Honestly the island town simply acts as a hub interface rather than an immersive experience, and that's fine. Whether it's conversing with locals, shopping for new gear, or hitting up the auction house, everything is menu based. But when you're on land, the 2D island town is represented from a bird's eye view, and interaction is done in a menu fashion. While diving the game is all polygonal and the camera is first person. This is made more challenging by limited HP, always dwindling air supply, sometimes confusing environments, and occasionally dangerous aquatic fauna. Typically you're required to find a long lost wreck, dive to it, explore it, retrieve an object, and safely make your way back to surface again. Like the first Everblue, most of the gameplay focuses on salvaging.
The plot is pretty interesting overall, with plenty of likeable characters and intriguing dialogue. Ultimately this rivalry gives way to an accidentally awakened elder legend, a dangerous force which must be quieted or else everyone on the island may end up dead. Eventually his club ends up fighting against an encroaching corporation that's more interested in ruthlessly stealing artifacts than preserving marine sanctuaries. From there he begins meeting more of the indigenous townsfolk, forming friendships and bonds. Having to start all over again is easy enough, as Leo's quickly indoctrinated into a local diving club. This time Leo ends up shipwrecked on an island he's never heard of, and loses all his gear. Yes indeed, Everblue 2's plot is a direct continuation of the original Everblue. Once again the player takes on the role of Leonardo Delfino, the protagonist of the original Everblue. Perhaps it was the total lack of violence and killing? Whatever the case, Everblue 2 is a great game, albeit not without some qualms admittedly. Unfortunately the concept of an action adventure RPG hybrid all about SCUBA salvaging didn't excite the average 2003 reviewer. Perhaps even if they had played the original Everblue, USA reviewers still would have scored Everblue 2 low (as nearly all of them did). Unlike their luckier European counterparts, USA gamers had missed out on the original Everblue, and thus didn't have the same frame of reference.

Leo returns to the island as a hero, but his adventures as a diver may just be starting. Leo eventually ventures to the sunken submarine to recover the Erebos and is successful in returning it to Telospolis, calming the oceans. At this point the ocean begins to turn stormy as the power of Erebos runs out of control. The search is cut short when it is discovered that SeaDross has discovered Erebos in Telospolis, however, they failed to realize the malevolent powers contained within the relic causing their submarine (and Erebos) to sink to the ocean depths. Leo and his friends race against time to locate the Erebos, diving to several underwater locations including: a sunken Ferry, a crashed 747, an old cruise ship, a pirate Galleon and an ancient underwater city called Telospolis. While on the island, Leo and the Amigos discover that a nefarious aquatic salvaging company named SeaDross is searching for an ancient pirate treasure called Erebos. There, they meet a group of scuba divers called The Amigos. Their ship sinks in a huge storm and they swim to a nearby island. Leo is a diver who sails through a fictional treacherous Caribbean sea with his friends. Over time the player unlocks dive sites such as a sunken freighter, a downed airplane, a pirate ship, a sunken luxury liner, a submarine and an undersea temple. This money can be used to buy equipment allowing a player access to deeper and more challenging dives. As Leo, the game's only playable character, the player earns money by finding precious materials with their metal, glass, wood, clay, and stone sonars, and looting artifacts from shipwrecks.
