Thankfully the game still manages to feel like an Ecco game. You'll still be swimming around solving puzzles, collecting crystals, and pushing around loose rocks. You still need to go up for air every so often (giving the game a sense of urgency you don't normally see in a game of this type). It's still you on a quest to save the rest of your pod from ... aliens? Okay, ignore the ridiculousness of the story; this really is a worthwhile game that translates amazingly well on the Game Gear.

Despite all it's attributes and political correctness, Ecco the Dolphin is not for everyone. Gamers who like lot's of variety and intense action will be disenchanted with Ecco's slow and repetitive gameplay. What's intellectually stimulating to some players will be boring to others. For fans of Ecco, though, he's still the king of the sea.
