Overview

Sea treasure gameDeep

Namco has made their mark on the PSX by virtue of hot arcade-style titles. Treasures of the Deep is a drastic departure from anything you have seen from Namco in the past. Come to think of it, Treasures is a drastic departure from just about anything you have seen on the PSX, regardless of the publisher or developer.

SeaTreasure

The story has you playing as a retired Navy Seal that can't seem to stay out of the water. It has been rumored that the sea holds vast wealth. Jack (that's you) decides that since the water is his life, he will start out on a contract job gathering treasure underwater until he saves enough money to purchase his own ships and collect the riches for himself. It has been rumored that the waters are infested with underwater pirates as well as plenty of dangerous sea creatures. It is up to you to find your objective and make it out alive.

Gameplay

Treasures of the Deep is a truly original game that combines exploration, fighting, skill and luck. The game is a mission-based adventure that will have you battling divers, subs, sharks, and giant eels. You have the ability to equip your sub in any way you desire as long as the money holds out and you don't exceed the weight limit. It takes a very delicate balance of weapons and equipment to survive.

The first part of Treasures and your sub is equipped with an overhead map that shows where you have been and where you need to go. Your screen is also graced with a sonar. This shows the position of your objective, the direction you are heading, and any enemies that may be close by. These tools are used to help you find the level objective and make it out to safety.

Of course it would be way too easy if you could just go straight to the objective area and obtain your objective. Some times you are surrounded by hills the keep you from moving in certain directions. These hills usually only have only one pathway out, so you are forced to follow the path. Other levels have you searching through caves, fighting currents, and searching sunken ships. And you will spend a great portion of your time looking for things other than your objective: there are secrets scattered all throughout the levels. It is up to you to search out the wreckage, foliage, and underwater outcroppings to find all of these little goodies.

The second part to the game is the combat. You are constantly getting ambushed by a nasty diver, an enemy sub, and even the wild life. The divers are usually armed with only spear guns which cause little damage. You, on the other hand, are armed however you set yourself up at the beginning of the game. You have a standard semiautomatic weapon that has unlimited ammo. You can also equip yourself with torpedoes, mines, missiles, and sonic charges to name a few. All of this fire power adds up to giving you the ability to inflict some serious damage. One cool thing about the combat is that the people actually bleed. If you shoot a diver, he will be encased in a cloud of blood. Why is this cool? The waters are shark-infested and we all know that sharks love blood. Every time you kill somebody, it will inevitably attract the sharks. This was a great idea on the part of the game designers.

Since the game is mission-based, you will be diving all across the globe. You will be looking for treasures that range from the ancient Incas to stolen Nazi gold. Each of the environments you will encounter ranges from shallow water to deep water. Every decision you make while equipping your sub will have an effect on the mission.

My main complaint with this game is that it got a bit boring after playing for a while. Sure there was plenty to explore, and many different things to see, and secrets were abundant. But it was just a little slow-paced for my tastes. I think that if you prefer the faster, arcade style games, you may experience the same thing. This game would be an ideal PC port because PC gamers tend to be a bit more patient.

Graphics

Treasure

This is where it is at. These graphics will rival some of the top games on the PSX. The sharks looked awesome. The fish looked awesome. Everything looked awesome. I knew that Namco had the polygon thing down with Tekken, but they took it to a whole different level. Also as a side note, the music is gripping and an excellent fit. Great job all the way around.

Bottom Line

If you like exploration with some action thrown in, you should really enjoy this game. It is stuffed full of secrets and hidden goodies that should keep you happy. If you are looking for a fast-paced shooter, you better look somewhere else because this is not it. Sure it does have the shooting element, but it can hardly be considered fast paced. I have one question though: why do the sharks explode after you shoot them?
