One of the few games that can be more accurately referred to as a simulation, and sadly we're seeing fewer and fewer of these. This submarine warfare combat at it's best. The graphics are stunning, and the dynamic campaign is challenging and immersive. It's not a game for the casual player though. Much of the time, nothing is happening as you sail across the pacific to and from your destination, but the action, when it happens is intense. There is just once criticism I have, and that is the submarine warfare in the Pacific between the US and Japan was not as intense and extensive as the Uboat war in Europe. It's just not as exciting and there's not as much to do, and the game suffers from that a little.
