#5's a graphical tour de force, but, in this version, even LESS effort has been put into providing documentation on just how to play and enjoy this strategic simulation! Gone are the intuitive key assignments of the past! Example: want to go to, "Periscope Depth?" Don't hit the letter, "P" as you did previously! Need to dive to avoid the enemy? Better MANUALLY clear the bridge first. Want to access ladders? Better be in the proper position to go up or down (which isn't as easy as it sounds! If one isn't RIGHT in front of the ladder and if one's eyes are looking just a LITTLE up...) Point here is that NONE of the above is covered in the spotty online Manual that's included. Torpedo targetting, too, has been changed - and not for the better. OTHER BIG, BIG, BIG PROBLEM!!! YOU CAN'T PLAY THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE AN UNINTERRUPTED INTERNET CONNECTION! That's right! The game won't run unless a connection has been made, and sustained to Ubisoft!Read full review
SH5 is the best sub sim I have ever know. Just two problems with it: It requires a last generation PC and a very powerful video card to be able to run it with no problems. Of course, this is very clearly described on the game box. The second problem is the awful quality of the manual. It almost doesn't describe the commands at all, and the only way to get the complete one is buying the "Gold Edition". As the game isn't intuitive at all, this is a very serious problem to get the best of it.
The latest version of the Silent Hunter series from Ubisoft War Games. A classic game for those who like submarine warfare. Great details and action in this game. Outstanding graphics. Very challenging. Recommended for teen and older. Includes a special DVD documentary explaining the role of the German submarine service during WWII. Requires an internet connection to play through a UPlay account. Free sign-up.. Silent Hunter 5 takes players behind the periscope of a German Type VII U-boat to take on the Allied Forces in battles across the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Players command the U-boat after the first captain, Rahn, departs for another submarine. They assume the role of the next submarine captain from a first-person view in a campaign that spans 1939-1943..

Friend convinced me to try and get this game. Glad they did. The graphics for this game are excellent. Recommend good video, lots of ram and a fast CPU for best game play. Easy to setup though it takes a bit of time. Learning the game is a bit of a challenge, at least it is for me. LAN play is great. Syncing with UBI server can be a bit slow, though somewhat expected.
This game is dificult to navigate to player and hard to move from options to get character to choose command, over all a great game story line and graphics are fantastic. havent tried online yet because too hard to complete 1st player mode. web page hasnt any updates to fix the bugs in this game and other series games have some that work for them. waiting to fix the bugs before a complete review of game
