- The long awaited sequel to my Ecco the Dolphin review! About two years after the first game, a sequel continuing the adventures of the titular time-traveling dolphin was released on Sega Genesis. Ecco II: The Tides of Time featured many improvements from the original game, like graphics, audio, and overall gameplay. It was also my very first video game and inspired a love of dolphins and sci-fi. Join me as I dive into this Sega Classic.
I do not own Ecco the Dolphin... If I did, Ecco III would be out next year... MAKE IT HAPPEN, SEGA!

I love both Ecco games, especially this one. I haven’t played them in years but I’ll watch some videos about them every now and then. The soundtrack and vibe and world is just so sci-fi and still unsettling for me. Great video!
I love all the Ecco games. The intro to this game is really cool
Maybe those two Vortexx, who brought echo to the future, maybe they wanted to prevent the Vortexx future. You could tell that that was a storyline from the original determinator. Where the hero comes back in time, even though he knows that he may not survive. All they did was reverse the terminator, and have the heroes go back in time, but then back to the future.
Great review. The other reviews on youtube were terrible. Thanks for giving this game the great review it deserves. Nice narration too. You have a good voice.
Glad you enjoyed the review! It's a shame Tides of Time isn't covered more on UA-cam.
One of the best games I've played along with the original. Didn't played it back then but a few years ago I got a bunch of Genesis carts very cheap and both games were there. Those are challenging but there's something that pushes you to try it one more time to beat it. The dark sci-fi tone of the game and the music is something that I instantly loved. Very unique. Great review!!!
As a kid I used to wonder what happened to Echo after he used the time machine but now I realize he probably went to that happy future that we spent the middle portion of the gaming. He probably liked that future where all the oceans are connected through tubes of water and dolphins are psychic. Hell I love that future.
Ecco goes back into time to setup the events of the first two games. He meets the Atlantians to warn them about the Vortex, and then leads himself from the past in the Tides of Time
Ya that’s totally possible . Shame we never got a third game.@@joelpeterson4997
HEYeeee it's Janelle Waz!!! And she's reviewing one of my favorite games!
Don't worry: that intro is going nowhere. 😄
Growing up a Nintendo Kid, this was always something I heard tales of. Great review!
Glad you enjoyed the review! All the Genesis Ecco games are available through Steam or in game collections if you want to give them a try.
@@JanelleWaz I might have to do that! Thanks for the tip. Now they just need to add Ecco (And Vectorman) to Smash Bros. haha
@@windgraceproject Heck, I might even get into Smash Bros if Ecco was in it! 😆
@11:40; there is a mistake in that cut scene. The ceiling above the Asterite is supposed to be flat.
6:28 - *Doctor Who*🎶 Oooohweee OOooooooo...
9:53 - From the creators of "Mean Sea-life", we give you "Mean Birds"!
10:03 - 🎶Bird Bird Bird! Bird is the worst!...🎶
10:33 - Asterite: Heh...Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
12:05 - And the Crowd goes wild!
13:53 - "Rocky!" "-Again?"
14:09 - Ah.
15:35 - Also: Rosebud!
17:44 - Ok I'm gonna be that jerk... at timestamp 15:48 you say "You can only collect globes 2 at a time but I do like the way they orbit Ecco when he finds them." Now it sure looks like you have 3 globes. Were you being mission specific?
23:08 - *"Savin' The Day" plays but entirely in Dolphin noises* AIM FOR THE FLATOP!
26:54 - LOL!
30:15 - #BringBackEcco
Great video as always Waz!
Eagles Bay: the original Angry Birds.
Yeah, the game kinda glitched out and I had three globes circling me at one point. I liked the way it looked, so I kept it in, but only two globes will go through the teleport ring at a time.
18:44 Now I've thought about this in the past and my conclusion is that the Vortex drones were double-crossing the Queen and sacrificing themselves to give Ecco the chance to get the final two globes.
My theory is that they may have actually preferred Earth's waters and were aware that the Queen was going to wreck the planet if she wasn't stopped (which we see is exactly what has happened when Ecco travels to the dark Vortex future). It's entirely possible those two Vortex drones were on their own 'time-trip' to ensure that Ecco was successful.
That's an interesting point, and would certainly explain a lot.
That's honestly brilliant...
Considering what happens to the Vortex Queen, that actually does make sense.
Janelle! Language! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great review as always!
Heck, I cut a few out of the final cut! 🤣
Thanks for watching!
Oh, so this game is easier and more approachable? Phew. Y'know what, I'll give this one a shot!
Oh, it is. It's still challenging, but it's a lot more doable than the first game.
@@JanelleWaz hey, if it's less cheap with the bogus placement of the bogus enemies, then that's already a plus for me. Heck, the fact you don't have to manually put in the password every time you die is already great!
@@Mike14264 If it helps, you don't have to put the password in the first game every time (that game is already tough enough as it is). The first game admittedly has a better storyline, but the last two levels are stupidly hard.
Never played this, but heard about the sky sections being absolute nightmare fuel...
The first set of skyway sections I like, but I don't like the later (ie: Vortex Future) ones.
lmao yeah okay, that shia labeouf got me
Yes. Touch all the globes. 🔔🔔😏
Gah!! Little warning when you show a spider on screen. Geez
But there was!
Avgn really hated this game.(James Rolfe)
Well, first off, he actually looked at the first game, not this one, which has quite a bunch more issues that this one did fix. Second, sometimes James exaggerates his anger and hatred for games when he's performing as the Nerd.
In his words, the Nerd is a loser that gets ticked off easily and over the tiniest flaws that could also be a result of him playing the game wrong (Lester the Unlikely is the most notable example to me), and James doesn't necessarily share the same opinions as the character. For instance, James actually does kinda like Friday the 13th for the NES! Crazy, right? I dunno about his actual opinion on the first Ecco the Dolphin tho, so take this with a grain of salt or two.
