Silent Hunter III |
|
Command the cunning and deadly U-boats of the North Atlantic and experience the tension-filled atmosphere of a WWII submarine movie. The king of submarine simulations returns with an all-new 3D game engine, new crew-command features, and more realistic action than ever before. The game includes a career campaign, patrols that have both single and historical missions, a mission editor, and a multiplayer feature. Whether it’s stalking destroyers or hiding from depth charges, players will experience their own personal war story. The spectacular graphics, multiplayer options, and suspenseful gameplay combine to create the most impressive submarine simulation ever. [Ubisoft]

GameSpy
This is a classic game that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as "F-19," "Longbow 2," and "European Air War."

Computer Gaming World
"Dangerous Waters" is a superb modern naval combat simulator but Silent Hunter III is destined to be a Sim Hall of Fam all-time classic. [June 2005, p.94]
94
PC Gameworld
As it is, Silent Hunter III is easily the best submarine simulation ever made.
93
Pelit (Finland)
Might as well be called "Das Boot - the game".
Not only does it simulate the hardware realistically, the atmosphere is so thick you can almost slice it. This is exactly how simulators should be made to attract the casual crowd as well as the hardcore sim nuts. [May 05]
92
3DAvenue
Without a doubt this game is a must have for any Naval Simulation fan, the flexibility in complexity has so much to offer that allows for beginner all the way through to expert.
91
FiringSquad
The best simulation we've played in years. It retains accessibility while offering remarkable levels of detail and realism... It is visually attractive, aurally satisfying and quite simply a breathtaking experience.
90
Boomtown
Quite simply the best submarine game ever, and it will provide months of entertainment.
90
Game Chronicles
A gem of a simulation game; for that matter it’s easily one of the top war games of ALL TIME.
90
PC Gamer
A final word about the dynamic campaign: it's incredible... This mode could keep some people going for years. [June 2005, p.64]
90
Loaded Inc
The settings enable you to play either a relatively easy game war, or, for the hardcore submarine fan, enjoy a situation in which you are responsible for literally every aspect of the submarine’s function.
90
Pelaaja (Finland)
Silent Hunter III is the "Das Boot" of gaming. An undeniable classic. [May 2005, p 86]
90
Jolt Online Gaming UK
Invest some time in Silent Hunter III, learn how to play it properly, find out what all of the dials do and memorise all of the keyboard shortcuts and it will pay you back with countless hours of cinematic, realistic, and brilliant gameplay. But remember, this ain’t for the casual gamer.
90
Computer Games Magazine
There's plenty of visceral thrill in wading into the middle of a convoy at night and letting loose with your deck gun. [July 2005, p.64]
89
GameSpot
It lets you feel like you are a submarine captain in charge of a powerful but fragile U-boat, it provides a sobering history lesson, and the campaign makes you feel like you are a small but important part of a much larger conflict. Those are the hallmarks of a truly great simulation.
88
IGN
Definitely worth the wait. The campaign is fantastic and the overall presentation is a sim fan's dream.
88
PC Format
From the ridiculous to the sublime: one for fans of undersea combat. [June 2005, p.98]
87
IC-Games
Silent Hunter III is not really my sort of game but I was totally immersed in it. It is as complete a Submarine Sim as I would think it’s possible to get.
87
Computer Games Online RO
Silent Hunter 3 is without a doubt a step forward for the series, not just regarding graphics but through the introduction of new game options as well.
86
GameZone
You will be able to control almost every single aspect of what went on during World War II campaigns to see if you have what it takes to be a good commander and stay alive.
83
Computer and Video Games
The AI puts up a good fight at the higher realism settings, and should you wish to throw caution to the wind and try manual torpedo solutions, you'll either be in maths heaven, or find your brain oozing from your ears (or both). Don't worry - it's a lot more fun than it sounds.
80
G4 TV
Strikes a careful balance between accessibility and the hideous complexity. And it looks good doing it.
80
eToychest
Peerless as a simulator, no doubt about it, but as a game it has its failings. Despite the efforts of the developers, it is doubtful that anyone who is not at least partly interested in the simulation aspects of the game will enjoy it at all.
80
GamerFeed
Unless you've harbored a fantasy all your life to be a Captain of your very own submarine, you probably won't derive too much enjoyment from this exceptionally hardcore simulation.
