Not perfect, but clearly superb, as good as any "eye candy is not the most important part of a subsim" guy would wish for. (the FPS monolith will soon be a bad memory )

But 100% means perfect for all normal human beings...

Think of it like this:

If you wrote a book or an essay, or a computer game,
and people thought, this is good
or this is great
or this is really superb, better than anything before it,
it still would never be perfect
unless it cured cancer and banished red triangles everywhere.

But according to maths 10/10 means 100%
Consider a 5 star game, or 5 star hotel, there are lots of 5 star hotels,
5/5 is 100% too.
But they are not perfect, they don't have Swedish hookers in every room.

Good topic for debate
cheers!

I agree 100% with this assessment of the graphics. They are breathtaking if you happen to look at the right moment. PPF put a superb fresh face on this gaming experience IMHO. If you look closely at the small details over the larger picture, yes, the graphics and representation is superb.


Great review and plainly written by someone who took the time spending a lot of time playing and pouring over what SH4 has to offer as a submarine simulation.
