2.0 out of 5 stars Starforce Warning!, May 27, 2009

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Enigma: Rising Tide Gold Edition (CD-ROM)

This game comes with a version of starforce that wouldn't let my CDRW read anything for as long as it was installed. The game was decent enough and played well, but my drive wouldn't recognize any other CD until I uninstalled the game and ran the starforce removal tool. Then everything was back to normal. It's a definite problem if you want to do more with your CPU than play this game and the "more" involves using your CDRW. I have an older system (Dell 8250, P4, 3GHZ) and someone with more up-to-date hardware might not experience the same problem. I understand starforce messes with older drives and not the new ones. So gamble if you like. As I said, the game is very decent if you are into naval warfare.

First off, this game seems to require some pretty beefy system requirements so make sure your computer is up to par with the recommended system specs. This is a pretty fun game because it really lets you take control of wartime vessels. I will admit that it is one of those games you may not play much but you are glad you own. The graphics are detailed and the visual effects are pretty cool as well. There are a fair amount of ships that you can take control of, everything from submarines to full-sized battleships. When you are in rough weather the boats will bounce over waves to the point where the screws are exposed. It can be tough to fire a deck gun when the boat is bouncing around but if you are looking for simulated maritime warfare this game fits the bill.

This review is from: Enigma: Rising Tide Gold Edition (CD-ROM)

overall this is a very good game.graphics are great.lots of replay value.just like being on the bridge of a real naval ship.Only couple drawbacks.1)depthcharging is very hard, and one of the few tasks you cant assign to the crew.2)its accuracy in what tools were available at the time on board certain ships is maybe a little to real,since you are "playing a game", and not really there it makes it little harder to cope with some of the situations, like depthcharging a sub.I also own "Silent Hunter 3", it is a lot better in the aspect of being user friendly towards accomplishing your desired tasks.Just got "Enigma", last week 9/6/06, and am still learning the system, but am overall pretty happy with the game.Hope this will help when deciding to purchase or not. If I had to do over,knowing the small problems,(if you can even call it that), I would still have bought the game.Happy hunting!!
