Everblue (PS2)

Everblue PS2 is an adventure game with a unique twist. Taking the role of Leonardo, a novice undersea diver, the challenge is to explore and discover the magic and mysteries of the Daedalus Sea and ultimately find the treasure that has haunted your family for generations. Starting on dry land, it isn't long before you'll be donning scuba gear and exploring the sea bed for buried treasure, whch you can then sell to traders in a local town, using the funds to purchase upgrades to your diving gear. This will allow dives to last longer and reach greater depths thereby expanding the area that can be explored and the potential to discover greater treasures amongst coral reefs and sunken ships. Interaction with the inhabitants of the town will also provide specific information about the location of treasure and the opportunity to undertake missions set by them.

The main aim may be to discover buried treasure, but it is sometimes easy to just gaze at the beauty of the ocean and the myriad of marine life which the developers have so faithfully recreated. Everblue PS2 contains a free swim mode where players can dive at their leisure taking in the aquatic surroundings and even taking pictures which can be stored in an in-game album. If the photographs are deemed good enough by the town's resident photographer players will receive special bonuses.
