Spank!

Hostile Waters is not only a superb PC game it's actually one of the very best games I've ever played.

Adrenaline Vault

With superb graphics, sound, and music, as well as immersive and challenging gameplay, Rage has really done its job in making sure that this title has no real weaknesses. The plot development and cinematics are simply in a class by themselves.

Yahoo! Games

Tremendous fun. It doesn't innovate so much as it refines and ties together a couple of different elements into a satisfying whole.

Voodoo Extreme

It’s very fast paced, yet strategic at the same time – as such, it requires lightning fast decisions to be made in order to be successful. Many action gamers, as well as strategy gamers, will enjoy it.

IGN

This is a great mix of strategy and action and should keep most gamers well entertained. There's a lot going for this title even through it's AI flaws and sometimes difficult command interface.

GameSpot

The game's excellent story, action elements, de-emphasis on repetitive base building, and largely automated resource collection ensure that even the most jaded real-time strategy player will find something fresh and exciting in Hostile Waters.

Electric Playground

Nice single-player game progression, though, and a welcome transfusion of RTS gaming's life-blood.

Game Revolution

Best taken as what it is: an experience. It is a graphically beautiful, fully engrossing story that lets the player take the role of combatant and commander.

HW:AR creates innovative and white-knuckled gameplay that will strain both your reflexes and your wits, not to mention your cool head.

Armchair Empire

Those strategists who want to work on their battlefield commanding ability will enjoy this game more than people whose greatest thrill is decimating an enemy with an unstoppable force.

GameSpy

It's a "one night stand" of a game, pretty but not perfect, a nice way to kill some time, and it's good for the duration as long as you don't think too hard about it.

ActionTrip

If you want an action strategy with unique moments, and you don't mind stupid camera placement, and you're not too much into online fighting, and live in Europe, Hostile Waters is a decent choice.

GamePower

A distasteful plot combined with bitterly frustrating controls saps a lot of the fun out of what could have been a real winner.

Gamezilla!

Ultimately, a gap-filled and very linear storyline, a lack of any sort of multiplayer or joystick support, and the relative ease of mission completion undermine any real value here for the gamer.
