Fun, and well made! 5/5 [Posted on 2007-08-20]
The question is why would you NOT want to buy this game? It takes a while to get the hang of with a mouse, I recommend a keyboard as controls are more responsive. The phyisics are like real boats and ships. You must deal with lag of steering on the larger craft and course correction can be a challenge if diverting a colision with another boat. If you take damage(and on a large ship can total the campaign) you get less or no reward. No reward means you get no credit for completing the mission and cannot unlock the new ones. Their is a vista of scenery on the exterior view and you can go as high or near as you want. Thier is also a functioning bridge with detail and a scan and pan cam as outside. Some have crew some you can walk about on as in Titanic. Unlike most arcade style "Race car" games you can be on the bridge. The physics can also be appreciated out side such as reverse thrust on port and fore on starboard causing turbulance in the waters and the precise steering can be achieved by utilizing engines as well as rudder controls. Thier are fast motor boats giving you the feel of driving down NY's harbor with tourists to the vistas of Yatchs in the sunny pacific to the grandios Titanic ocean navigation making you feel like your captaining a huge vessel, not just "thinking" it. Don't pass this up or you will regret it when you play the DEMO and find the game is out of circulation!!!-THis review IS the FULL product!!!
Also try Yatch Captain- a similar sim by the same people focusing on Yatchs. Rumor has it thier are devices to control the ships better-the game claims to support ship sim input devices and a voice commander but I advise just the mouse and keyboard.

My almost 10-year-old grandson loves this game. When he saw that the Titanic was one of the ships included in the game, it has become his favorite. And I haven't heard any complaints from him about problems with it hanging up the system. One of the better games that we've purchased for him. Two thumbs up.

If you work in the maritime industry and enjoy computer games that does not involve killing people I think this is a very enjoyable game. I think anyone that understands the Rules of The Road, wind, tides and basic navigation will get much more enjoyment from this game. This game puts you at the helm of small work boats and large ships in a harbour setting and lets you test your pilot skills. A fast computer with good graphics card is a must. For all the engineers currently sailing who constantly complain that the deck dept is useless, this is the game for you.

Good, but not great. [Posted on 2008-02-05]
This game has realistic naval and vessel controls according to the proper vessel and the year of construction, but it tends to be slower and there aren't as many options as I had hoped. The only game that has met my match was a PC game I ordered through the internet last year called Virtual Sailor 7.0. Unfortunately I also have a new computer too, because that game corrupted my PC. The weather, vessel and other functions on that game were fantastic. Nothing has come close to it.
