My almost 10-year-old grandson loves this game. When he saw that the Titanic was one of the ships included in the game, it has become his favorite. And I haven't heard any complaints from him about problems with it hanging up the system. One of the better games that we've purchased for him. Two thumbs up.

Not a top quality program. The graphics are not top level, and the gameplay gets stale very quickly. It crashed to desktop, and by the time that happened I had pretty much lost my interest in it.

If you work in the maritime industry and enjoy computer games that does not involve killing people I think this is a very enjoyable game. I think anyone that understands the Rules of The Road, wind, tides and basic navigation will get much more enjoyment from this game. This game puts you at the helm of small work boats and large ships in a harbour setting and lets you test your pilot skills. A fast computer with good graphics card is a must. For all the engineers currently sailing who constantly complain that the deck dept is useless, this is the game for you.

Good, but not great.

This game has realistic naval and vessel controls according to the proper vessel and the year of construction, but it tends to be slower and there aren't as many options as I had hoped. The only game that has met my match was a PC game I ordered through the internet last year called Virtual Sailor 7.0. Unfortunately I also have a new computer too, because that game corrupted my PC. The weather, vessel and other functions on that game were fantastic. Nothing has come close to it.

real good game

Not quite what I had expected. I ordered the game after reading about it on the Auran website and other places, thinking it would be more like TRS 2006, Railroad Tycoon or some other game in which you picked up cargo, passengers, etc., and delivered these/them to some destination elsewhere. I was surprised when I found that about all you really do is manuver your ship from one point to the other. To me the game was no fun at all and a big flop. Unlike Trainz and other games or sims, there isn't that much scenery, just the outskirts of cities as seen from dockside and baywise. This game might get raves from some and, in a few years might be a lot better but for now it definately isnot for me.

The boats in this game are difficult to control. The graphics are well done, though.

Beware spyware

The worst simulator I have ever used.
It is loaded with serious spyware. Run "Ad-aware" etc asap!
I have "Train simulator". It's great! I am a commercial pilot, I have MS Flight Sim 2004" It is also great.
Yeah, you can drive a big boat. You have NO data. Speed, heading, optional views of your 300' boat, all not evailable. You don't know whether you are in forward, reverse, or nutral. Untied from the dock? How about your distance from Other ships? I could handle this, IF I knew where I was going? Is there other trafic? How fast am I going? How deep is the water?
The screen is blury, and in the same quality as the (very) old DOS games.
I've only used it once, But at the least, it is very user unfreindly.
Don't waist your money at this time.

Lots of Fun

I actually bought this game for my live-in boyfriend. He loves boating and computers so this game seemed like a perfect Christmas gift. He installed it right away and has played it many times since the holiday. There are many boats/ships to navigate including the Titanic. While I haven't actually played the game myself, I have watched it and seen how much fun it can be.
