DESCRIPTION

The Hunt for Red October transforms the action and suspense of the 1990 movie into a slow, poorly constructed shooter with simplistic graphics and frustrating gameplay. As the commander of the Red October submarine attempting to defect from the Soviet Union, you must overcome massive amounts of enemy firepower to succeed. Navigating the sub through the overly crowded stages is tricky, and an essentially useless status bar and radar takes up one third of the screen. And if the Russians don't get you first, the droning music certainly will. ~ Skyler Miller, All Game Guide
