See Topic. Do you agree?

No,but its definitely not easy. I beat it a long time ago,after many many hours fighting that last alien dude.

Holy *&%@ Check this out!

This game was a pain in my booty!  I couldn't even beat it with the code...that big skeleton head always got me!  And because of that, I gave up on it a long time ago. 

yeah games were much harder back in the day it seems

 

i never remembered ecco the dolphin was so....TEDIOUS..........those *** tentacle things that grab you AAAHHHHH

I loved the ecco series.  Ecco 2 was easier but more in depth than this one.  Though The dreamcast game is by far the hardest.  It stays true to the orignials, but with huge 3D worlds.

BC Game Wish List:
Phantasy Star Online, Unreal Championship, Gun Valkery,
UPDATE THE HALO 2 EMULATOR!

I concur to the fullest. Never have I wanted to throw my controller at my TV so fast into a game than this one. I remember it being fun on Sega, but I guess I was a kid then, you know, before achievments, before you had a care in the world about anything in this game but just swimming in that first level doing flips. I can't get past the second level. Isn't one of the achievments like beat the game 3 times without dying..... I'm screwed.

i beat this game when i was about 5. mind you that was thnks to a lucky guess password that took me to the 3rd last level :p all other ecco games i have beaten legit. this game can get me frustrated when you spend hours trying to find something then you die when you're so close. the save feature helps this a lot.

The best thing that could happen to XBLA

I don't know if it's the hardest game ever but it's the hardest one I've played so far

Haha, you've never attempted to get the Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah achievement in Hexic have you? Hexic may have simple gameplay, but it's very difficult to play well. Most people can't even make a single black pearl, let alone 6 and then combine them.

But once you know what you're doing, it's a lot easier

Have you ever played Battletoads for the NES? That's certainly the hardest game I've ever played.

Battletoads was tough but it has nothing on SILVER SURFER for the NES. That game was ridiculous cheap and was an absolute disaster.

This game made me despise Silver Surfer as one hit from anything would kill the poor ***.

in my opinion the only thing hard about this game is having the drive to go through it twice

That's some slippery stuff you have thar sir.

     I have been ashamed for years about my defeat at the hands of that stupid alien head!  I thought I must be the only person on the planet who couldn't beat a family friendly game about a little lost dolphin and his sea friends. 

     As a child, I saved up and paid for a used sega cd.  Ecco the Dolphin was one of the games the seller threw in.  I wasn't interested in it, but after I broke my arm I could only play with my oversized arcade controller.  The way my hand was cast, I couldnt reach any buttons, so I learned to play with my bare feet.  My favorite sega games were completely impossible this way.  I pretty much went through my entire library looking for something I could actually do well without my thumbs. 

     The first level of Ecco seemed easy enough, so that's what I played.  By the time I got my cast removed, I was well into it, and felt the need to see that little chicken of the sea back to his family.  On and on I played.  I felt like I was on a quest.  Like that little nerd from the never ending story.  Finally, I entered the final battle. 

     I was completely owned. 

     I tried again. 

     And I was completely owned. 

     Once I thought I was close, we had been fighting for so long, victory had to be mere seconds away....owned. 

     I never played it again.  This game is my childhood nemesis.  Some games I was able to finish in my later teens on the original systems.  When I moved out into the world on my own, a lot of these were sold to pay rent.  Some of them, I have since beat as ROMs on downloaded emulators.  But Ecco remains.  The black stain on my gamers soul.  I see that goofy alien head in my dreams.  Laughing at me before he sucks me into his poorly animated jaw.

When I was a kid it was more of a nuisance beause u didn't have the save feature. When u died u pretty much have to restart the level... Now as I play its a little easier the mazes can be annoying if you have a short intention span......

"Damn, you were so close to getting that achievement.." Call me the Achievement Killer.. Mujestu >=)

The levels from Dark Water and beyond are insanly difficult...

 

but on X-box live you have that option to save whenever you want...greatly reduces the difficulty of it....
