Silent Hunter II

"Silent Hunter II could satisfy an average player who is in for some experimenting, but it was primarily meant for the Hard-core sim fans."

"Silent Hunter II and Destroyer Command will be released simultaneously...as companion products with similar interfaces so players can easily move between them... will allow for co-operative multiplayer games... played exclusively from the German side..."

"Although Silent Hunter II is a solid simulator of submarine combat, its linear campaign and mediocre graphics make it but a shadow of what was promised 18 months ago."

"According to Storc, gamers will need that advantage when they face Silent Hunter II's improved AI. "The Japanese never did develop tactics or technology that could compare with the Allied advances, especially later in the war. The implementation of these differing technologies and tactics will be what sets the Silent Hunter II AI apart from the original." "

"There is undoubtedly a very sound submarine simulation engine at the heart of Silent Hunter II. This game has some good points and there are times when it is enjoyable but it quickly turns repetitive due to its lack of depth."
