For sim fans, the best subsim yet.

User Rating: 8.9 | Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific PC

SH4 looks and plays amazing. There are bugs which have been reported and harped upon ad nauseam, but most of us have had a clean ride. Patches are forthcoming.

If you liked SH3 at all, you will love SH4. If you didn't like SH3, you're probably the person saying how horrible this game is because you hoped for something completely different. Surprise! Sequels are similar!

If would be so easy for Ubisoft to release a really crappy subsim and call it "keeping the genre alive", but in fact they push the envelope in all areas of the game: the graphics are some of the best in any game to date, period; the dynamic campaign puts to shape every scripted game out there (most); and the sim is one which you can play both casually and hardcore.

The first time you sink a Japanese battleship, follow it underwater to the very bottom of the sea. It's probably one of the more amazing underwater moments in gaming – the sounds, the effects, the darkness — it's highly creepy and highly realistic.
