Advantages: Inreased realism, enjoyability, units Disadvantages: Slower computers have trouble running larger scenarios

I recommend anyone with Fleet Command uses this add-on, as it will certainly make the game more interesting (a slight understatement).
Advantages: engrossing Disadvantages: Bad graphics
I bought this game expecting to find it totally easy. No such luck. This game is a real naval strategy game. It's very hard - after nearly 6 months of playing almost constantly I still haven't completed it.
This game is let down by poor graphics but is superb in terms of detail. I've yet to find another game which comes close to the level of detail on it's chosen subject matter.
The missions are difficult and require considerable patience to complete.

Advantages: Good idea Disadvantages: Too slow, limited gameplay, poor graphics, boring
Well, I bought this 'game's with high hopes. The box looked nice, the description of the gameplay was good and the graphics looked superb. Oh how little I knew! This is not really a game I would recommend for too many people. I would say it is aimed at naval buffs and the odd master strategist. Basically, this is C&C based at sea, without the good graphics or gameplay and slower than a really slow thing with a wheel-clamp on. The game idea is good, ... ...more exciting would have been nice. The game runs at real-time only and there is no way of speeding it up. You display involves a 3D picture of the vessel or plane you are controlling and a very basic map showing ships, planes and missiles. The missions are difficult - it seems that they forgot to put an easy option into the game and it is very difficult to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. Personally, I would say steer well clear, ...
