Summary: very challenging game
Review: Silent Hunter 2 is a realistic and challenging game that uses
actual World War II sea battles. The options allow the player to
control the amount of difficulty making it an excellent game for
players of all caliber. Other options allow players to hear
commands in English or German. Stirring background music and
sound affects so real that you can almost feel the impact of
the "wasserbombs," not to mention the dreaded pinging of the
destroyers. Excellent interview with Ace Erich Topp who states
that "I was never afraid at any time" is included.

Summary: ON XP WINDOWS:IT RUNS FINE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Review: I dont understand why so many reviewers are saying that they were having problems running the game on xp...........it runs fine for me......the game was ok,I thought the graphics could have been better and I don't like the idea that if you fail the mission you have to start it over(no realism in that)I would wait for the price to drop before buying it!...........

Summary: Bugs, Bugs, Bugs and ahistorical.
Review: I have an open mind about naval simulations. This sim is one of the most disappointing sims I've ever played. If you like sims with lots of bugs and don't resemble the history they are supposed to portray than by all means waste your money...

Summary: I think you guys are crazy!
Review: Those of you who hate this game, that is. Maybe I like it because I never played Silent Hunter 1. It seems that most of those who were dissapointed in this game had been fans of the original. I find this game quite engaging and I have gotten it to run pretty well on windows XP. I find the graphics pretty good and the sound effects are quite good. I have had some crashes, but I'm not sure they have been any more frequent than the average new release, pre-patch. More important to me than the fanciest graphics is whether or not the game is fun to play, and I think this one is.

Summary: Not Supported by Ubi Soft Under Windows XP
Review: I bought this game, installed it, and had problems with it. When I asked for help, Ubi Soft (the people who support the game) replied "Unfortunately, Windows XP and Windows 2000 are not supported Operating Systems for most Ubi Soft games."If you are a die-hard sub fan running Windows XP, be prepared to spend a lot of time getting the game to work and to deal with the freezes and crashes. As for me, I won't be buying any more software from these folks. John

Summary: Too good to be true
Review: Yes, we all know that it doesn't work with XP, but I don't think it would be worth the [money] even if it did work. I can't believe the graphics........can you say "let's go back to 1997?" I played and thouroughly enjoyed "Jane's 688I Hunter/Killer" and I think that Jane's graphics are better! Not what I expect for paying [good money]......besides the fact that it doesn't even work on my machine...

Summary: Windows XP
Review: Although I have played Silent Hunter II and I for many hours, I had to upgrade my machine, which included Windows XP Home edition. You need not bother trying to get these games to play on XP! They won't and it is sad that the software company has no plans to upgrade the games so that they will according to their tech support. So ... a BIG BOOOOOOO!

Summary: Lots of fun until it crashes
Review: I like this game a lot, but I quit playing. The hardest part of completing a mission is making it through without it crashing. I finally hit my frustration point and put it away for good.

Summary: Utter Disappointment
Review: I should have heeded the warnings of others that I had thought were too pickey in their judgements of SILENT HUNTER II. Boy, have I regretted my purchase. I really tried to get something out of this PC game and I really tried to enjoy it, but after about four weeks of trying to deceive myself and admit that it was a "stinker", I uninstalled this poorly-executed example of a WW II Submarine Simulation. Also, I am not a "hard-core" gamer, just wanted to play "submarine" and have some kind of enjoyable experience. Not the case! A complete waste of money! Not much talent or technology went into this one!

Summary: a little buggy
Review: I have this "new" game sitting in the closet, hoping patches will some day appear to take care of the bugs. It does not run well with XP either. UBI tech support said this game isn't designed to run on XP. Now, I would think with all the delays it would be bug free and run on all the MS platforms.
If you want to be frustrated and start the game over and over again then buy it. The "new" Destroyer Command that just came out to go with SH2 is probably the same config. Check the UBI websight and read about the SH2 problems if you want more information.
