    A niche of WWII naval sim gamers will find this game simply awesome. Where the game lacks in eye candy, more than makes up in strategy re-playability, and realism.

    About as deep and immersive as naval combat sims come. [May 2002, p.68]

    Ubisoft captured all of the elements needed to control a WWII era destroyer except what it might actually feel like to command one.
  4. Electric Playground

    Mediocre graphics, poor design choices, and unfinished features sink what could otherwise have been a fine game.
  5. Armchair Empire

    There are bugs and crashes to contend with, the crossover with Silent Hunter II is non-existent, and the learning curve will leave you panting if you’re new to the simulation scene.

    The incredibly stupid AI is also a big problem since it is hard to overlook the mechanical flaws when the gameplay is only moderately engaging.

    Sometimes software is released in such a wretched state that the developers may as well just come to your house and kick your dog for $40...This is a blatant and insulting instance of a game released too early to the detriment of the people who buy it.

    It really makes you feel like a captain in a destroyer.

    A good game, but could do with a bit of work.
