 Slow slow slow slow August 25, 2010

I installed this on a Dell Dimension 2400 with 2GB of RAM and a Ge Force 6200 Video card. OK it's not the card they call for. All I could see is neat looking rain and water. It barely responded to any controls. I gave up. I will try on another PC.
I only suggest you'd better have exactly what they call for or better in a video card.

I love this simulator it is a lot of fun controlling ships and boats. I only wish the color was better, because all the water is usually grey. But, other than that you will have a great time if you love ships.

There are at least 5 missions that cannot be completed without joining the forum, then the Creator's Forum, and a lot of research, downloading, etc. 4 of these defective missions were built by "Bottman"...someone that should definitely find another occupation.
BUT...do not waste your time because the missions are incredibly boring and far from challenging. The ones they label as "Hard" are as easy as those labeled "Easy". My 6-year granddaughter could do most of them after 15 minutes of instruction.
Do not buy this product. The GFX are circa 2003, the user interface far from intuitive, and the support abysmal. It's a waste of money & time.
Too bad. Ship.sim 2006 was actually better....AND all the missions worked. Vstep took one giant step backward.
 it's awesome!!!!! September 26, 2009

I did not get this product from amazon but I did get it from a guy his web site is flightsim pilot shop it's a whole lot ceaper it's only like 15$. anyway, it's relly cool becuse it has working bow and stern thrusters. I love to use the cabin crusiers as ramps. also annother fun thingh to do is to use the jet ski in new york harbor and crash into a boat and get the jet ski trapped while the other boat is moving. It says that the sim. will work with a joy sitck but it dosen't. overall, it's relly,relly, fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
