- Ship Simulator for the Nautically Obsessed
Ship Simulator is a decent product for a light-hearted simulation of powered ships. Using it, you can become the captain of a number of different vessels, including a supertanker, rescue vessel, various powerboats, and even the Titanic. Several world class harbors are accurately reproduced with realistic scenery and other boat traffic. The physics of powered boats are reasonably well done. A large number of missions take you from novice to expert ship driver.

There are no sailboats, alas, and the controls can be twitchy at high speeds. There is full support for keyboard, mouse, and joystick controls, and camera angles can be varied at will.

- Great concept but equally flawed game....
My father is a seaman. I have seen many ships, sailed with him around the world numerous times. So ships are in my blood. When i saw this game I bought it without batting an eyelid. Well I wish I didn't because I now regret my decision.

The game is unique in its concept. We never really had a maritime ship simulation that wasn't centrally focused on war and sinking other ships :). This one happens to be just peace-time shipping simulation with different kinds of detailed ships ranging from cargo, to passenger, to rescues, to towing, to even trying to alter history by succesfully sailing Titanic to New york on its first maiden voyage etc. The game creator has gone to great details to simulate as much as possible the Intricacies of piloting as well as managing huge ships operations. Any aspiring sea captian or sea salt will identify with some if not most aspects of piloting a ship as simulated in this game. But to me thats where all the goodies end.

The cons associated with game are just too game-breaking to me and i have essentially stopped playing the game. Until these issues gets addressed i am not spending anymore money on this games series.

First and foremost this game badly needs a voluntary "Time Compression" feature. Not all of us have 2-3 hours to devote each time we decide to play this game to have some fun. Sometimes it take an hour or so just to get out of harbour and tag some hours more on this to complete the mission. With a game in which you are looking at ocean waves for hours this gets boring really fast. This is just plain very annoying and game destroying factor to me. I know some people have all the time in the world to savour and enjoy games but a lot dont too. Since its not a action oriented game the passage of time is felt even more. If they can incorporate a Time Compression feature it will make the game lot more open to different segments of gamers.

Second is the still dated graphics engine. I see lots of people commenting on how good the graphics look. I have a pretty good rig and i can play games like Mass Effect and Silent Hunter 4 in almost thearatical quality but even with everything maxed out this game just looks medicore graphics wise. The ships and ocean etc. looks very simplistically rendered from today's standard. The graphical quality of this game released in 2008 is kind of dissappointing though.

Last some of the missions in the game are just plain novice or fillers in my opinion. This game is geared towards people who like to pilot huge ships yet we have a lot of missions devoted to speed boats for stunts, hover boats etc. I bought the game to simulate a ship expirience not go around flipping in speed boats.

Anyways..i wouldn't really recommend anyone spend $40 bucks on this game. Wait until it gets to $19 or so bargain bin. And i hope the developers put some real effort into make a more viable ship simluator for its next incarnation or you are not getting any more money from me.

- A blast!
I have not used all of this simulator's features yet, but I am very pleased. I think that it is a good buy. I have had lots of fun just cruising around in the different boats and have only scratched the surface. I have not attempted any of the missions yet, but there seems to be a good variety of them. I think that this is a very cool product. It would be even better with a joystick, which I do not currently have, but is not too hard to control with the keyboard and mouse. It gives you both a cockpit view and a birds-eye view, which is nice. I think that it is a good investment if you wish that you were behind the helm of a boat (or ship)!

- AWESOME
I think this game is awesome. I like the detail of the waves, and the water splashing on boards. However, I do think that they should have put a big cruise ship and a yacht and a fishing boat in the classic Ship Simulator 2008, instead of in an expansion pack (New Horizons) that costs and extra $48.00. Overall I think it is a good game though.

- Very nicely done
This game is a good way on getting at the helm of the RMS Titanic and I am very well satisfied with it. I do hope that any of you who does decied ot buy it will also enjoy it.
