1UP SH4 game review by Jeff Lackey

[Onkel Neal]

Good review, Jeff, especially the opening Will you have a print review (Games for Windows) as well? I want to get a copy of the mag when it comes out.

Hardcore simulation fanatics are their own worst enemy: They bemoan the lack of simulations available, and then -- when a publisher invests the money to develop one -- declare the game unworthy of the two cents of polycarbonate on the disc due to its lack of realism. "How could the developers call this a 'simulation' when the altimeter dial is clearly 0.2 centimeters larger than the real thing? It's unplayable!" The publisher sighs, fires the development team, and makes sure its next game is another first-person shooter. Those irate fans should bite their tongues, though: Wolves of the Pacific (fourth in the Silent Hunter submarine sim franchise) will make all but the most jaded undersea warfare enthusiasts happy.
