I Am Fish

SCORE: 67

I did not know much about I Am Fish before I played it. Peter showed me the free video games on Xbox Game Pass and this one looked interesting. I Am Fish is in essence an entire video game based off of the Finding Nemo section where the fish are leaving the store and trying to get to the ocean. We spend most of our time in I Am Fish inside some object with water working our way through the human world. There are portions of I Am Fish where we are actually in the water. I liked the water parts way more because I Am Fish controls better in those instances.

We can pick from two different control schemes in I Am Fish. One is considered harder to use than the other one. I learned quickly to stick with the easier control scheme. After you complete I Am Fish on the normal difficulty you can play it in a harder difficulty if you so desire. I Am Fish lets players skip to the next checkpoint if they are stuck. This is cool and very helpful getting by some annoying portions of the game. This does not work in the last section of the levels in this game though.

The music in I Am Fish is fun. We can jam to the music while rolling around the ball in I Am Fish. Please note we do roll around in other objects as well like buckets and bottles. The goal in I Am Fish is to get to the water. What stinks is we make it to the ocean and then get pulled back in. Your transportation device can shatter and break. The fish can only survive for so long outside of the water. If you can get to some body of water then you are okay.

It is very aggravating trying to control the different transportation devices in I Am Fish. Super Monkey Ball controls way better than I Am Fish. On top of that I could not always tell where to go. If there was a continuation object floating I knew where to go. At times I could not see one so it was confusing as to where to go. There is plenty of trash in the water in I Am Fish. The voice acting was pretty neat in I Am Fish. There are multiple paths the player can take in certain areas. Landing on mattresses and flowers from a fall kept the ball from breaking.

I Am Fish has some cool ideas within it. The idea for a game is pretty cool. Getting to skip to the next checkpoint is very handy for a digital downloadable video game. The controls are what really got me in I Am Fish. I struggled level after level with them. Collecting bread is neat. Graphically I Am Fish looks ok.
