S.C.S. – Dangerous Waters Page 15

Conclusion

Dangerous Waters is my first foray into modern naval warfare and it has been a pleasant one. Sonalysts have captured the feel of commanding a vessel whilst still allowing access to the various stations.

The game play is great, exciting and tense. The implementation of the battle field through the Navigation station is superb, something WWII simmers have been after for years. However, Dangerous Waters comes across as having been unfinished with perhaps the game engine coming up a little short for what is expected in today’s games. I hope that it is mostly unfinished, as that can be addressed through patches.

Should the various AI issues be addressed quickly, even if the shortcomings of the sailing and damage model are not fully addressed, I feel that Sonalysts and Battlefront will have a winner in Dangerous Waters. At the moment I feel that there are too many rough edges in among many polished ones, and for most part, the rough edges detract from the overall game.
