Title: Well, it ain't exactly Harpoon 4, but maybe....
Post by: NJAntman on June 21, 2006, 08:01:40 am: Just heard the news that Harpoon 3 ANW is available.

I haven't played Harpoon 3 (LOK,KEE version) in a few years, but it looks like this one has some bugs worked out, new features, and some interesting databases, including a 1945 version.

Anyone out there have any experience with this one yet?

But they are known for clunky interface, but in a way, for what they're trying to do (make a highly detailed game that's easy to learn, hard to master) it's almost required.

Maybe their interface is clunky because the games aren't the typical RTS/FPS type stuff, and it's just a matter of "learning something completely different". For this game, I don't know, haven't played it.

But then again, playing some of their games, I'd do those interfaces a lot different and imho a lot less click-intensive, but just as capable.
