By wobbly
Fun:   
It could have been great but its not,the game is made with a off the shelf 3D presentation engine, not a game engine so it runs very badly, some missions like the jet ski are almost unplayable and the game slows down to a crawl when some boats (not all) sail past,the game engine simply cant deliver a smooth frame rate and cant cope with the demands of the AI,i did get slightly better performance from a XP machine but it wasn't great Vista and ship Sim don't get on.I make a living building PCs and i couldn't get this game to run smoothly on my high end gaming rig that runs any A+ game you could mention with ease.Now if you want tech support or forum support you will also be very disappointed,tech support wouldn't reply to any of my questions about the game and the forum is dominated by moderators who know very little about how game engine works (and even less about PCs) and give potently PC wrecking advice,i posted my dxdiag and some of the claims that my PC was faulty, i was out of memory and my quad core processor is slower than Pentium 4 (had me laughing out loud) even though i clearly stated i have no problems running any other games.So the bottom line is, poor graphics, poor game,poor support and poor sound and after all that you are wondering why one of the other reviewers (Angus Traddles) gave it such a high mark its because he a moderator on the ship Sim forum.So please don't waste your money buying this rubbish.

Fun:   
Good game but be careful that your computer is up th scratch and has all the proper drivers installed, mine is running at its maximum capability old computer, 3.2 gig CPU. Takes a long time to load but the graphics are great. It is good to see a lot of the navigational errors on previous editions have been sorted, but not all!!

Fun:   
Having tried a few different missions on this game, i cant say im overly impressed.

The game engine it self is not terrific, built on presentation software. Depending on the mission, and map you have selected will generally effect how fast the game runs. In the atlantic ocean with 2 boats the game will give you an amazing FPS, however in the harbour surrounded by over 20 boats the game will slow to a crawl.

The boats vary in detail from terrific to poor, and the handling on one or two could be greatly improved.
If your looking for an enjoyable game that you can immerse yourself in for hours, this sadly is not it. If your a boat fanatic, you may be able to get some enjoyment out of it.
