First of all good luck trying to find this game. There are very few games that have good resale value for the PS2 but this one is off the charts. I bought a copy the first day it came out and I still play it from time to time. It is still playable a few years after it came out and very few games can have this type of stanima. Is the game perfect? HECK NO! Is the game ground breaking? Hell yeah! I generally buy any WWII game that is worth playing and this may be my favorite. First of all you get to experience WWII via naval warfare and that in itself is the reason for getting this game. There is nothing like it around! The graffics are not the best by any means but the gameplay is just flat out fun! It can be very difficult to control your fleet but WHO CARES....that is how fun this game can be. You get to pick who you want to play as....USA, GERMANY, GB and JAPAN. Each has its own challenges and benefits. You build your fleets and even name commanders to your ships. I have been dying for a new installment from KOEI but that has not been the case since they have been too busy putting out crap like warship gunners. I cannot say enough about this game.....just tooo much fun!
