Ship Simulator 2008

Information:
If the mood takes you, there are storylines like these to pursue in Extremes, all of which are based upon real events. So, while captaining the Titanic is just the tip of the iceberg (so to speak), you'll take various vessels to emergency hotspots, extinguishing oil rig fires, evacuating an island under threat from a natural disaster or perhaps locating and photographing a top secret facility, escaping unseen.

All of the sailing data and the events in the game are taken from actual sailor's accounts, so while the story campaigns may seem a little overly dramatic, they apparently did happen. Action in a normally stuffy simulator? Colour us intrigued.

Featuring Coastguard cutters, hovercraft, mammoth tankers, cruise liners, tugboats, cargo vessels and even nippy powerboats, you could never accuse Ship Sim Extremes of not striving to be definitive, especially with the inclusion of a ship editor where you can tinker with the game's many seagoing vessels. “What fun is there in ships?” Ship Sim Extreme's producer poses the question during the game's presentation at this year's Paradox Interactive showcase in Stockholm. Not much, you might say. “So, you think a captain's life is easy?” comes the reply. Erm, almost definitely not.

Ship Simulator Extremes aims to put you straight into the skipper's hat of a ship's captain, enabling you to not only take charge of a vessel, but by granting you the freedom to leave the helm to walk around and explore the ship to check out every dial, rivet and bulkhead. You can even man the water cannons, launch lifeboats and interact with the crew and your surroundings.

Visuals have been considerably enhanced since Ship Sim 08, utilising PixelShader 3.0 and advanced bump mapping to really bring each vessel to startling life. Then there's the new dynamic ocean system, which creates the most watery looking water yet seen in a Ship Sim title.

Famous harbours in exotic locations such as Dover, Calais, Sydney, New York, Bora Bora and Antarctica add authenticity and interest to the sailing experience, but it's the extremes of the title that really add the spice to this particular Ship Sim.

Realistic weather systems and accompanying effects have a significant impact on the level of challenge as you sail your craft through treacherous waters in an effort to reach your objective.
