginable size and depth to your PlayStation 3 and HDTV.

Being someone who has always been intrigued by the ocean and all it's wonders, this game had me interested at the first glimpse. For any of you who have watched Blue Planet, or any educational program on the ocean and enjoyed it, you will be absolutely delighted with this game.

So you like my photography skills?

I took that photo using the in-game screenshot feature.

I really enjoyed this game.

TOO PAWNED5628d ago

Will sony import it in west?

Phoenix83875628d ago

SCEA nor SCEE have announced anything as of yet and in all honesty they likely won't. Importing the Asian version is the only way to go for now.

Phoenix83875628d ago

Thank you Sev... AH looked interesting but I never really did much research into it. I'm glad you picked it up and have given it such a great review. Knowing that it has English support is wonderful, so I think I'm going to order it from PlayAsia right now.

1UP: Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories Import Preview

A real story's nice, but Aquanaut's Holiday is also a better game for its staggered progression. The atoll's dotted with sonobuoys: oval-shaped capsules left behind by Bill that send out navigation signals. Unfortunately, they've all run out of power, so it's up to you to replace their batteries when you see them near the surface -- doing so opens up new navigable sections of the atoll. And since you can only carry a few batteries at a time, you'll have to go back to the island base and buy more. So, not only do you have a clearly defined point to your exploration, but most of it's kept from you at the start, making your progression and discoveries more rewarding (especially when the camera transitions to a sweep of the area with an epiphanic bagpipe tune accompanying it).
