At first I really wasnt sure if this was going to be a big waste of time and money but to my surprise
it can deliver a really entertaining time killer.

THE GOOD

1: very realistic .. well at least to a civilian.
2: complex game mechaincs to those of us who dont like our games dumbed down.
3: strong sense of acomplishment when missions are completed
4: good variety of operations consisting of single missions, campaign and training.
5: A good challenge but far from impossible once youve learned your submarine skills.
6: Lots of replay value.
7: non linear game play do it your own style quiet or loud just be aware of critical objectives you are rewarded or punished based off your operating decisions.

THE BAD

1: No real training or explaining on how to actually operate ANYTHING ON YOUR SUB!
making life very difficult in the beginning. BTW I hope you learned how to use sonar and stealth tactics for a submarine in high school otherwise its very touch and go for the first 5 hours.
2: A hard sell for full price 20 dollars based off its a 1997 game best to find it on sale.
FINAL

I give this game a 7.0

A great simulator , if you can take the time experiment and read all the manuals and figuar out how a nuclear sub actually works you will find this game has a surprisingly high fun factor even for a 1997 game.

This is a great submarine simulation game. I felt right in the middle of the action, and there are definitely some tense moments, i.e. evading enemy torpedoes and stealthily sneaking up on an enemy submarine. The game has a steep learning curve at first if you've never played anything like it before. I recommend reading the captain's manual if you want some early pointers on how to learn the basics. Some of the missions take multiple hours to complete, and I found it easy to lose myself in the game. It's got simplistic graphics, as it is an older game. On Windows 7 platforms, I've noticed that the game doesn't run as reliably as older versions of Windows, i.e. random crashing in the middle of missions for no reason. That seems to be one of the only downfalls that I have come across. Other than that, definitely a thumbs up.

It is fun but do not expect high end graphics, This game does not utilize the high end graphics displays of todays systems. Do no expect full screeen displays or incredible displays.

... I think I sunk my battleship.

I have no idea what I'm doing here. I'm sure it's a great retro game for those that want a sub sim. I just have no idea what I'm doing :)

An old favorite of mine. Harpoon style gameplay, real time. Great modern sub simulator.

Dieses Spiel ist so dermaßen Komplex, dass ich eine Stunde gebraucht habe um die Funktionen der ganzen Schalter des U-Boots zu verstehen.
Alles natürlich auf Englisch und unverständlich für unwissende des Fachgebiets. Also wenn ihr wirklick wirklich wirklich ein U-Boot fan seid. Dann lasst es trotzdem sein. Es ist einfach nicht spaßig und dauert ewig von A nach B zu fahren, auch wenn man die Zeit schneller laufen lassen kann.
