I'm actually reviewing this for a magazine, Computer Gaming World (now known as "Games for Windows" magazine.) Don't read anything into my comment on "to be fair" - I've just started playing it this weekend, and I'm a huge Silent Hunter fan (all the way back to Sid Meier's original SH!) Hopefully they dev leader will send me a pdf manual in the next couple of days (it's very odd to not get a pdf manual with the review disc) - I sent the project lead an email. I was just trying to get some time in with the game this weekend.
It is indeed a beautiful game, and so far feels like it has the potential to be a nice upgrade to the SH3 system. I just need to make sure that I am fair and don't knock it for something that I just don't thoroughly understand because I don't have the manual (I played the heck out of SH3 and just uninstalled it this weekend when I installed SH4, but there are some areas with some apparently significant differences.)
Cheers - Jeff
