World at War or Silent Hunter III?

[Sean of the Thread]

Has anyone played or purchased either of these titles yet? Looking for feedback.

If it has come out already, I'd go to Gamespot.com to watch the video review. Those guys are pretty good bullshit detectors, becouse they're just regular joes like us.

I have silent hunter III. I have a lot of fun with it, but there are some outstanding issues... People with NVIDIA cards have trouble with the particle effects. You have to turn them off when using the periscope, and deck mounted binoculars (sp?). That means you don't see pretty flames when you are sending a ship to the bottom. There's also some annoying crew management issues, whiney bastards need sleep apparently, and there's no way to automaticly set up a rotation, you gotta keep checking back and swapping out those that are too tired to work. That aside, it's a great game, and if you're into that sort of thing, I'd recomend it.

How about multi play?
