Fun:
I have played with the other two Ship Simulators by VSTEP and have had no problems. I pre-ordered Ship Simulator Extremes (which is something I almost never do) and could not wait for it to arrive. When it arrived yesterday morning (28 August 2010) I went straight to install it;
1. You need to create a Steam account (which I have, so no problem there)
2. Then enter the Activation Code. STOP THERE Steam have turned around and said that I have an invalid code, which is crazy as it is a brand new game straight from the manufactures.
I did a little bit of research only to find that I am not the only one with problems a number of people have had the same problem weather it be the boxed version or downloaded version. I also found out that if you are lucky to get the game installed that there are even more problems with the game;
1. The game crashes on start-up
2. Menu's are not displayed just water
3. That the missions are not displayed
4. AI ship are not in the ports etc.
On the whole I think VSTEP should have stayed with Lighthouse and not gone to Paradox Interactive, as there didn't seem to be any major problems with the past versions.
DO NOT BUY. Wait a few month for all the bug to be worked out.

Fun:
I usually despise reviews of games that focus on issues of DRM instead of the actual game itself. But being a fan of the last 2 ship sims and being a Deck Officer myself I bought the game in eager anticipation fueled by the released videos shown in the last few weeks. What I found was something entirely different. Steam, while functional enough usually, will mostly refuse to accept any product key. And when I had got past this and installed the game, both on a laptop and a gaming PC I still couldn't get it to run. The no menu, infinite ocean bug stopped my playing on my laptop and a problem with steam meant I couldn't play on my PC. This is a poor example of a game. I expected better from Vstep, and I expected better from Paradox.

What a waste of money, I agree with fellow reviews here, I was looking forward to playing this game and have just wasted 2 hours trying to get it to work with no sucess and only getting sea backround that you can only spin around in.
Seems they have rushed this game out.

Good Purchase
This is a good game.
I would have liked more core "Adventures" and less "Greenpeace".
In all, worth buying.
