Ship Simulator 2006
Platform: PC
Publisher: Lighthouse Interactive
Review Type: Looky
Version: Trailer
My first impulse was to chuckle at the tense, cinematic music that accompanies the New York Harbor trailer for Ship Simulator. You can practically hear Harrison Ford screaming, "Get off my tugboat!" Since I haven't actually played an honest-to-God simulator in quite a long time, I assumed that most of the action in these kinds games comes from player screw ups. But it turns out that Ship Simulator has missions such as races, rescues and towing. Players can also create their own goals -- which could result in some very creative user concepts.
Still, I find the idealized view of New York harbor -- sunny, clean and underpopulated -- somehow naive. Maybe that's why people so many folks digs games like Grand Theft Auto so much -- they recreate the squalor of the modern metropolis life as faithfully as they recreate the landmarks.
