Ship Simulator 2006 (PC CD)

This game lets you control 8 different boats/ ships in various scenarios and sceneries. The scenarios start easily enough- things like navigating ciruits using a harbor patrol boat, and simple cargo runs. Later scenarios will see you trying to guide the Titanic into Rotterdam harbour! All of the scenarios are challenging, and when you have beat one, it records your time, so you can always come back to try and beat it. Graphically, Ship Simulator is gorgeus. From the harbours of Hamburg and Rotterdam, to carribean islands, all are in spectacular detail, as are the water textures, and the ships themselves. Overall the is a very addictive and enjoyable game. Recommended to anyone.

I have no interest in this item at all, perhaps there is someone else on Amazon with a similar name, which I hope there is not as I thought we were all individual, I am very surprised that I am getting all these strange things appearing on my page etc. I wish they would stop

The definition of a simulation is that it is a representaion of something real, in a simulated environment. Every aspect is supposed to be realistic, so that you could effectively plan out a scenario and see what might happen.Ship Simulator 2006 has "realistic" graphics, every drop of water reflective, every wave convincing. Its controls are also "realistic" Throttle Left with the rudder right and your effectively straffing as you should be.If i fly my Spitfire from Flight simulator into the ground it detonated into a hundred peice, Sail my ship in ship simulator into a speeding cargo ship and WHAT THE HELL!, im being pushed along upturned, still fully capable of moving the rudder and throttle back and forth. "realistically" i'd be diving overboard and watching my boat fly apart and the cargo ship barely be affected. Instead the cargo boat wants to do a 180 degree spin, only to hit the bank at flank spped, but its ok, he just bounces back unaffected, and goes on his way undettered by these miricles.In-depth YES, Good looking, YES. Fun, NO. Funny, YES, BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY!

Good attempt at a sea simulator. Alas, my enthusiasm was short lived. Need a high spec machine to get the best from it. Water is always calm - no big waves! Unless you are an AVID sim fan - I would give it a miss - I have a hunch something better will come along (to those who wait!)

This game is good as it is not like any other simulator. You have different views of the boat and you can drive lots of different vessels with different driving styles. The graphics are very good! I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it.

This is simply the best ship simulation around.The graphics will make less powerful computers grunt a bit though, but you can edit the amount of detail in the set up menu.I strongly recommend you visit the lighthouse site to obtain the FREE patches that improve the simulation no end, and then buy the Add-On.

Not good graphics

After you've completed the tasks it becomes boring. Each mission is set in 'tracks' so you can't do your own thing. I bought this as I refuse to be forced into joining Steam which has hijacked the gaming world.
