User Rating: 9.5 | Silent Hunter III PC
I had no idea what to expect when I bought this game but was blown away by it. The game sucks you in with great atmosphere and time flies by. While there's a lot to learn it runs smooth and the less realistic settings make the learning curve manageable and enjoyable. You'll find yourself striving to become proficient enough to set it to 100% realism. The graphics are wonderful and really draw you into the game as you stand on deck to finish off a lone merchant ship with the deck gun as to not waste your precious torpedoes. While it's not brand new or the amazing graphically it has a feel to it that's just right.

The sounds play a great deal in submersion and are great. Sitting on the edge of your seat as an enemy destroyer searches for you with active sonar is thrilling. Trying to figure out their distance and heading. Sound plays a lot into a WWII Submarine Sim and this game really brings it to life.

Game play can become kind of repetitive as you hunt down a ship, sink it, and return to port just to do it all over again but it takes a while until that point is reached. At least for me anyway a couple months. Overall I think this game is an excellent creation. I feel the submersion of it is much better than the newer Silent Hunter 4 and it'll have you scourging the internet to better your tactics, choose the best armament, and try to gain an advantage.
