What our customer's say!

"William's Review on Silent Hunter III", Silent Hunter III is probably the best sub sim ever devised its fun once you get the hang of it and has alot of cool things you may do on it.
But please note for eveery one who says the game is "too difficult" they didn't look hard enough when you are about to begin a patrol you should find something that says "Change Realism" click on that and change it to your pleasure. Then you may command a variety of U-boats such as the Type IIA and IID coastal boats, VIIB,VIIC,VIIC/41,VIIC/42 fleet boats. You can also command the IXB,IXC,IXD and I think the IXD2 and even the XII "Elektorboot". On the game you can get pretty much every single German torpedo emplyed on the U-boats and also any kind of FLAK gun or Deck Gun, you can even upgrade your engines and get radar!
The game is just positively huge, you can travel across the entire Arlantic Ocean an dif you want go into the Pacific just don't expect to find anything because thats not where game is supposed to take place I don't think there is anything there unless you buy an expansion pack and play as an "American" Submarine (its actually just a dressed up IXD2) but BEWARE the expansion pack has a 50/50 chance of working. Either way whether you use the expansion pack or not its still very fun to play and has a fairly good replay value if you make it more realistic each time you go through.
GREAT GAME! But beware of the expansion pack it only works on certain versions!

"When combined with GWX2.1 It's a Real Winner", SH III is a solid simulation game by itself. It really comes to life when the freeware mod GWX2.1 is added.

GWX2.1 was developed by an enthusiastic group of modders led by Capt.Lehman who make their online home [...]. This is a freeware mod available for download from members' signatures or from the GWX website.

This mod has a great variety of ships. The harbors are full of life and traffic.

The realism level and graphics are so improved that make GWX a completely new experience to the modded SHIII. This is not an arcade game and I highly recommend it to the mature, adult player.

"Silent Hunter 3", Not since Sierra's classic Aces of the Deep have fan's of the German WW2 submarine sim genre had much to get excited about, but that all changed when Ubi Soft released SH3. While still not quite the equal of AOD (it's still the standard for the genre), SH3 comes very, very close. The graphic's are great and the game play is very solid. The game run's very stable with Vista OS and I experianced no installation problems or crashes. I run SH3 with just about all graphics and sound options maxed and suffer no framerate hits. My PC is not a gaming monster (AMD 64 2.4ghz 1gb DDR memory and Geforce 7600GT 512mb video card) *NOTE* Early presses of this game had a copyright protection program called Starforce that caused problems with some DVDRW players (SH3 is on DVD format), later copies, like I have seemed to have taken care of this problem. If you buy an early release of SH3 please check the forums at UbiSoft or SimHq or other gaming sites for what to watch for and fixes for Starforce and to patch up your game to current version, again later copies are already patched up to the current version. Now back to SH3 gameplay...Most problems with submarine sim's is the complete boredom between action. Unlike AOD, SH3 has many things you can do to help through these times like good gfx. Standing on the bridge watching the waves roll by is a visual experiance, and crew management is another important part of the game. Leave your crew on station too long and they do fatigue, which could be catastrophic in an emergency situation. Like AOD targets do appear quite regularly as do the warships and patrol planes. A recent mission I played is a good example. I was returning from my assigned patrol grid near Scapa Flow. It had been a good patrol and I had bagged several merchants. My boat only had 3 torpedos left and I was a long way from my base at La Rochelle. I was running submerged during the day and on the surface at night to avoid detection. I had a couple close calls from some patroling destroyers and a couple patrol aircraft but managed to give them the slip. While about still 2 days out I ran across a merchant and a tanker and bagged them with my last torpedos. I decided to hug the French coast my last night to avoid the main shipping lanes through the channel, by morning I would be at my base. While running on the surface at about 2:00am my boat was suddenly illuminated by a spotlight! Shell's spashed around my boat and small caliber rounds peppered the conning tower, I ordered a crash dive. After 10 minutes of slient running and evasive action, I crept up to periscope depth for a look at my attacker. Low and behold, close by was an British Elco PT boat zipping here and there spotlight scanning the waters surface trying to find me! Talk about a close call, while most people assume the destroyer and aircraft as the only threat to WW2 sub's these little wooden wonder's can send you to davey jones locker just as fast. Small and stealthy they can pounce on you quickly and fatally. While watching the PT through my scope as I slipped away, I remember how shocked and also amazed I was. In all the sub sim's I have played this was the only one that actually had something in a ship smaller then a DE that would attack you. I was most impressed. Overall the whole game does very well through sight and sound to suspend belief for a few hours and put yourself into these sailors shoes.

