Ecco the Dolphin - Sega Dreamcast

The game, which is based in the future, follows your character, a young dolphin called Ecco, battling it out against a mysterious enemy known only as the Foe. Your task is to restore the one thing that might just save Earth from doom, the guardian, a defence mechanism that was broken on an earlier raid by the Foe. With the underwater world that you live in represented with such style and panache, this game pushes the Dreamcast to the limit, creating a graphical world far superior to that of Soul Calibur. Couple this with numerous puzzles that any Tomb Raider game would be proud of, and you end up with a well-balanced experience that gives you not only gives you a feeling of tranquillity but also that there is no rush to this game. --Stuart Miles
