Shells of Fury!


From the review by the highly esteemed Mr. Horsa:

Gamers scream for realism, but sales are driven by graphics. In that respect SOF will disappoint. It’s no SH3/4. In fact it’s so reminiscent of their predecessor SH2, that there were some (unfounded) suggestions that it had used the same game engine. On first sight the sea looks awful, but like a lot of these things you soon get used to its own peculiar atmosphere and I have to say I found myself feeling this really was the North Sea or the Atlantic. The dark dank misty atmosphere is well done, and there is a good representation of fog banks and bow spray (albeit done fairly crudely). Personally I don’t believe that raw graphic power always equates to better atmosphere. Sometimes graphic representation can be too literal and can simply serve to remind you that it is a computer simulation – something I feel with SH3/4 from time to time. With SOF you feel you are crashing about in a lot of unfriendly wetness even if it sometimes has a comic book feel to it.

How about that? 38 Mystery Subsims and still no repeats. And there won't be any repeats until after MS#50.... so that should help you narrow down the next 12. Process of elimination, and all. Possibly some intuitiveness, and even some savvy.

Enough dawdling! Mystery Subsim #39 is just over the horizon!
