With all the trials early on, I have to say this is my first ride on a fairly new release. And I have to add that it has been a lot of fun, in part because of the arrows that pioneers tend to attract. I have learned more about WWII submarines from SH3 and SH4 than from all the books I have accumulated over the years. I have gained a new appreciation for the men who did it for real.
Once I got over the pitbull copy protection schemes (I've grown a true dislike for Sony Corp, and will avoid their products) I've discovered a simulation which will keep me busy for at least a year. Let's see, $50 / 365 days is 13.7¢ per day, a little less than gas for my car or going to a movie or subscribing to a newspaper or drinking one cup of coffee a day or eating lunch....
Thanks Ubi!
