Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific is a great addition to the SH series. It covers the Pacific Theater of World War 2 which for whatever reason seems to be ignored too often. But, I don't understand something about this sequel. Why didn't they just upgrade SHIII's game engine? Reason I say this is because there are a number of graphics glitches that weren't in the SHIII engine. For example, aircraft look like paper cutout rather then 3D models. Even their flight seems a bit odd. Also, the graphics while good in detail just aren't as crisp as in the last game. One minor issue I had was the sound volumes. For some reason, most of the in game sounds were somewhat muted. I could fix this by uping the volume but was had to crank it rather higher then any other game I currently run. Other then these issues, I think SH4 is a pretty good game. Especially if you download and patch to version 1.1. While this patch does not address the graphics issues, it does address a number of bugs. I am sure that future patches will continue to improve upon what is a solid foudation. I recommend anyone that is interested in a change of pace pick up a copy.
