What
the PSX needs is a good old strategy war game where the action takes place at
sea. Many games are available that include sea warfare as part of the content
but none exist that takes on the subject alone.
Take command of
Battleships, Cruisers, Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers, Patrol Boats, Submarines
and Troop Carriers. Each has an array of weapons to attack the enemy with.
There are two play areas and an on-screen map shows the whereabouts of each
vessel.
The smaller craft move across the waves quite quickly making
them a difficult target to hit while the Aircraft Carrier, which contains all of
your air fighting force, crawls across the sea at a slow rate of knots. This
makes it an easy target therefore it must be carefully guarded.
Options
are available to fight a single battle or partake in a series of missions on
the world map. If you decide on the latter then a whole fleet is entrusted to
your command. Unfortunately battles allow only two ships to participate at one
time, which kind of defeats the object of manoeuvering a whole fleet across the
ocean when a one on one is the only outcome.
