Lighthouse Interactive’s Ship Simulator 2007 announced with gameplay video

The game Ship Simulator 2007 published by Lighthouse Interactive and developed by VSTEP is the sequel to last year’s Ship Simulator 2006. The video game set new grounds last year with the accurate simulation of different ships in various environments. That said, this video game is a niche title, for those who demand absolute realism from their games.

Ship Simulator 2007 is a through-development of the current simulator, but should be graphically better since it will be using an upgrade of the original Quest 3D engine. The gameplay will still be the same, with you taking control of a ship and following a pre-made mission or just simply sailing around. There is no word whether this game will allow users to design their own missions like in Ship Simulator 2006. The other features are covered below.

Ship Simulator 2007 will be released throughout all European countries, excluding the German-speaking territories and Benelux this June. If you want to check out how the game is looking as of now, check out the video and see if the game is for you.
