I think the clincher is the idea that DW is best, Multi-Player. I am inclined to shy away from that. I often need time to gather my thoughts about what to do, and how to do it. That became quickly apparent when all I was doing was EJECTING in that plane game!

DW is NOTHING like a plane game. You usually have quite a bit of time on your hands to evaluate situations, multiplayer or not. DW situations tend to evolve in slow motion. It's almost like a game of Chess in it's execution. I've been a part of multiplayer games where me and my buddy were stalking each other for a good five hours before one of us got the drop on the other. You can allso set up missions so that you're both on the same team. I like those type of missions the best rather than player vs player.
The mission editor adds a LOT to the replay value and there's always room for more new missions out there !
I for one find the single missions AND the multiplayer very rewarding. Multiplayer IS where the most fun is, but there are a LOT of fun and interesting single player missions out there as well. Don't totally discount DW on that. I actually prefer DW over SH4. There's no eye candy, but it doesn't NEED any.
Silent Hunter 4 is more of an adventure game rather than a simulation. DW is a simulator in the most pure of form. Heck. Looking at what's going on outside for the eye candy is CHEATING in my book. The stations are rendered very well.
I'd say download the demo from the Sonalysts website and give it a dry run. The demo has some limitations, but it will definitely give you a tiny taste of the sim.
