About Dangerous Waters
"S.C.S - Dangerous WatersTM" is a modern naval warfare simulator that gives players absolute control over multiple air, surface, and submarine platforms. Players will engage the enemy on, above, and below the ocean's surface as commander of ten of the world's most effective naval platforms. Gamers can focus their attention on taking direct control of individual crew stations, from sonar and radar rooms to weapon control and navigation consoles or they may automate those tasks so that they can act as the sole commander of their designated platform. Missions in "S.C.S - Dangerous WatersTM" are interconnected, with all consequences from previous missions affecting the next. In the campaign, gamers can play as the U.S., Russian, or Chinese forces. "S.C.S - Dangerous WatersTM" is rated Everyone by ESRB.
