It's not all that bad, but it does have it's share of flaws. I've been looking into this game for a while and it looked pretty good, but unfortunately, it's a disappointment. The dialouge is OK at best, the action is horrendously slow and tedious, and it's difficulty range is between moderately hard and totaly impossible. But, as stated it's not all that bad. There are many different customization options to choose from and some of the mini games are quite addicting. If you want a good RPG for the Neo Geo, buy one of the following instead:

-SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighter's Clash

-Dark Arms: Beast Busters 99

-Bio Motor Unitron

Or if you already have these titles, as I do, you shoud buy Faselei! a Mech strategy RPG that looks quite promissing. But if your really desperate for an RPG and you buy this, don't say I didn't warn you.

I was so eager to play this game. It sounded great. A RPG/sub game. An interesting combination but the actual game was lack-luster. There was a lot of text which is ok if, when you do get to the game, it makes up for the long drawn out story. unfortunately, the game part is slow. VERY slow and makes you wish for the text screen come back.

The gameplay consists of guiding you triangle shooting at blobs. There is no detail to your ship and you can only fire two shots at one time so if you miss your target, you have to wait your till shot goes off the screen before you can fire again....

In conclusion... Avoid this game.

Dive alert(any version)is a good game with a bad storyline. The consept is great. The storyline sounded good originally but turned into a regular RPG platform. You trust someone then you find out that they are the bad guy. The fighting is great. I personaly LOVE subs and other boats. This may be the reason for my rating, but in my mind I feel that this game is good. I hope this helped.

Much like the other reviewers, I looked forward to this game. I did not have my hopes set so high but was hoping for a good road trip game. What I found was a slow plodding game that is insanely tepid.

The 'story' part takes forever to get through. I think some dialog is lost in translation, which is totally forgivable, but most of it is just a poorly structured linear story. The game play itself is very very slow and at times overly difficult. The best thing I found out in the game was not to do the story missions for awhile and stick with just getting money and experience for your sub. Customizing the sub is neat but the menus and part names are poorly organized.

This is a good idea with just some bad graphics and worse delivery.
