PS3 Aquanaut's Holiday: Info, Video & Scan

Originally named "AQUA", Artdink has released information on their new PS3 game, now renamed "Aquanaut's Holiday".

Although the concept is based on Artdink's PS1 game of the same name, the game is not just a graphical upgrade remake.

Aquanaut's Holiday is listed as an Adventure game, where the main character goes after a missing oceanographer with the records that the oceanographer left behind.

Player will use their mini-submarine "Dolphin 2", which has a built in AI interface, to explorer the sea adding creatures to the creatures library and solve various puzzles.

Although the game is focused more on story and puzzle solving, you can stray off and wonder around the sea finding creatures to add to your library, or watch their habitats.

Aquanaut's Holiday is being published by Sony Computer Entertainment, scheduled release date is 9/25 for 5,980 yen in Japan.

Did anybody play the original game on PS1?
Even if the game was just based on that, I am wondering how good the PS1 game is, at the time of it's release that is.
