Hey kids, Parents won't let you have a REAL pet. Then buy a virtual pet. IT'S SEAMAN!
Raise him from a egg and in a month he'll be your next best friend.
Feed him, take care of him and teach him words and he'll be talking back in no time flat.
He'll play games with you and you can teach him tricks. Take him home and show your mom and dad that you can take care of your own Seaman.
Kid: "Mom, Seaman followed me home, can I keep him?"
Mom: "AAAHHHH!!!! What the heck is that!!! A fish with a humans face??!!!!"
Seaman: "Look a human with a fishes face, and smells like one too."
Yes kids, buy now and get a free microphone!!! Get your Seaman today!!!
Okay you get the idea, Seaman is basically a more advanced Tomagotchi or Giga Pet.
You start with and egg, and in time it will hatch into baby seaman (looks like tadpoles) and time grow into little seaman. This game takes a lot of patience and determination to play.
You have to put the game in and check up on your Seaman at least twice a day.
You'll have to keep his tank air supply and heating regulated or you may not have a Seaman the next time you look. (Kid: "Mommy, why is Seaman floating at the top? Is he sleeping?")
Once your Seaman has a face, you have to talk to it using the microphone included and teach him to use words. (this takes a lot of time.) Once he is a full grown fish, you can communicate with him. Ask him a question and he'll answer back. The only time the answer doesn't make sense is if you use a word he doesn't recognize. (teach him as much as you can, you don't want a stupid Seaman) He'll also get mad at you if you forget to heat the tank or don't check up on him in a long time. While the idea of Seaman sounds like fun it really is a choir to play for the longest time. If you have trouble remembering to feed the dog, your Seaman is doomed. (or maybe he'll eat one of his brothers........yes this can happen.)
The graphics in Seaman are nothing special. Fish tank, sand, a few rocks, and a maybe a squid.
and sound is blah too. No music, just Seaman's voice and bubble noises.

Overall Seaman is can be fun and extremely funny when talking with the Seaman. But if you don't have the patience of several months to raise your Seaman, you'll get bored really quick and your Seaman well never make to adulthood. OVERALL: 7
