Silent Hunter 5 has promise, but this buggy and unstable game needs to be sent back to the drydock for some serious refitting.

Silent Hunter III will be geared toward both veteran submarine fans and newcomers to the genre. For the newcomer, the game has various settings that eliminate or minimize the learning curve.

Silent Hunter® 5 key features: • VIEW AS A CAPTAIN: Walk through highly detailed submarines in the new first-person view and access every part of your U-boat.

Silent Hunter III offered a much more open-ended campaign than we saw in Silent Hunter II, and Wolves of the Pacific continues this trend.
