At this very moment I am suffering from a terrible headache. I usually endure this type of pain when I am stressed out at work or when I encounter a stress enducing videogame. Yep, you guessed it, playing this game has steered me straight to my medicine cabinet. Let me begin by warning fun oriented gamers to avoid this nerve grating game at all cost. It is a hideously executed game filled with arduous task after task after task. I feel I'm being punished each time I play this game. With Ecco, the only thing that matters is the stunningly gorgeous environments. Of course, this is inadequate. Where's the fun of completing a long task or the reward of enduring a difficult challenge? If you want to punish a child for a misdeed, force him to play this awful game. For those of you brave enough to withstand Ecco, I advise you to buy a hint book, otherwise DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ONE.
