Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you're into pay-for-use screensavers, it's hard to imagine that there's a better looking one around than Dream Aquarium. Limited to only two fish species in the trial version, the full version sports 18 species for all you ichthymaniacs out there. However, there are no other handicaps, and users can take advantage of the well-drawn and well-animated options for everything from oxygen bubbles to tank background to the camera and animation speed.
There's some neat additional controls, as well: Users can feed the fish, and they can change the animation from 3D-renderings to wireframe. Our most recent XP tests didn't see the flickering we noticed in past past evaluations, though such flickering was noted during tests on Vista machines, indicating that there may be a coding issue and not a graphics card concern. Nevertheless, this is still a screensaver that's sure to relax and entertain.
