What if they held a war and no one read the manual?

What Wolves of the Pacific lacks in explanation and polish it makes up for in tense, exciting ship-to-sub combat, tons of replayability, and loads of depth.  Even if you grew weary of the game’s dynamic campaign mode, you’d still have 10 fast-playing Quick Missions and 5 longer War Patrols to battle through, not to mention the Co-op or Adversarial modes in 4 or 8-player Online or LAN action, respectively. Though it’s hardly a refined gem, Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific is strangely similar to those hard-bit sailors of the US Pacific Fleet - rough, ready to scrap and well-trained for battle - you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better representative of the ‘silent service’ to date.

You'll love
  • Torpedo explosions
  • Cat & Mousing with ships
  • The dynamic campaign
You'll hate
  • Not having a better manual
  • Diving too deeply (crunch)
  • The lack of anti-aliasing
