Customer Reviews

Surprise find...
Graphics are very good indeed, as is the realism (although my submarine warfare experience is, thankfully, zero). It is a game that requires much patience and you can return from missions lasting several days without even having any enemy engagament! But the fun of sneaking into the middle of a convoy then picking off boats at will is very satisfying. Just don't let the enemy start pinging you!! Hours of enjoyment for the patient amongst you.

Not for Vista
This is a good improvement over SH2, mainly because of the new campaign mode. In the SH2, you could sink a battleship in one mission and see it again in the next. SH3 keeps track of these.

Unfortunately, it's NOT Vista compatible, as I found out when My old Xp machine fried it's motherboard.

One new build machine with Vista64HP and SH3 refused to run (though it installs and informed me My OS was okay). Tried removing the disc protection (using software provided) and still nothing.

SH4 on the other hand is better still, though it has a few problems. And is fully Vista(64 and 32) compatible.

Great!
This is a surperb game, but not for the casual gamer. The graphics are fantastic, it sounds great, and the enemy AI is (almost always) pretty damn smart. The fun of sneaking your boat into a good firing position, setting a torpedo to run just below the enemy's keel and then seeing the magnetic fuse break that ship's back is not to be underestimated. You will need some patience, it takes a while to learn all the tricks, but an excellent game.
