Video Game Reviews of Jane's Naval Warfare Collection (688(i), Fleet Command, F/A-18)
Customer Review: Most Accurate Simulations Around.
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not buy this package specifically, but I have all three of these games as well as Longbow Gold. These are the finest military simulations ever. They were developed with help from the US Navy, (and the Army, in Longbow's case), which secures accuracy in my mind. Navy personnel have been trained on 688I and F/A-18. That says something. I have seen some people complain about playability. These people are the wrong players for these games. Yes, most of the Janes sims ARE hard to play, but look at the game! This isn't a racecar game or a 'kill-everything-in-sight' game. These sims are strategy games, which force the user to THINK (imagine that!) about what they are doing, and how it will affect events down the line. Those that are into the military and can think logically will love these games. Anyone who just wants to blow stuff up should not waste their money.688(I)-- Beats "Tom Clancy's SSN" hands down. Yes, the graphics aren't the greatest, and there is alot to learn to truely experience running a nuke sub, the realism is what make this game a winner. The tension as you tail a Soviet SSBN into Soviet waters, the tension as you wait to see if your torpedo was aimed properly. The variety of mission, and the ability to make your own. 688I is not to be beaten.
F/A-18-- I just purchased this so I havent experienced the full essence of the game, but from what I have seen of it, there is a no more accurate Navy flight simulator. You have all the elements of flying a Hornet up to and almost including the Gs. A great buy.
Fleet Command-- What can be said? There is no other game like it. It is the biggest force the Navy has to offer, and now you control it. The element of realism is prevelant in all three of these games.
I feel that these three (and Longbow, not reviewed here) are the best Janes has to offer, and if you can think logically, enjoy strategy games, and can appreciate a deep, real life simulation, then this package is worth every penny. Amazon has a great deal here. I wish I would have seen it before I bought them seperatly.
Almost all Janes games are worth the every penny. There is one or two (that I will not name so Amazon doesnt send me hate mail...Just kidding guys!) that sacrifice some realism to make the game more playable, and I won't buy them for this reason. Make it real. People who appreciate it will take the time to learn the game.
