Polak,
it's not a game, really, don't expect that kind of round and polished package you got used to when buying sims or games. This does not mean you must be a specialised insider to use it, fans of SB1 surely will have a lot of fun with it. But the interface is not tailored for the taste of the gaming public, but for the needs of the military. It's essentially the same piece of software.

This also explains the higher price. On the other hand I have heared and seen infantry simulators with totally inferior interfaces and bad graphic presentation that costed up top several hundred dollars. Seen that way, SBP with it's expected limited sales numbers comes at a smile price.

several people in the DW forum have claimed in the past they bought TWO copies of it (59 dollars or so) to help develpement. The price of 2 DWs equals that of 1 SBP.

The price for 1 SBP equals that of 2.5 or 3 crap games (39-49 Euros per piece) from the shelves that you curse about and send them into the bin soon after. SBP, if you are interested in the mastter, will please you not for months, but years.

If you want a gaming package with easier interface and a design with the gaming market in mind, then DO NOT buy this one. Even the publisher himself recommends exactly this.
