DESCRIPTION

One of the most important, less celebrated factors of World War II was the line of ships that traveled across the Atlantic, allowing the United States to keep troops and supplies flowing to Great Britain and the Soviet Union. These supply ships were in constant danger of being gunned out of the water by the deadly, silent, German U-Boat submarines. The presence of the German submarines demanded strategic planning and a solid defense in the Atlantic. Many historians believe that they nearly changed the course of the war with their vicious, sudden attacks.

Players take command of one of these deadly submarines in this sequel to the well-received 1995 original Silent Hunter. The game features accurate, working models of every U-Boat station, allowing players to take up different positions around the submarine. Players can engage in single-battle scenarios or play through an entire campaign, perhaps even changing the course of virtual history through their efforts. In addition to multiplayer support between Silent Hunter II gamers, the title will also "inter-operate" with Ultimation Inc.'s Destroyer Command naval battle sim, significantly broadening the gameplay options and context of conflict. ~ T.J.
