    Great game does get boring after a time but wourth playing. Remember every simulator is supposed to be real so it does take some time to go some where.They really should let you drive around the world like flight simulator.

    What might initially seem like a real prospective borefest actually turns into a kind of innocent, compelling and surprisingly gratifying experience.
  2. Ship Simulator 2006 doesn't have the feature-set to compete with sims like MSFS and MSTS, but it's a solid start. The developers are already talking about the next instalment and making encouraging noises about wave modelling, long voyages, and multiplayer (not included at present). Unless you've got salt in your blood, I'd recommend sitting on the dock of the bay until SS2007 arrives.

    As an introduction into the world of shipping and sailing it's not a bad effort, but as an in-depth and richly detailed simulator, it's something better left alone until Ship Simulator 2007 comes along and adds the much needed features that are sorely lacking here.
