Customer Reviews

Like a real skipper I've played ship simulator 2006, and for me as marine engineer is very good simulation with some real ship maneuvering characteristics, but the 2008 demo version is even better, with very good sever weather simulation and how the boat response on it. As I can se the buoyage system is now improved. Excellent ship simulator. not for everyone finally a game the grown ups and young adults can enjoy. You have the chance to play with near real simulations under a number of variables. Until you get the hang of it, though, you feel like you need six hands. its okay the graphics arent very good and the ship to shore radio is so distorted and accented that it is impossible to understand what is being said. The game can be fun, but if you are looking for an ocean going version of microsoft flight simulator this isn't it. It's not a lousy game, nor is it a great game, it's just okay.
