Vintage Game Spot Review Rating: 50 out of 100
688 Attack Sub came out in 1991, based on the DOS computer
game of the same name. It is a real time simulator game where you are the
commander of the USS Los Angeles, an attack sub operating in the North Atlantic
You work your way through various missions destroying the enemy and evading
persuit.
Paul’s Review: 50 out of 100
This game is definitely not for those without a great deal
of patience. Everything happens in real time, or close to it, so a mission can
actually take quite a long time. There is no music and very little action. The
only voice that talks to you is sometimes hard to understand. Even for a game
made in 1991, they could have done better. You get more action out of watching
phlegm dry on a hot sidewalk.
That being said, if you like simulation games, you might
like this one. Even though I found a number of negatives about it, I still
couldn’t stop playing it. I have made it about two thirds through the entire
game and plan to finish… then I never plan to play it again.
The gameplay is difficult to pick up on. If you get a chance
to buy this, I wouldn’t do so unless it came with the instruction manual. The
manual is very detailed and gives you a layout of everything to do in the game.
In short, if you looking for an action packed game full of
explosions and blood and guts, look elsewhere. If your looking to try something
challenging and don’t mind taking quite a while to complete each mission, try
it out.
I didn’t have any of the other roommates help with this
review because this doesn’t seem like their kind of game and they would have
probably been bored to tears.
I can tell you have spent alot of time on this...don't know alot about video games, but you seem to be quite smart at it!!
