Gamespot's SH4 Review

Zero Niner · 03-27-07, 01:19 AM

Gamespot gave SH4 a score of 8.3/10

The Good: Highly scalable gameplay that lets you be a submariner in the Pacific; single-player career mode offers tons of challenging and changing gameplay; multiplayer support lets you team up with others or play as the escort; excellent production values make it seem as if you're really at sea.

The Bad: Stability issues and other bugs, though an initial patch has addressed some of these issues; artificial intelligence is a bit uneven.

I feel sorry for the Yamato. Every skipper under the sun has to slug a few torpedoes into her gut.

It's her own fault, you just look at her and think "I've *GOT* to have a pop at that!"

I have istalled the game on 23 03 2007........

I have played some scenarios.............

I have disistalled the game on 25 03 2007.......

For me the correct name of the game is:
SILENT HUNTER IV: BUGS OF THE PACIFIC.............

Where is Mister Florin Boitor ?

The game is fully playable and the best submarine simulator until this date.
Any new game has bugs and get patched nothing new there.

We can make a poll ! asking who wants the game now or in 2 months time ? Guess what i know the answer allready :hmm:

Nice to see that the reviews are uniformly good. Maybe by the time the casual gamers are buying it some of the bugs will be fixed. I'm optimistic.

While I am still playing SH4 for the time being..I would vote to wait the 2 months for a finished version instead of the buggy version we have now. I'd rather continue to get the interest on my $$ in the bank rather than give it to UBI to get interest on while they finish the product.

I respectfully disagree. IMHO SH3+GWX is the best submarine simulator to date. By what criteria are you judging SH4 as best?

The sonar work well? No

The stopwatch work well? No

For me the game is fully playable yes. but vith the fantasy.:rotfl: .... the best simulation of submarine warfare is Silent Hunter 3.
