Grey Hound the game. Like, pretty much, minus Tom Hanks. Big fail there, there really should have got him instead of the great value brand Hanks we get. Joking obviously, but seriously this game is awesome. I bought it when it first game out and was totally overwhelmed with the simulation aspects and didnt play it for a good while. Im no stranger to simulators, but sea stuff is something my brain cant handle. Well, I came back to the game and found that the accessibility has shot through the roof. If you want the hardcore simulation aspect, you want to manually run each station yourself? Cool, you can do that. Buuuuut, if you want some very "lite sim" playing style, thats there too! If youve been eye balling this game but have been turned off by the simulation aspect, never fear, you dont have to do any of that if you dont want to. The game can be as simple as setting speed, heading, and rudder degrees with the click of a mouse. This is great because overtime youll peak in on each station to see what they do and youll really start to grasp the bigger picture, which will lead to you playing footsie with the simulation aspect. *Mr Bean wink*

The atmosphere is top notch. Like I said, its Grey Hound the game. Getting to see each of the stations at work, all of the commands and radio/intercom chatter, the sounds, and most of all the intense battles and anxiety of trying to get that Uboat before he sends more lend lease to the bottom is all there.

So if youve felt turned away by hardcore simulation stuff, you dont have to worry about any of that if you dont want to. The game is incredibly accessible. Even my 70 year old dad plays the living s**t out of this. If he can, you have no excuses. Do it.
