Brett Todd GameSpot	March 24, 2010 - Mediocre - Right now, despite the undeniable promise and more than a few moments where excitement and tension make you forget about the many bugs and design flaws, the fifth edition in this series just isn't ready to be released from the drydock. Full Review


Steve Butts IGN	March 29, 2010 - Mediocre - Taking out a pair of destroyer escorts and then picking off the unprotected convoy is an amazing experience, but you're constantly distracted by the bugs and poor design decisions. We hope that with another few months the community will iron out the worst of these. Full Review

Poor - As a game, Silent Hunter 5 fails because the bugs and UI render it a chore. As a simulation, it fails because the bugs and UI render it ridiculous and incomplete. As a product, it's just overwhelming disrespectful to this long running series' fans. And finally, as one of the first games to receive Ubisoft's new copy protection, it's an embarrassment.

Ewan Aiton Strategy Informer	April 19, 2010 - Poor - Silent Hunter 5: Battle for the Atlantic would have been a fitting and enjoyable experience had it not been so inexplicable demanding on hardware, buggy and generally frustrating. Poor coding and Ubisoft's paranoid DRM successfully manages to torpedo any enjoyment to be had from playing this game. Full Review
