Jane's Combat Simulations: 688(I) Hunter/Killer

The Good
I especially enjoy its simplicity. I also own Sub Command and Dangerous Waters and although these two submarine simulations are top notch graphics wise, the player interface requires a bit more work.

The Bad
At first I did not like that it only allowed for the controlling/commanding of one type of sub. Both Sub Command and Dangerous Waters have changed that but not in the way that I had imagined. Now the playing field isn't so 'level' with missile-assisted torpedoes, all-seeing uuv's, ultra-sensitive sonar, etc., etc.

In 688(I) the playing field is level and each player lives, or dies, by their own skill.

The Bottom Line
It has a steep learning curve and games/hunts will very likely lasts longer than most would like but if you're the type that enjoys a long tedious hunt then Jane's 688(I) is for you. Impatience will certainly get you killed in this game and for the most part, patience is rewarded with a sunken enemy sub.
