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.
Contents
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.
