MY REVIEW


Well this is not the usual kind of game I play but I figured I would try this game anyways because you just never know .

I played this game for an hour and I already got stuck in the game and  I had issues controlling the boat. I am not a big fan of games that you use the keyboard to control and  I think this game would have been better with a game controller instead of using the keyboard.

The graphics are pretty good. The sound though is pretty good with realistic sounds.

If you are into these kind of simulation games you might like it but for me it wasn't my cup of tea.
