Mixed bag this one. At a price of 9,99€ i can not recommend it but if you can get it for a couple of euros it's definitely worth it. 2-5 euros is the price point i'd give to this game that Akella left a bit too rough on the edges. Good: - Sometimes you get the 'being there' feeling. - Skirmishes around a convoy can be epic as you try to struggle your way through - Looks pretty good though forget DirectX10. doesnt work for anyone. i play with 9.0c settings. - Detailed guns and boats and crew. - Good enough UI once you learn it's quirks. - Good enough and fun enough management of destroyers and other ships under your command if you got any. - Good looking smoke - when it decides to stay visible. Bad - UI is rough in the corners. also forget about modern day markers telling you exactly what to do - instead listen closely what the instructions are and follow them - or try to work yourself around them. (i.e. go to sector G-7 and look for a convoy - how about going north of that ...

About This Game
PT Boats is dedicated to a small group of little known but perhaps some of the most daring naval combatants of World War II: the torpedo boat crews. These ships are small, fast and agile, and extremely dangerous due to the on-board torpedo launchers. But they are also the most vulnerable of all military vessels. More than once in the history of WWII, a handful of those little deadly boats helped decide the course of an entire battle and executed seemingly impossible missions.
They were called the "mosquito fleet" because of their unique combat tactics. Using speed and agility, dodging enemy fire, PT boats approached seemingly giant enemy ships in a fight of David against Goliath, stung them with well aimed torpedo volleys - and immediately withdrew!
The casualties were immense, but the results often worth these lives and sacrifices. These small heroes of the great war made an unforgettable contribution to the Allied victory.
Key features:
- The game combines key elements of a strategic, tactical and action simulator
- The player can control each crew member separately, or command whole groups of ships
- Flexible options allow the player to fully customize the game difficulty
- Military units are recreated using authentic historical documents
- All game objects use real-life physics
- Beautiful and realistic sea and ambiance effects never seen before
- Support of DirectX 10 and multi-core processors.

this is a must have for any WW2 navy geeks..ultra realistic, tough missions, great graphics, detailed modelling. I recommentd the Pt BOAT gold pack as both original and expansion are worth the price at $14.99
The game could be really cool - and honestly isn't that bad when you get it to work. Do direct x 9 and you may get it to work for a while but it hard locked my computer after playing for a few minutes.
Barely passable, totally missed out on the Pacific and ALL American boats, there's no customizing boats like the US did, crews are killed off immediately, missions are hard especially because you can only really control the PT boats and the computer crew is very bad at decision making, such as firing at a target. Torpedo sights are bad, hip shooting works best. Poorly thought out game overall.
A mix of Battlestations Midway and Silent Hunter. Runs perfectly for an older game as well.
This game has had loads of unjustified complaints or maybe my very straight forward Win 7x 64 bit with lots of ram and quad core p.c. is just the perfect diet for the game because it looks beautiful,is bug free so far and oddly has a particularly strong "being really there " feeling.Plus it's on Steam's summer sale and the gold Version is dirt cheap during the sale.Ok it's tough going and sadly I'm yet to torpedo anything but that's more down to my blundering than some torpedoic bug.Controls are wonderfully easy and superbly functional : you want to bang off a few rounds at some nearby nautical bad guys push "1" or '2" and you are in the gunners position.Fire discipiline is required as the guns will overheat.Push "3 " and you are back in control of the boat. Sounds arcade but that certainly isn't the feel.Watching your radar and seeing fast approaching red blips "E boats!" is a real buzz. This is a pretty hard game as was I would imagine things were back in the day. The sh...
the game has great graphics but that's about it. The interface is dificult to understand and hard to use. The tutorials are confusing. Needs a lot of work to be playable.
A nice game. First the problems: Many users have compatibility issues. In my case I use Win 8.1 64X with an AMD card, I tried the demo in the page of the editor however, I was unable to make it work, fortunately a user in the forums posted the link to the proper driver, I installed it (no rocket science) and the demo ran perfectly. http://steamcommunity.com/app/10250/discussions/0/846954921855418513/ If you are interested in this game try the demo first, if it does not work please check the forums Now the game features. There are 3 tutorial missions, and 54 missions in campaign. Weserübung: 1940, 5 missions, Germany and Great Britain. English Channel: 1940, 5 missions, Germany and Great Britain. Cold Waters: 1943, 4 missions, Germany and Soviet Union. Land under sight: 1944, 4 missions, Soviet Union. Routine service: 5 missions, Germany, Allies and Soviet Union. Bonus missions: 2 missions, Germany, Allies and Soviet Union. You control a PT Boat, you can change stations, art...
Very poor, promises plenty delivers little, even in the tutorial the interface does not work, plus the horrendous racist german voice overs are enough to completely ruin what could have been a good game, garbage, avoid!
DO NOT BUY. The game only works for a few lucky people and otherwise it's a total waste of money.
