Very well conceived and produced. I am not sure if any but the most die-hard naval sim fans will be able to truly appreciate what they have at their fingertips when playing.
-
The diversity in gameplay, multiplayer potential and mod possibilities all add up to make a game that many of us will be playing for a long time to come. Sinking your teeth into the game will take some time, but with the help of the manual and tutorial videos it is not that daunting at all.
-
One of the most detailed non-classified naval simulations available to the public. Definitely has the “Military Channel” wow factor.
-
If you crave strategy and realism, Dangerous Waters is a simulation that'll have you playing for years to come.
-
Pelit (Finland)The new non-sub platforms add a tremendous amount of interest and works wonders for the multiplayer mode. I hope to see add-ons with even more surface units. [Mar. 05]
-
This title is detailed enough to be used as a training tool for Navy cadets but is still accessible to the persistent player.
-
Deep gameplay overlaid with challenge in a seemingly accurate playground of modern naval combat.
-
From hunting submarines in a helicopter whilst utilising sonar buoys or making a tense approach into an all too shallow harbour to stick your periscope up and take a peek at what’s there, Dangerous Waters manages to simulate all the thrills and spills of modern naval warfare seamlessly.
-
Dangerous Waters plays to a small audience, the war sim market… but delivers the goods!
-
PC GamerA near-ultimate meat-and-potatoes meal for naval simmers. [Apr 2005, p.68]
-
Short of actually enlisting, games like Dangerous Waters are as close as many of us can get to knowing the how and why of real world navy operations. Sonalysts Combat Simulations really delivers on this score, authentically recreating the processes of combat, from identification to engagement, in a variety of exciting missions.
-
A highly-detailed, multi-platform naval simulator, perfect for fans of the genre. However, Dangerous Waters is also quite unfriendly toward newbies, so enter at your own risk.
-
PC FormatEasily the most engrossing and authentic sub sim out there. [July 2006, p.92]
-
Leave it to Sonalysts to create a modern-day naval survey simulation that has the breadth and depth of the oceans where the combat it simulates takes place.
-
With the ability to create your own missions and campaigns as well as pass them on to others ensures there is plenty to offer with this title and the difficulty making a game that should last hours per mission.
-
Computer Gaming WorldDangerous Waters is a superb modern naval combat simulator but Silent Hunter III is destined to be a Sim Hall of Fam all-time classic. [June 2005, p.94]
-
Only certain people will appreciate it, but they'll love the hell out of it.
-
With a full range of attack subs, surface vessels and the introduction of aircraft it's amazing that a simulation can remain so detailed and focussed.
-
If you know sod-all about sea-faring, and don’t have the desire to spend several hours learning about it before getting to blow stuff up, then watch The Hunt for Red October and get Silent Hunter III.
-
And even though the game is rich with tension (certainly enough to offset the mediocre graphics), unless you're at her majesty's pleasure, you probably won't have the time.
-
Computer Games MagazineGives you a lot of things to do, but it's unlikely to light the old sim fire the way you might remember it. [July 2005, p.64]
-
A hardcore sim for the truly hardcore sim fan.
-
A very good simulator for naval combat that includes realistic ships, aircraft, mission types and mission areas. This is a great naval experience whether you have legs born of years at sea or if you are just looking to get your feet wet (that pun was intended).
-
A good game insomuch as it’s about as realistic as you can get. But that devotion to realism can be an unforgiving master. If you’re new to the genre, stay far away from this game. It’ll only end in tears.

AdrianN.Jan 30, 2007This could be an aeronaval simulator. It is better than a game.
