    I was interested in this game subject since I've played Ports of Calls for long, but there's nothing more than filling your ship with containers, undock, than fast forward time since the port of destination is reached, dock. Buy more ships, buy bigger ships, repeat. No strategy at all: the only dynamic prices are those of fuel, no rival companies, no multiplayer, no tankers, no ferriesI was interested in this game subject since I've played Ports of Calls for long, but there's nothing more than filling your ship with containers, undock, than fast forward time since the port of destination is reached, dock. Buy more ships, buy bigger ships, repeat. No strategy at all: the only dynamic prices are those of fuel, no rival companies, no multiplayer, no tankers, no ferries and definitively lack of anything related to seaports: some deep managing features would have been the the only reason to play more than a few hours.

    It has exactly the same features of the original Ports of Call, I mean the 1987 Amiga version. In 2014 is not enough. I'm sorry.    … Expand

    The music is monotonous, the gameplay is varied enough, but the bloody customs on the free game mode....it just drives me **** mad.
    Also, the game is too complicated. Unlike EIC, there's no automated functions except for assisted docking. Kind of not my cup of tea.
    Needs a zoom function on the map for sure. I hope the second one is going to be better than this one.

    A game that came out of nowhere and made me play it ‘just 5 more minutes’ for long hours. [13/2014, p.66]

    This is a game with a very unique subject and fun contracts, but you do not really get to control the ship yourself and the choices you make have too little influence.

    It's a sold simulation if you like the genre but with several bugs and unnecessary mini games.
