Visuals are excellent. The gameplay is great when the game runs, but the game doesn't run for very long. I'm using the latest patch, 1.3, and this game is still the most buggy piece of software that I've ever encountered. The game will require you to invest a lot of time in navigating to your target patrol area, and hunting your prey. The rewards are few, as I've encountered entire enemy task forces that will suddenly disappear into thin air, after having painstakingly positioned myself for a strike. It's just an incredible waste of time to have all of that effort wasted. I put the game away, weeks ago, but stumbled upon the fact that there was a new patch. I installed the latest patch, and my latest session lasted 45 minutes, before a crash-to-desktop ruined a strike against a Japanese task force. I can't sell this thing, knowing that I'll be wasting someone elses time.
