Ship Simulator is a
revolutionary simulation game that puts players at the helm of some of the most varied and
detailed ships to be found at sea.
Players will need to perform a multitude of tasks, all set within a stunning 3D
environment, taking control of a wide array of ship types - from massive cargo ships and
ferries, to speedboats, yachts, water taxis and even the mighty Titanic.
The waters you sail are also as varied as the ships, with newly added harbours such as
Southampton (including the Solent), Marseille and San Francisco. Ship Simulator 2008 will
amaze you with its progress and will rock your simulated world.
