  1. Forget this Killing Tide (you can, in fact, die by boredom) and look for a more exciting war sim (Battlestation should do the trick).
  2. Naval Assault – The killing tide should have been an arcade game. It would have been a good advice to 505 Games to do so. But they decided to release it as a full-price game. But for this, it is too simple and its gameplay is too stupid.

    If Naval Assault had been a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade title, it would have been easy to forgive a lot of its shortcomings. Unfortunately, it's not; it looks like a last-gen game, with some of the worst sound design and music I've seen in a retail release, no mid-mission checkpoints, and most importantly, not much to hold one's interest for more than a few fleeting moments.

    Truly "sub"-standard. [Aug 2010, p.105]

    A disappointment all around. Fans of the genre will scoff at the visuals and simplicity, while more casual players will grow bored of its tedious missions and slow-paced gameplay.
  7. This would have been a shoddy effort as an Xbox Live Arcade title, but seeing it on a store shelf is less of a salute to the military's naval forces, and more of a slap in their faces.

    Pretty simple yet kinda frustrating...but fun to sink ships and shoot down planes. There are very few submarine games out there...It's morePretty simple yet kinda frustrating...but fun to sink ships and shoot down planes. There are very few submarine games out there...It's more for casual gamers. Worth the 5 bucks I paid for it. Expand