"Slow paced sub sim", I understand this is a simulation. Perhaps I am too acustomed to faster paced action found in FPS's and RTS type games. But for what its worth silent hunter III is a solid sub sim. There are parts that lag though, especially getting to and from your objective area. Stalking allied convoys loses its thrill after twenty minutes of trying to line up a torpedo shot while avoiding lightening quick destroyer escorts. Enjoyable if you prefer slow paced simulation over constant action. Overall not a bad game.

"Silent Hunter III", I do not play Silent Hunter III that much, but in my opinion it is so far one of the most realistic submarine simulations in WWII. I am more familiar with the Pacific theatre than the Atlantic theatre. The game has animated crew figures, limited ammunition, and limited fuel. I bought the game by mistake. I originally wanted Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific which was sold out at the time, so I bought an alternate game. The submarines are realistic in detail. I have no experience with previous scenario editors of the type in SHIII. The missions and training scenarios are sometimes complicated, nice and realistic, but complicated to complete.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Silent Hunter 3", Well put together game. Adjustable realism settings so you can make it as hard or as easy as you'd like. I love watching the torpedoes impact on the event camera.

"Consuming!!", It's easy to get wrapped up in this game and lose track of time....it's very realistic. Hunting a convoy and then scoring 2 or 3 one hit kills on fat tankers will make you jump out of your arm-chair submarine in savage JOY!! It's a great game if you are especially a submarine enthusiast. Enjoy!!

"PLEASE answer...SORRY to be posting here...", Do you mind me asking at what age do you think a kid could get this and be able to play this?? Also, I've been trying to find and have not been able to find out if the graphics are gory (ie: blood, etc) or individual people getting hurt.

I have a six year old who LOVES u-boats and submarines and my husband has allowed him to play several games that unfortunately after I found out that it shows individual PEOPLE getting hurt, I had to do the Mom thing and take them away. What I'm torn about is that he is mentally IS capable to play advanced games, ie: his favorite is: Enigma Rising Tide (?)...he CAN play Command & Conquer but I have 'taken' that one away although his Dad lets him play when I'm not around.

I AM impressed with my son's ability to comprehend these games so I would like him to enjoy them but with also not exposing him to people getting blown up and such. Obviously, I KNOW and he knows that if you blow up a battleship, sub or an airplane that there are people theoretically in it but I don't want the graphics to show that for his age....

So...IS there a battleship, u-boat or say WWII game or something along those lines that have somewhat easy levels of strategy games that do not have graphics where it shows people getting hurt???

Thanks! And SORRY for posting this on a review area...I've read review after review without my questions being answered and don't know where else to look or ask...

"Overall good but with a few weak points", Overall this is a relatively good game but has a few weak points. It is a shame that UBI has not released a patch fixing most of these. They are (not necessarily in order of importance):

a) game crashes too much (the latest UBI patch helps here but does not totally eliminate problem)
b) Computer graphics are not adequate enough to enable full manual use of all features of game. This is especially important with respect to performing your own torpedo attacks manually. The graphics are not good enough to enable you to determine type of ship, distance, etc. Hence this wonderful feature of game (assuming it worked) is unuseable.
c) Even if you run out of fuel in mid-sea you can press the "return to base" feature and you automatically make it back to base! This is a bug that should be very easily fixed but that UBI patch has not fixed.
d) When going forward and looking through binoculars you can barely sea anything any of the time (even in perfectly calm weather conditions). Again, another bug that can easily be fixed.
e) It is indeterminate in either game play or instruction how exactly giving your medals, skill credentials, etc. improves performance of an individual crewman.

"Top Notch!", Plenty of able-bodied reviews already exist for this great title. My 2 cents: This game is a fantastic bargain and has everything you want in a U-Boat sim. If you grew up with Silent Service and loved it, this is a must-have. It will surprise you again and again with it's immersiveness and ease of play. Just buy it! :)
