Any underwater or space exploration console games?

Does anyone know of any underwater or space exploration games for consoles? I'm hoping to get hold of Aquanaut's Holiday for PS1, but I imagine that with the more powerful PS2 or Xbox, or even with the Xbox 360 (I've got no PS3) the simulation of the oceans or of deep space could be really impressive.Any underwater or space exploration console games?
There is a great one coming out for the Wii called (I think) endless ocean which does look like video game opium!! I must say I'm looking forward to it .. for some reason :)



All that swiming around with a trace like Nin sound track over the top of it ..... blissAny underwater or space exploration console games?

If you got an at least medicore PC,take a look at Aquanox II (I think it was the title).I only played it a bit but it seemed nice.I can remember a ood one on console.
Mass Effect will be big in space exploration.
I just now checked out endless ocean here on gamespot. It looks pretty great! Although I don't have a Wii. So its something I won't have to fret about buying unless it comes out on a different system.

Coll, thanks for that, didn't expect a big response. I won't be getting a Wii anytime soon - too much jumping around for me - so hopefully they will bring that PS3 one out for the 360...
I believe that PS3 one is being done by the afrika devs which are sony 1st party so if you want underwater exploration, you may need a new console.
The PS3 game is named Aqua Vita. It is being developed by Artdink, who last I heard was independent, though it is being published in the US by SCEA who also published two of Artdink's older games, Carnage Heart and Tail of the Sun.
definitely mass effect for space exploration fun.
There were two underwater exploration games (prequels to the upcoming Endless Ocean on Wii) on the PS2:

Everblue and Everblue 2

After about 2 hours with that game, it's enough to make me swear off anything that Artdink ever does again.
Aqua for PS3 looks very nice. Wonder what it's all about?...

Oh I dunno, I was just looking at Everblue 2 (images, videos, gamespot review, a reader review and critic reviews) and I like the look of it. Ok some people don't like it but then you have to wonder if those reviewers are shoot-em-up freaks :P
X3: Reunion if your computer can run it. Technically it was going to come out for Xbox, but they cut that.

It sounds similar to Carnage Heart in that the setup is unique and the pacing is slow. In Carnage Heart one spends hours building a programming mechs and a couple minutes seeing if all of your hard work pays off in which your team of three robots/planes either takes apart the enemy or if a programming error(s) results in stupid behaviour that gets them killed. However,Tail is sufficiently different that I won't risk 30 bucks on it, though if it ever pops up as a six dollar PSN download, I am there.
