Especially if the idea of a ship simulator still appeals to you.
If you already bought Extremes, but cannot enjoy the game for the same reasons I can't-or for other reasons, I would still suggest buying Ship Sim 2008.
You will have a much smoother experience. Instead go to the developers website and purchase Ship Simulator 2008 CE instead. Honestly, if you haven't bought this yet and are thinking about it-don't. especially the Esperanza (my favorite ship!!) and a few of the other ships, but what fun is a game that you cannot enjoy? Another thing I love about Ship Sim 2008 is there are tons of really well made single missions, some of which are incredibly challenging and time consuming. I went back to playing Ship Sim 2008 and I am way more happy with it. I have a decent gaming laptop, and every time I play in my favorite location (Antarctica), the FPS works perfectly fine for about 5 minutes, then drops immensely rendering the game unplayable. The graphics are a small improvement over ShipSim2008, with maybe just a bit more emphasis put on the ships themselves, and even more on the water effects. A few of the key features of the game that makes it so interesting include its impressive 3D graphics, easy to operate interface, comprehensive list of instructions, user-friendly map, quick start up and end game systems and also it has a unique multiplayer mode which makes the game even more exciting.If you wasted money on this title, but still love the idea a ship simulation game (and if you actually enjoy this type of game), I would highly recommend buying the older Ship Simulator 2008.Īs a long time player of Ship Simulator 2008, I was extremey disappointed with Ship Simulator Extremes. The Ship Simulator also boasts of a comprehensive tutorial system, which helps players master the various procedures and strategies used in the game. As for the captains, you can select from the Aegis cruiser, which is one of the best designed ships in the series, or the Farside, which is one of the first models to use the holographic mapping system. However, when it comes to transporting cargo ships, you have to select the Celebrity or the Crystal Star class. It is equipped with several advanced systems which make the whole operation of shipping even easier and more effective, with its large passenger space and advanced facilities as well as a spacious deck for easy boarding and egress. For example, if you want to transport a passenger ship, you can select the Orient Express.
Each ship in this series has been designed based on their capabilities and capacities. Further, you have a wide range of Ship Classes to choose from which includes the likes of the Galactical Cruise Liner, Freight Runner, and the Catamarans. The only way you succeed is by managing your cargo load, avoiding accidents, and also upgrading your ability to dock safely with other ships.Īs one of the most impressive games of its kind, Ship Simulator features the all new physics engine that allows for incredible optimization of your cargo's speed and even the angle of the thrusters. These assignments might be to transport an alien specimen or even a human being. With exciting missions based on real life events from all over the globe, the all new Ship Simulator game is definitely going to take you to different outer space adventures! In the Ship Simulator, you play as a cargo hauler and are given several assignments to deliver cargo to different destinations.
