First Impression: Aquaria
Posted on Friday, February 29th, 2008 at 11:51 am by Jeff HoyThe hand painted artwork of Aquaria is absolutely stunning. The art alone is worth the cost. But Aquaria also is a very good undersea adventure. My first thoughts about it were “wow, this reminds me of Ecco,” meaning, of course, that Sega Genesis classic adventure Ecco the Dolphin. I am still a huge fan of that game. The controls themselves are simple and in that simplicity they are fantastic. Using only the mouse to control a game is something of an underused idea in gaming. Aquaria pulls it off using only mouse gestures and clicks. The game seems to be quite deep and I can’t wait to play it all the way through.
