  Pros

  Decent animation for the fish. Various options. Smooth panning.

  Cons

  Drab low contrast background colors, plenty of fish, but mediocre selection to choose from (no crustaceans, mollusks or anemones.) Only two background option and one is just dark and depressing. The ocean floor is blurry and effectively 2D.

  Summary

  This had potential, but looks like it was a work in progress. Some of the creatures look pretty cool, like the whale (when it's not half immersed in the ocean floor) and shark and what-not, but the camera dynamic is just sorely wanting. It's either way too far out or OCD in. Like I said in my "cons" The scenery is blurry and and uninteresting. You have an option for bubbles, and all you get is an occasional white circle. This could have been very cool If it had had some options for rock formations or cliff sides. Where are the lion fish, crabs, shrimp, seahorses, Moray eels, urchins? It would have been sweet to see a blue whale inhaling a school of krill. Oh and lastly, it's just not worth $25. I seriously wish I had just gotten dream aquarium. I have only used the trial version, but even then it was pretty wicked. <doh> <doh> <doh>!
