Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific (PC Games, 2007)

the U.S. or regular version of the new SH4 submarine game for PC's is still
pretty expensive, from 40 to 50 dollars on average. some foreign versions
are available for very much less, like this one, from this particular seller.
I got it to start game-play, with intention of getting the U.S. version later
on. it is worth it. BUT, know what you are getting.

the game sets up OK, and does run fine, on basic or better PC requirements for
all versions of the game. but, this is the Russian version of SH4, with option
to setup and run in english. it is version 1.0, the first one. it does NOT
patch to versions 1.01 to 1.03, (the three patch updates put out by the game
maker, ubisoft). and there are alot of basic bugs to the first version. for
best results, the patches are best for long run game play. but you won't get
them to set up with this version of SH4.
also, there are many neat MODS, game modifications, put out by folks who like
to customize things about PC games, inclusing SH4. neat changes and improve-
ments to the basic game. this Russian version will NOT take the Mods out now.
be advised of that.
so, to just get the basic game, Silent Hunter 4, with bugs, etc, go for this
version. it is still fun. but it is not the best available. I will wait for
the market price to come down even further, for a new, un-opened DVD U.S.
version.
