Hello Snappy here,
I recently purchased PT Boats via there D/L site. After the install I was all set to make headway and dive into a graphics rich simulation that promised to be cutting edge. Ihave to say I was disappointed.
First, the game is not a first person simulation as you would expect I.E, Wolves of the Pacific. Rather an arcade style "place your quarter in the machine" type game. No rich enviroment ..no in depth game play...no eye candy even though it makes use of dx10.. No historical significance as well as having lack luster ambient sound. Oh yeah and the voices in the game,well you judge for yourself. This works best as a strategy game in the look down view like command and conquer. You can control your PT boats guns in first person, for the rare air battle or torpedo attack.The other ships you can control in a view which is that of an aim site only. There is know entering stations such as a wheel house, gun turret, deck area,and so on. I find that the game repeats itself. Protect the ships,destroy the ship,keep the transport safe. The GUI is at best awkward to utilize. This is clearly the fault of a company willing to take advance payments and not willing to advance on thier promises. Again until some talented Modder or other team get a hold of this title it should be placed on the back burner until they can get themselves out of the 90"s with the platform they used. This whole DX10-11 thing also better get its "arse" in gear. I am getting very tired of hearing the tales of wow and no one delivering. I guess us PC gamers are falling by the wayside. Its much more profitable for these guys to make xbox games so you can buy the software and then pay 15 a month to use it. Oh yeah I dont want to even get into the fact that they dont even host servers to use. You have to do it yourself. Basically "In my opinion" they invested as little as possible and gave you a " Game" ... Lemmings could be more entertaining!!!
