This game does so much right, and a little wrong.
The graphics are amazing...I especially like the HUD. All the buttons a treated graphically (no words/explanation) and are pretty intuitive. The game-play is also great..an improvement on the previous franchise hits.
I just have two main gripes with this game:
The loading times are way too long. I have a pretty decent computer and it still takes a loooong time to load battles. There should be an option to cut out the cinematics, if that would cut down the loading time. No one watches them anyways after they've seen them once.
The other criticism is that the navy battles stink. There's very little strategy involved in them. You basically select your boats and click on their boats and wait for the outcome.
Other than that, great game. I've really enjoyed it.
