Good for about an hour, boring after that!
If you think its anything like Flight Simulator except with ships on water, you'd be wrong. On Flight Simulator you can fly continuously around the world without interruption. On Ship Simulator you have what they call an environment which is an area up to 20 km's. After that you get a message pop up telling you you are at the end of the environment and have to select another one to sail in. There also isn't very many environments to choose from, there would be between 6 - 8 environments to choose from.
The graphic's are alright for instance the sea's pretty good & ship exterior's, but the ship's interior's are generally cartoon-ish, plain bright colours no shading & the edges are rough & moving.
Controls are pretty basic, no rocket science there. Engine on/off, steering wheel, throttle, horn, side thrusters, that's about it.
All in all the game is ok, but you wouldn't want to pay any more than about $10 for it. But they seem to think that its worth about $60 (on special) which is what I paid for it and am quite disappointed.
Lets just say it virtually never gets used & when it does its not for long!
