I knew what I was getting with this game, as I've seen it on YouTube many times and played the second one. There are newer silent hunters out which are graphically superior but I grew up with graphics like this so it's good for me. Playability wise it's all there, older games often are more play based rather than reliant on graphics alone and this game isn't lacking at all. You can make it as realistic or arcade like as you wish making it a great game to really get stuck into or just have a bit of fun sinking ships. It will keep you hooked for hours on end. Would recommend in a heart beat. Glad I got it.

Silent Hunter III is a classic Submarine Simulation/Wargame. The Graphics are very acceptable and the game play is quite compelling. One can either play the game in full simulation made, or in arcade style mode (where you have certain things - like torpedo target bearing calculating - worked out for you. The game does take time to get you (as Captain of the U-boat) up to speed regarding estimating bearings of ships and calculating the torpedo runs. All in all, Silent Hunter III is a down to Earth good game.

I bought the game because of the other reviews I'd read about this game. Ok, the game isn't perfect, but compared the later versions of this game, this one was the best. The game is a bit long winded at times and tedious, but that soon changes when you're involved in combat situations. The graphics are good, the playability is good also. Nothing beats being able to take down a ship while undetected, the realism is really good.
This is the best of the Silent Hunter series for game play, though it is dated by today's standards. However, it requires quite specific hardware and only runs on Win 98 so be careful before you buy. This used to be available on Steam, but they have stopped supporting Win 98, so a DVD is one of the few options remaining to play it. A great game that gets increasingly difficult as the Allies develop better anti-submarine tactics and weapons, brilliantly recreated in this game. Ideal for long dark winter nights.

This is my second copy of silent hunter 3, the original cracked and became unserviceable. SH3 is probably the best of the Silent Hunter franchise, combined with the mod GWX gold you have an exceptional sim. By 1943 as the Uboat commander your aim has become one of survival. The happy time are over, your only concern will be escaping the hell that the Royal Navy is about to unleash for sinking that oiler. How deep can I go, I must escape the depth charges, 200 meters is not deep enough, deeper chief, deeeeeper.
