    Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (エコー ザ ドルフィン ディフェンダー オブ ザ フューチャー) is an entry in the Ecco the Dolphin series of games, developed by Appaloosa Interactive and published by Sega for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000.


    Gameplay

    The game was designed to be a faithful reproduction of the Ecco formula established in the 16-bit era consoles although using full 3-dimensional graphics. The game is split into four 'worlds' which are Isle of Tranquility, Man’s Nightmare, Dolphin's Nightmare and Domain of the Enemy. Each of these worlds has multiple smaller levels containing unique maps, puzzles and enemies which have to be completed to advance the story and move to the next timeline. There are two hidden levels that recapture the 2 dimension gameplay style of the previous game and one bonus soccer style game.

    History

    The game was intended to re-invent the series which was left on the Sega Mega Drive, having few ties to the original games as a result. It is also the only Ecco game to be presented in 3D, although a sequel, Ecco the Dolphin 2: Sentinels of the Universe was once planned.

    After the Dreamcast's demise, the game was brought the game to the PlayStation 2 in 2002. The differences between the two versions are minimal.
