Unless you want to spend eight straight hours on one mission,and thats with time compression.
This is a highly immersive easily accesible,sim with very few glitches,all for £19.
Its very addictive,beware.

i can second that.
may cause troubles due to starforce copy-protection.
wife got upset when suddenly the cf-card reader was gone
(and refuses to install after the starforce setup).

Interested in this game, but not interested in buying a separate DVD drive. I have a combo DVD/CD-RW drive that works great and has installed several DVD games fine in the past.

How big of a problem is this Cider? And you say 8 hours, but you would have just slept during that time, right?

Tact - "I have too many games now but . . ." - S!

Yeah! Can you tell the program to wake you up if it finds a target?

tactical, there have been huge problems with installing sh3 on some machines and no troubles at all on others. over at the ubi-forum
(here)
you can find lots of posts of very angry customers (and solutions for some problems). my problem occured after installing the game: the starforce copy protection refused to accept the (correct entered) cd-key.there seem to be some issues with different dvd-drives. solution was a email to the starforce supoort team. the mailed a new cd-key (after 5 minutes!!!) and now the game runs ok.
there`s a no-cd exe available somewhere (for version 1.1), current pachtversion is 1.2 (i'm still with 1.1).
there's also a starforce removal-tool (and i will use it when there's a no-cd for version 1.2) which i would highly recomend to use (the compact-flash card reades is still not working, every attempt installing it ends wiht a reboot).
i also read at the forums that some dvd-drives refuse to read cd's after starforce installation (maybe a hoax).

but the game is fine

It seems with many games the anti piracy protection causes more problems for genuine customers than prevention of piracy.

Have full realism and tend to be cautious when around destroyers as I dont want to end career, thus I go slow and silent,and that takes time .I use time compression on the transit phase,albeit the crew /sleep issue tends to be a bit difficult,am on patrol number 13,out of Lorient,1941.

Please stop talking about this amazing game. I don't have the time to play it, I know I don't. And yet my willpower is fading. The darkside is indeed powerful. Please stop it mates!
