Product Description

Product Description

Submerge yourself in the underwater world of Dive Alert: Matt's Version. A catastrophe has befallen Earth and only one city, Terra, remains. The rest of the globe is a vast ocean filled with people willing to fight to reach Terra. From there, you command your very own SAS in this underwater submarine simulation role-playing game.

Experience realistic submarine warfare using sonar, depth charges, and torpedoes. Lurking beneath the waves, the last thing your enemies will hear is the pulsing of their sonar quickening as your torpedo reaches their hull. With your navigator, search the seas for money, upgrades, and maritime encounters. Collect equipment and new submarines by defeating opponents. Gain experience in the mission mode. Receive extra cash in the training mode. You can also link against a friend and play for keeps in the interactive battle mode. Splash into Dive Alert, where the aquatic adventure of a lifetime awaits. Two versions of the game feature different submarines--Matt captains the subs in this version, while Becky's the star of the other version.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best RPG (if it can be called that) for the NGPC, July 9, 2004

Summary
Ok, first of all, this game IS part RPG. Granted, it is a submarine sim at heart, but most of its elements are RPG elements. It is a great game, the best submarine sim you will probably ever find, and one of the best games on the NGPC.

Gameplay/Graphics 4/5
There have been many complaints with the gameplay and graphics. The thing is, the graphics are very good. The sonar screen LOOKS like a sonar screen. You have to realize that this is the only thing the actual character in the game has to look at to steer, so it should be the only thing you have to look at. I would have put some hands on the controls to either side of the sonar screen to make it seem more realistic, but hey, its a handheld game. To compensate for the sonar screen, Sacnoth has given us beautiful still cutscenes to flege out the story, but again people didn't like this because they were too long. People are never happy -_-. I personally like a lot of story in my game, but thats me.

Sound 5/5
The music is amazing in this game. It is the best i have ever seen on a handheld. The music even stops at dramatic points in the game. over all the sound is amazing.

overall 4/5
If you can find this game for under 15.00 get it. If you arent sure, do your research on it first, then make your decision. If you are looking for a very unique title(not to mention developed by former Squaresoft employees) seek this one out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Matt's Version, May 5, 2000

This review is from: Dive Alert: Matt's Version (Video Game)

First of all this is not an RPG its, a Submarine Simulation (and a bad one at it) This game if for serious Gamers only, if you are not into playing for hours on end looking at a cheaply made sonar screen just to come to along story plot(again)just to be put back onto the sonar scren again out to look for an X - this is not the game for you. This game can be fun if your into this kind of stuff and the way the gamelets you get into depht is nice but Sacnoth (brand Name) could have did a MUCH better job in making this. So if this already dosnt sound like your type of game may i reccomend Beast Busters: Dark Arms!
