I have played the silent hunter games for many years and love the realism they have brought to controlling a WW2 submarine. I was really looking forward to this game and thought it would be a new and improved SH3 & 4, how disappointed I was. The graphics are fantastic and being able to walk around your submarine and give commands to the crew is great, but that's where it ends. The control interface is terrible, what the hell was wrong with the tried and tested controls of previous versions? The game has been much dumbed down, I suppose to attract those simpler folk who just want to point and shoot. This is my first post reviewing a game but I felt so strongly about how poor this game is I had to submit my own. Those people on here giving good reviews can only be devs for the game as I can't honestly understand how anyone who played previous versions of SH can like it!
