Good but not perfect. I cannot give an objective "out of ten" rating yet due to limited experience with it so far, but it's very promising. I have a hunch that out of the box, it's already a much better game than III and IV were. It has good sea legs and frankly the ommissions and glitches so far that I've run into have been anything but show-stoppers, just minor irritations.
You have to keep in mind what it's going for though. At this moment, an ultra-accurate simulation of the Atlantic war it is certainly NOT. But that's not what it's going for. It's not trying to be a game-ification of Clay Blair's U-boat War, it's trying to be Das Boot. And so far it's doing a good job of that.
