What's even more remarkable is that it works perfectly. Moody, atmospheric, at times haunting, but always strangely relaxing. After suffering from a barrage of scratch, disco and techno crap over the last few weeks this was heaven sent. The sound effects include everything one could wish for in an underwater game. The ever present bubbling sound of your diver breathing in through an oxygen mouthpiece and then exhaling out into the water.
Every collision has that dull sound attached which can only be experienced while underwater.
Apart from the reddish blood mist you soon know when a rather nasty shark or a divers harpoon is attacking you because the now shaking screen is accompanied by the sound of glass cracking under the strain. This certainly raises the alarm. Each direct hit weakens the screen of your sub which, unless evasive action is quickly taken, will eventually shatter, drowning your diver in the process. Occasionally you will wander into a school of dolphins, which can be netted for cash rewards. Their haunting cries can be distinctly heard as you move closer, allowing you time to prepare a trap.
