    It's a novel idea......It's good idea really ,but i can't get over the slowness and the repetiveness of this game.

    It was awesome but it would be more fun if i played it by myself not with my grade six class!

    I Love this game it's a confusing but rewarding game I call the weird squid thing Nidas! I like this game but is very freaky, the fish are weird!!!

    It's as if I made friends with a "fictional" character. Too bad the Dreamcast's prime is over, cause I'd love to see more Seaman titles come out for it.

    Great game but hard to stick with it every day.

    This game is great. Despite the fact that your parents will probably think that you have mental issues the first few times they hear you talking, there is nothing more amusing than hearing a polygonal fish call you a moron.

    This is the weirdest game ever. The game is good but the problems are that the game lacks a lot and is boring at a lot of parts as well as being SO weird!

    Seaman required you to check in daily, maybe even twice daily. Kinda like taking care of a cat. I wise-ass ungrateful cat that speaks perfect english but only understands you sometimes...

    Surprisingly great experience and cool story...

    A truly new gameplaying experience that is worth checking out.

    If one game could attract the masses, then the satisfaction and stimulation gathered from communicating is the shining example. Gamestyle expectantly awaits the next release from Yoot Saito and his Vivarium team.

    It's the most unorthodox, weirdest and freakiest gaming experience you'll ever have.
