I had known about this for 2 years when I bought it. My troubles started when it took 5 HOURS to download. Then, I was slightly upset when I saw some of my favorite ships from ship sim 2008 (e.g Titanic) were not there! The next day, some really wierd things started happening. When I got near a ship, often it would shoot up, clone itself, come back down and try to kill me. other times it would cause the game to crash. The occurances where it didn't glitch, the ship would swing away from me. The game would freeze in san fransisco. I couldn't travel from port to port in free mode. While walking on the ships, I couldn't run. So, I came to the conclusion that you are better off buying ship simulator 2008.

Great Game but not without issues

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2010

Platform: PC DownloadEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

I tried the trial version of this game and really enjoyed it. I purchased the game and have been trying to play it. The graphics are great, the program is very realistic in its response to commands. I am a retired U.S. Coast Guard Chief Bosn's Mate so I have experience in what to expect from throttle, rudder and bow thruster commands.

My issue with this game is technical. I am operating a brand new Dell with a Intel I7 chip, 6GB of Ram, and a 1TB HD. I have a new video card on order to see if that will make the situation better. The installation was a problem, it finnally installed on the 4th attempt.

This game loves to crash! I have to constantly save the game I am playing to make sure I don't lose any data. (What is funny is that the trial version did not crash at all! Go Figure?)

The tech support forum is of very little help.

I Love and Hate this game all at the same time!

Great simulator!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2011

Platform: PC DownloadEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

I've been using simulators for years, and I have to say that this one is an absolute delight. It does what it says it does: it simulates the operation of ships (and some smaller craft) in a variety of environments and conditions. The graphics are beautiful, and the physics are convincing. It has verisimilitude. Dare I say that it is "immersive"? That you can "sink into it" and feel as though you are actually on board a ship, sailing the seas?

I have spent a fair amount of time on board vessels, and I can say that this simulation captures the experience quite well.

Unlike other reviewers, I found that it took no time whatsoever to jump into a boat, push the throttle forward, look around, etc. For me, at least, the controls work just fine.

No, it is not a "run 'n gun" game. The point is to travel on the ocean. Rather like the point of MS Flight Simulator is to fly around the sky. So those looking for more action may want to try the Silent Hunter games or PT Boats from Battlefront. But for those who would like to get out on the high seas, you can't do better than this.

Exellent game

The game, which I have played at a friends house is exellent, just as good if not better then its previous edition. I myself am still working on getting it to funtion properly. I do not think it is the game's/amazons fault. I belive my computer has been starved of critical updates. The game itself is amazing though. It has decent graphics(excelent for a simulator game) and most of all it has realism. The game has missions that are easy for beginers and skill straining for veterans. it is an excelent game and I highly recomend it for realism and entertainment

Fun but needs some work.

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2011

Platform: PC DownloadEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

I downloaded this from Amazon. The price was cheap, I can't complain about that.

The simulator is fun. Lot's of options regarding weather, time of day and such. The clouds look a little fake. The missions are enjoyable, most are easy, some are pretty hard, especially when you have to tug a huge ship into a harbor. I wish there were more view options. Also, I wish you could control the ship when using the "3" view as I like to put myself on the side where I am docking so I can see what I am doing. I know you can do it with the "1" view, but it's not as realistic if you watch from above, a captain doesn't have that luxury. The biggest issue in my opinion is the limited world you can discover. Rather than just giving you a very simplified rest of the world, you can only sail in the select few harbors and no further. The program just tells you that you have left the area and sends you back to the main menu. Some years ago I had a different ship simulator, and it had all of the world at least in a rudimentary style. The general physics seem pretty good, although sometimes when I reverse a regular ship with a normal rudder, it doesn't seem to react to the rudder in a manner I think it should. I'm just used to small boats, so it may be accurate that a super tanker does odd stuff when reversing, I wouldn't know, if there are any super tanker captains here, please let me know.

I run it on an older PC with Win 7 64 bit, a Q9400 quad core 2.66 GHz processor, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GT230 graphics card. All settings are maxed out and I never see any video lag.

I do hope the company keeps at it and tweaks the game a little more and maybe add some more scenery, that would be nice. I would love for example to have the Piraeus Harbor in Athens and the surrounding area.

All in all, if you love ships, and considering the price, this is a fun game, but I think it may get boring in a short amount of time.

Update:
I have played with this sim for a while now and have become slightly annoyed at two things. First, when free roaming, even though you can land yourself at many places in a harbor, there aren't very many places to actually dock. Sorry, I don't know the marine lingo, but what I mean is you can't attach ropes to the dock. Even some places where you could, it won't let you in free roam. Makes no sense, docking properly is the biggest challenge in this game with a big ship.
Another annoyance is that when you drift into the dock even at 0.3 knots, the dock sometimes launches the ship at high speed the opposite way. Very frustrating and highly unrealistic.
The other annoyance is the sound samples. Most sounds sample are way to short. The wind sound will drive you nuts after a minute, as it is the same loop over and over and not spliced very smooth. Engine sound is the same. Odd is also that if you are inside a large ship, you hear the wind as loud as you would on a sailboat. I doubt you hear much wind on a large ship bridge. Probably mostly the humming of the engines.

Old Product or just not as advertised

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020

Platform: PC DownloadEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

I saw it would work on windows, but I read a reply to a question and the person said yes that it required a steam account. I tried to back out on the deal, but I could not. It turned out that I did not need steam. It was hard to find how to download it, something about being in my library on Amazon? I was able to download it. It gave me a lot of false errors and I kept at it and at last made it work on Windows. It seems outdated and not any way as good as the demo version. Ships do not need refueling and I still have not found a dock with mornings! Not many other ships as traffic... it is not what I expected after playing the demo. Not worth $5.00 much less the $20.00 I paid!
