Guide Review - "Enigma Rising Tide" Review (PC)
Instead of recreating history "Enigma Rising Tide" gives us a chance to fight a war that has a different outcome. The naval game has online and offline play. This review is based on offline play. Even if you are a newbie to naval games, you'll learn the interface in minutes.The little touches found in both the graphics and sound are incredible. I'm a stickler for detail, and this game has lots. The patrols make for a great time, but the campaigns are the real challenge. Watching out for enemies is easy with the radar and radio screens.
"Enigma Rising Tide" will be a favorite for naval fans. Between the sound that will immerse you in the game, hours of gameplay, and online play, "Enigma Rising Tide" is not a game to miss.
