Considering we are talking about the campaign that is possibly one of the gameвЂ™s biggest falls, there is just no reason to want to do it. In those long periods of time where input wasnвЂ™t needed I found myself checking emails, reading a book, and generally doing things outside of the game as there is nothing there to hold the players attention.

At times it honestly feels like a post-apocalyptic ship simulator. Now IвЂ™m not saying a ship simulator needs a working casino or something but there are no passengers, no interactive objects no nothing just you and a bloody big empty boat. So what is a sea captain to do on a cruise liner when there is no need piloting for a while? Well take a walk around the ship sounds like a good start, but unfortunately is ultimately rather pointless as there is nothing to do on said ship.

Being a cruise captain is hard work right? Wrong again! Piloting these huge liners is as simple as pie and that gives you a lot of free time as they have the slowest speeds recorded on earth. Right, now that campaign, I briefly mentioned earlier that there are a few options but for this review I took a look at being a tourist cruise pilot to see just how it plays out. However there were many moments where the water seemed to have graphical glitches that I felt the game could have certainly done without considering itвЂ™s all about being in the open waters. Some of the scenes can look nice but overall when it comes to simulation there is really more of a focus on the realism rather than the shiny textures. So who can run Ship Simulator Extreme? Well I believe just about anybody can as this game doesnвЂ™t have and particularly wow moments when it comes to graphics.

Full speed ahead is really the only command youвЂ™ll ever need. It is also worth mentioning that this is still the same tactic for weather you are in calm tides or stormy waters. Having tried a few of the boats from massive cruise liners through to the small high powered dinghies I found the controls to operate these boats is exactly the same, every boat I tried was I was able to pilot easily just by whacking the acceleration to the max and using the steering with no further input required now that certainly doesnвЂ™t feel like a simulator let alone an extreme one. Now in all honesty it feels about right for a simulator to have that depth so thatвЂ™s fine, but you would only expect the same from the gameplay and yet somehow sadly the gameplay simply doesnвЂ™t feel anything like simulation. You go through in depth date, time, weather and even water temperature options before we are finally given the chance to launch into the game. First we have to navigate four option menus to set the scene. So free roaming? ThatвЂ™s the one where I can pick a place a boat and sail, right? Wrong. I think we will kick off with free roaming and come back to the campaign later. A single mission mode and last but not least a Multiplayer mode (I found no one that wanted to test that with me strangely). We have a free roaming mode, the вЂpick a boat and goвЂ™ affair.

We have a campaign mode consisting of different types of sailing careers from cruise liner captains to a mode devised by the Dutch Pilot Organisation as the ultimate extreme test.

So we will start off with the game modes available. Unfortunately thatвЂ™s about all you need to know, but I have a word target to meet and IвЂ™m sure you want me to back up my bold statement so letвЂ™s look a little deeper and IвЂ™ll justify my beginning statement along the way. Ship Simulator Extreme is a game void of all entertainment, it has the personality of a cupboard and is about as extreme as a damp towel. However entertainment is still the main goal and that brings me neatly onto my issue with Ship Simulator Extreme. I believe in most cases that the more realistic the better the experience. I love the feeling of actually putting myself in the same situations with the same complications faced by those who do said chosen activity in reality. Simulation is always something IвЂ™ve been very much for.
