Does anyone know if they put back the 'money cheat'? It was highly requested during the Beta testing.


I hope they did, otherwise it will be impossible to finish campaighns: :( :

Since the money cheat its not in the demo i think that it is over in the game with MM2. I found the campaigns in the beta very difficult to complete without raising my start money.

Were there any animals in the beta that stood out to you as really good, or maybe needed a little work, animation, or otherwise-wise (other than the skins)?

I really liked the rays and belugas, very natural.
Everything that was in the beta will be fantastic with the bugs gone.
Its hard to say what 'could' be better....I am thankful BF do what they do.

The whale shark you got is supposed to grow bigger after adoption, but didn't happen in the beta.

I was wondering to orcas, dolphins,etc. come up to the surface and the water and use thier blowholes? It seemed that in the demo there weren't a lot of behaivors.

I didn't get beta, so I'm guessing that there was a money cheat.  Was it similar to the one in the origional game?

Meh, I had fun testing the Beta. The bugs on that thing were outragious. One of them actually scared me out of my skin. :D

one of the funniest things was when the blue marlin blew up to extravogant sizes (like half the map) or somehow magically floated over to other tanks.  then when you put them back in there tank they complained about the biome...  i always avoided the marlins in beta and hope they will be more enjoyable.

so are we allowed to post pics of bugs?

[modnotice=RedNotDead]  sorry but no, pictures of the beta are not allowed[/modnotice]

I hope they fix the animals sizes, because the whale shark should be bigger then the Orca. In the beta, they seemed to be the same size.

I didn't play the trial but in the beta Rockhopper Penguins where coastal. Goblin sharks are funky looking, they're very unique. I loved the Belguas, they always spyhopped and hid under the kelp, very cute!

I never knew there was a "money cheat"!

I never had a lot of the problems while testing it, that other people had.

I noticed that the Orca skin and model seems to be alot more detailed than those very first screenshots we saw in... June. :elvis:


They haven't changed anything for that matter, see an animal has 3 models, 1 when you go very close to it, it will show the 1st detailed  model, if you move to a certain destance or zoom out it will show the 2nd and 3rd! You can try that with the mm2 demo or with Zt2 and its Xps!

Well, I was wondering if in the demo the MM gift cart was different, because the gift cart is pirate themed, but in some of the screenshots, the gift cart was a turtle... so was it that way in the demo, or did they fool us? : :P :

in the demo the gift cart was pirate themed. im not sure if i prefer the pirate theme or the turtle. but i guess i prefer the pirate theme because there isnt that much stuff in it.

Yes it has been fixed, I played to win the blue whale hall yesterday and I never had them teleport, I did however still have the black tip reef shark have babies outside the tank 2 times.

The only teleporting trouble I have had, was once when a sea lion teleported out of the show tank in the middle of the show, and once I had a manatee teleport out side of its tank... Besides that nothing else...

But that happens in AA anyway, if an animal is close to the fence or a building, so I don't think it's strictly a MM2 bug.
