Endless Ocean surfaces

New screens of
Endless Ocean reveal some non-submerged activities, like
getting to know your guide and
hosting some ambassadors from the Penguin Empire. And where there are penguins, you can also expect
brutally inhospitable water: Apparently the
Forever Blue of the game's Japanese title refers not only to the pretty ocean water, but to the frozen skin of the insane diver whose death wish you carry out in the game.
To round out the experience, there's some kind of competitive
dolphin jumping ...
thing that records the length of the jump and notes any tricks. This is probably designed around videotaping the best dolphin tricks possible-- oh, or you inexplicably get control of a dolphin during the game, like
most divers do.
