Just when it seems that the PC game industry seems smitten by battling spacecraft and robotic war machines, along comes a strategy game that is grounded in reality. Based on the naval battles of World War II, Fighting Steel proves to be just as exciting as any campaign to save the galaxy. Developed by Divide by Zero and published by SSi, Fighting Steel is a naval battle enthusiast's dream come true. It's inspiring to see that game companies are taking chances with real-world situations, proving that sometimes one doesn't have too peer far into the stars or delve into obscure mysticism to produce an exciting PC game experience. Realism is the name of the game here but that's not to suggest that realism equates to blandness, quite the contrary.
Naval vessels are detailed and slice across the water smoothly.
No detail was overlooked. Still shots of this game do not do it justice. Command towers and heavy artillery guns and dozens of other telltale battleship components are all present. Gamers will also appreciate the variety of ships. Divide by Zero really went out of its way to create a varied and dynamic gaming experience.
