Summary

In this new edition, Nadéo has focused on making the game as immersive and captivating as possible. With a view to create highly realistic ocean environments, they have devoted great energy and talent to ocean modelling, from the ocean itself, its movement, swells and fury, down to the coastlines and crystal-clear waters where the seafloor suddenly comes to life. In Virtual Skipper 4, the action also takes place up in the sky. Nadéo has created fully animated, 3D volumetric clouds that filter the game's superb lighting effects and added real-time day and night cycles that enhance the high level of realism of Virtual Skipper 4. Players will embark seaward to extraordinary foreign climes. In addition to the six existing seascapes (San Francisco, Auckland, Quiberon etc), the game now features six new locations where players can battle it out on the water in Single player or Multiplayer Mode: Marseilles, Valencia, Rio, Vancouver, Naples and Qingdao.

PC Format

Pretty niche, but an excellent digital rendition of competitive sailing.

VS4 does cater for both the enthusiast and for the more casual player well. A good interface, simple controls, solid gameplay and decent graphics all add up to a game that I would recommend.

IGN

Most gamers will find the challenge of proper sail selection and observance of laylines poor substitutes for powerslides, rocket boosts and machine guns. I'm not knocking the sport of sailing here, but gamers who are considering giving the title a try should be prepared for a very subtle sort of excitement.

Worth Playing

The graphics range from spectacular (water, lighting) to drab (everything on land), depending on what you're looking at. The sound effects are nominal, the controls, interface, and gameplay are functional, and overall it's a stable and somewhat entertaining product.
