 Good game hobbled by poor management May 24, 2007

This game would be fun to play if it hadn't been rushed out the door like it was. Even after two patches, critical issues remain with the AI, the chronometer does not work as advertised, radar and sonar do not work properly, and the measurement system does not work properly when using imperial units. To top it off, due to poor past decisions made by Ubisoft, we are stuck with inappropriate Allied aircraft (Lancasters in the Pacific? LOL), only one fleet carrier for the USN (and an early-war one at that) and medals that are totally fantasy. Had this game been published by anyone else and given proper time to develop, these problems wouldn't exist. As is stands, Silent Hunter 4 1.2 is a good game but still hindered by bugs and omissions that shouldn't have been there to start with.

Run (don't walk) out and buy it right now. The graphics look so real you won't believe your eyes. The ocean, the ships, the explosions, the fires. The enemy destroyers are smarter than SH3 and I have a hard time popping up to shoot 1 or 2 torpedoes before they get me. They have a Patch out that fixes all the issues that some poeple may be having but mine works great right out of the box. Maybe cause I have a good machine with NVidia SLI Video Cards. Well I am off to sink the Yamamoto (or at least try to). Dam Torpedoes!

If you enjoyed Silent Hunter 3 then buy this one as long as you have a fast processor. I'm running it on AMD 4400 / 7300 Nivdia Card. I can only run the graphics at "Medium".
Everything that was missing in SH3 is here. Mines, Ships in Harbors, radio traffic, life boats, people on the various ships move around, and even some history of the campaign as you go along.

Everything I have heard about this game is true - the good and bad. Right out of the box there was an immediate problem with Bugs. I have downloaded the patch, but there are still some serious gliches. Ubisoft is known for bugs, but they really out did themselves. It seems that they forgot to do any quality control testing. The game itself is fun - if you get past the low quality programming.

Have used other UBISOFT products in the past and was very disappointed in their efforts here and the product they have put on the street. This game is new to the market, is not very computer compatible with more bugs than worth the effort, and should have been released as a beta version. After a few sessions it has been uninstalled.
