Customer Reviews of Allume Aquazone Seven Seas Deluxe Win/Mac
Fish Tale Aquazone is good, but I've found that Serene Scene is a better product. Aquazone is not as realistic as Serene Scene and that is what I was looking for. The realism of fish in an aquarium. If I could go back I would buy Serene Scene instead.
AQUAZONE- Aquariums with no fuss
Excellent program with many features like owning a real aquarium.The only catch is going to the website to get additional fish, etc....I still want a trigger fish
Good, but Marine Aquarium is MUCH better.
This is not a bad screen saver but if you're looking for a really authentic fish experience, there are better alternatives. The fish, particularly the smaller ones, don't render very well when they're perpendicular to the viewer (that is, when they're swimming towards or away from you). I've even seen them completely disappear. It's very apparent that the fish are basic models with simple photographic skins mapped to them; compared to the much more detailed fish in the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium, the shapes and motion of the fish are downright primitive. Although this is an OS X screen saver (NOTE: there's an Intel updater available for download), it doesn't follow OS X screen saver rules. To change the settings you have to launch a separate application rather than go through the OPTIONS button in the screen saver preferences. One interesting feature is the ability to follow the motion of a single fish; unfortunately I was unable to figure out how to STOP following the motion of a single fish. The only way I could get out of it was to change the tank configuration. Performance is mediocre at best; while I can easily get a dozen fish comfortably and smoothly swimming around with SereneScreen's Marine Aquarium (which has more complex structures and better detail) on my dual 2GHz G5 (with 4GB RAM and a 512MB video card), after six or seven fish I start to see jumping frames in AquaZone. Additionally, the fish don't always behave realistically; tetras, for example, school almost all the time, while in AquaZone they often behave like pretty much any fish, randomly swimming wherever it can go. Another gripe: The program limits your ability to customize the tank. While I understand the physiological requirement to not mix fresh and saltwater (or shallow and deep water) fish, this isn't a physical world. If I want my coelacanth to swim next to my neon tetra, or if I want my blacktip shark to have at a school of dwarf gourami, the program shouldn't stop me -- yet it does.

>I know that's a lot of negative so here's some positive: There are lots of fish and tank options, including some designed for wide-screen machines which are pretty interesting. The assortment of fish is very interesting, ranging from common freshwater favorites (goldfish, etc) to sea turtles, sharks and an assortment of jellyfish. (MISSING: Starfish, shrimps, crabs, and other crustaceans.) I also like the ability to add more fish and aquarium enhancements (toys, etc) to the show, although I think it's kind of greedy that you have to pay for them. If the quality of the fish/animation was better I would be more inclined to buy more, but not at this level.
