Treasures of the Deep

Treasures of the Deep is an action-adventure video game developed by Black Ops Entertainment and published by Namco Hometek for the PlayStation.

In response to UMA's involvement, Black commits a wave of terrorism across the world's oceans, such as bombarding coral reefs with radiation, provoking seismic activity, and downing the Space Shuttle Atlantis to prevent the deployment of a spy satellite.

"[7] Kraig Kujawa of Electronic Gaming Monthly made it his pick for "Sleeper Hit of the Holidays"[9] and called it "an undersea action game that adeptly combines action, exploration and resource management into one, very cool package"[4] while Glenn Rubenstein commented in GameSpot, "Like the movie The Abyss, Treasures sets you in a sprawling area where you never know what will happen next - you could come upon a school of fish, get attacked from behind, then worry that your blood could attract sharks.

"[5] Critics further credited the convincing animation,[4][5][6][8] sound effects,[4][5][6][7][8] and wildlife[4][7][8] with helping to realize the game's strong aquatic atmosphere.

GamePro summed up that "Sharp graphics and animation effectively create a free-roaming 3D ocean environment that's almost more fun to explore than carrying out your mission objectives.
