This is simulation is set inside a submarine on a seek and destroy mission. You patrol an area of the North Sea off the German coast and your task is to seek out and destroy any German submarines. Using the periscope you have to get the enemy sub in sight and sink it using torpedoes. This is no easy task and requires quite a bit of practice to become competent. As well as the difficulty of actually controlling the sub, you are in constant threat from other such niceties as coastal mines, depth charges and destroyers and aircraft. Hunter Killer is a very frantic game and has you constantly flicking through several screens to examine the various gauges. The graphics and sound tend to let it down a bit as does the initial frustration of controlling the Hunter Killer submarine, which proves to be every bit as finicky as an airliner. Quite a good game for simulation addicts but it is difficult to get the hang of it. Overall AMTIX! rating: 56% AMTIX
