Thumbs down Re: Are there ANY world war 1 games out there?

Then of course there's Shells of Fury, the WWI sub game. While it's historically acurate (fas as I can tell) it's gameplay will, I'm afraid, appeal largely to sub buffs. There is an absence of the whoop and whirl of many of the more recent celebrated WWII sub offerings (Silent Hunter IV, Sub Command, etc.), it's at least worth a mention.

You target, tract, and fire on the allies (you're a Geman commander) in a not so hot grapical reperesentation (one reviewer labled it 'cartoonish'). The sound effects, are, however, outstanding (I still shudder at the ka-boom! of the deck gun!)

It has a pretty neat 3D library of all the vessels involved in the conflict. Over all, I still play it time to time, like it somewhat, but it's hardly one for the record books.
