Oh, god. That is terrible.

1. USAF ranks on a WWII diesel sub? The USAF didn't even exist at the time, never mind that USAF logos are on a naval submarine of any type.
2. Woodland camo on ANY submarine? WTF is the point of that?
3. Flying a white flag underwater? I don't know what's worse: Flying a white flag (a sign of surrender) or flying any type of flag underwater.

Even worse....

You dive almost instantly, graphics are $@!&, you can only fire 1 torpedo, reload times are too fast, the AA gun is so stupid, no deck gun, fighter planes can kill you with mg fire at periscope depth, only 2 depth settings, the periscope is always up, sonar is horrible, I actually paid for it, the guy at gamestop actually sold it to me, and my xbox allowed me to play it. >:-|

Thanks for the heads up, was thinking of buying it but the warnings here are enough to cancel that.

Anything to keep people from playing that game.

I'm saving people so much money.

You know, I saw it, I was interested, and I knew that I shouldn't expect much from it.

I'm going to wait for the price to drop a little more and I'll prolly pick it up on the cheap.

Err.. what exactly indicated anything more than arcade-ish game when you looked
at the back cover?

Not to mention the fact that it's for xbox.

It's like buying a turd and saying it stinks.

Here's an arcade game that was DECENT! I played this one many times in my youth. I remember these machines at Nathan's and Rye Playland. For you youngsters out there, this is way before X Box: http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7...de/sperisc.htm
