Whilst it's not been great in the past, the water in the forthcoming certainly looks an improvement over previous incarnations. Perhaps the best water rendering is that which we have lost from PT-Boats Knights of the Sea as this shows, sadly the game took a bit of a change of direction and the water effects were reduced from the level shown. Hopefully the forthcoming Battlefront release of the game will reinstate some of the physics and effects that had us all drooling about three years ago back into the game.

Over on Gametrailers.com user Huss2215 has created an interesting video report featuring what he considers the the top 20 water graphics in today's games.

Of course if you have a few thousand bucks to hand you could always buy a professional level ship simulator
