Seaman 2 Revealed for PS2
Sega reveals the PS2 sequel to one of the most bizarre games ever.

At a press event in Tokyo this afternoon, Sega revealed the sequel to Seaman, the bizarre Dreamcast game in which you looked after and communicated with a virtual half man, half fish pet.
The premise in Seaman 2 remains largely the same -- you're still supposed to interact with a virtual pet -- except that this time around your creature is basically a mini neanderthal man. As the story goes, a species of these prehistoric mini-men were found to have lived in Peking China. A company in Moscow took their bones and created a factory to clone them and mass produce them as pets. 3,000 of them have been created so far. You're one of the lucky first to have one of them.
The game was introduced in the form of an infomercial from the Russian company selling these men. A salesmen pitches you on buying one of these pets and shows how it could enrich your life.
As with the original, Seaman 2 will allow you to speak with your pet, so a new controller with a built-in microphone will be available alongside its release. Seaman 2 hits Japan next year, but no U.S. release has been announced yet.
